Preface
Strictly speaking, the most fair competitor to the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB should be the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB. However, since the latter has not yet been released, for now we can only compare it with the Radeon RX 9070. Of course, such a comparison is inherently unfair and somewhat lacking in sportsmanship.
Nevertheless, comparing the performance differences between the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and the Radeon RX 9070 is still meaningful. Even if the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is less powerful, it may still be acceptable if it offers a better price-to-performance ratio.
