Well, if Conina's Steam Hardware survey thread is anything to go by, I'd say that it's one of the better selling cards this gen, even if the recent price drop doesn't make it seem so.

The 5060Ti 16GB seriously needs a price cut, the 9060XT outperforms it most of the time and yet it's priced lower than the 5060Ti 8GB

I know that the recent drivers have made the 9070XT perform on par or faster than the 5070Ti in pure raster or games with light RT but, like HoloDust, I haven't seen new benchmarks with the 9060XT and 5060Ti that makes me think the same is happening with those two cards.

Oh, I've seen someone going for 5070, he has no clue about PCs, and even though he was advised against it, he went for it cause it's nVidia. Which is silly, given that you can get 9070 for about the same money, and that is better than 5070 in pretty much everything.

I went with 9060XT in latest upgrade (out of 4 PCs, two are on RTX 30 series, but two were with old RX 570, so it was time for them to get refreshed - still one left to go I guess), since, at the time, price difference between it and 5060Ti was bigger than it's now.

The 9070 is a surprisingly powerful card. When AMD announced the two 9070 the non-XT one loocked like the typical upsell to push users to the XT version, but it's actually an excellent card, much faster than the 5070 and very close to the 9070XT and also the 5070Ti.

But Nvidia has that much brand power that it can sell anything just because its name is on it.

The 9060 XT is also a really great card and, if I had to buy a card today (I'll rock my GPU for as long as I can), that's the card I'd pick.
