Why buy each?

AMD RX 7600 XT

16GB at budget pricing

Most VRAM per dollar in the clearance market.

150W TDP

Ultra-efficient.

Clearance value

Street prices well below $329 MSRP.

NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti

16GB GDDR7 at $399

Finally resolves the VRAM debate — double the memory of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB at the same price.
