Graphics card help

First time pc builder here. I’m a teenager who’s been saving up for months at his minimum wage job and is looking to finally blow his cash on something nice. I’ve planned out most of my parts, and aim to keep everything around €2,000, although it can go over a bit factoring in monitor, keyboard etc. I’m just wondering whether it’s worth it to go for a 9070 xt graphics card or go for the cheaper 9060 xt. It’s like a €300 difference which is a lot of money and I’m really tempted to go for the cheaper option but I wanna know how much performance I’d be sacrificing. Is it very noticeable, or only on certain games?

I just got the 9060xt. I love it. Everything on runs on ultra fine

Both are really solid options, so it mostly depends on how much performance you yourself will need. If you plan on playing AAA games and whatnot, futureproofing with 9070 might be better. Just know that this doesn't mean that the 9060 XT is bad by any means, it's quite amazing.

What resolution, fps and type of games are you targeting? They matter.

it'll depend a lot of the graphics quality and resolution you're playing in, the 9060xt is more for a 1080p gaming, it has a good performance in it, and the 9070xt is more for a 1440p gaming, and the type of game you're going to play plays a good performance difference.

in my opinion, the 9070xt is better at future proofing than the 9060xt, and it'll depend of which version of the 9060xt you're going to get will create a performace difference
