Live benchmark data
Not enough verified runs yet for a fair pool verdict — averages appear once each side has at least five.
Verdict — RTX 5060
Perfectly capable for its use case but the 8 GB VRAM ceiling matters in 2026 titles. If you're going to keep this card 4+ years, look at the 9060 XT or the 5060 Ti 16 GB instead.
Verdict — RTX 4090
If you already have one, keep it — it's still a top-tier card. If you're shopping used, weigh it against a new 5080; the used discount needs to be significant to justify the older architecture.
