Notes on 4 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
- 2AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
- 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.
Performance and Efficiency
The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT delivers higher FP32 compute at 37.3 TFLOPS, giving it an edge in heavy compute workloads compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at 23.7 TFLOPS.
However, the RTX 5060 Ti wins on efficiency, requiring only a 180 W board power and a 500 W PSU compared to the 263 W power draw and 700 W recommended PSU needed for the Radeon RX 7800 XT.
Memory and Speed
While both cards feature 16 GB of video memory, the RTX 5060 Ti uses newer GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. The Radeon RX 7800 XT relies on GDDR6 memory at 19.5 Gbps paired with a wider 256-bit bus and 64 MB of last-level cache, yielding a higher memory bandwidth of 624 GB/s.
Under the hood, the RTX 5060 Ti counters with higher clock speeds, featuring a 2,407 MHz base clock and 2,572 MHz boost clock driven by its Blackwell architecture.
Size and Compatibility
The RTX 5060 Ti is more compact, featuring a 241 mm card length and a 2-slot width that fits easily into tighter builds. The Radeon RX 7800 XT is longer at 267 mm and takes up 2.5 slots.
For motherboard connectivity, the RTX 5060 Ti supports PCIe 5.0 using 8 lanes, whereas the Radeon RX 7800 XT uses PCIe 4.0 with 16 lanes.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB if you want a cooler, more efficient card with newer memory tech and a lower launch price. Buy the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT if you need higher raw FP32 compute and wider memory bandwidth for demanding workloads.
