RX 7700 XT 12GB
₹42,000₹10,000 CHEAPER · 12GB VS 8GBFive percent slower on paper, ₹10,000 cheaper in hand, and it carries the VRAM that keeps a card usable.GetPC's catalogue gives these cards relative performance scores of 35 and 37, a gap of roughly 6% from the RX 7700 XT baseline. That is a broad suitability model, not a universal benchmark result. The clearer differences are ₹10,000 in current price and 12GB versus 8GB of memory.
That VRAM gap is the whole page. At 1080p today, 8GB copes. At 1440p, or at 1080p with texture packs and the settings people actually use, 8GB is already the thing forcing compromises while the 7700 XT keeps going. You cannot add VRAM later - it is the least reversible decision on a graphics card.
The honest counterweight is power and features. The 7700 XT pulls 245W against 180W and wants a 700W supply where NVIDIA specifies 600W for the 5060 Ti reference configuration, so factor the PSU into the decision. And if the games you play lean hard on ray tracing or DLSS 4, the 5060 Ti earns some of its premium back. For most Indian buyers at this budget, the 7700 XT is the better hardware for the money.
The 7700 XT saves you ₹10,000 but asks for a 700W supply against NVIDIA's 600W reference figure. If your current plan has a 550W unit, re-evaluate the complete system load, connectors and the exact PSU model. An unsuitable unit can cause shutdowns or instability under GPU load, so part of the saving may need to go into the power supply.
12GB at 1440p is the difference between holding high textures and lowering them. The ₹10,000 saving is the bonus, not the reason.
If your library leans on RT and DLSS 4, the premium buys something real. Just accept 8GB as the ceiling you are choosing.
180W versus 245W is a meaningful practical difference in a cramped build with an existing power supply you would rather not replace.
At the catalogue prices shown here, the RX 7700 XT costs about ₹10,000 less and gives 12GB instead of 8GB. GetPC's relative scores are 35 and 37; check independent benchmarks for your games because that model is not a measured FPS average.
Yes, comfortably, for current titles at high settings. It is the specification that separates these two cards in practice - 8GB already forces texture compromises at 1440p in some 2026 games.
AMD lists 245W typical board power and a 700W minimum PSU recommendation. NVIDIA lists 180W total graphics power and 600W required system power for the RTX 5060 Ti reference configuration. Exact AIB requirements can vary.
The 7700 XT, primarily because of VRAM. Raw speed between them is close, but 8GB is the specification most likely to force settings down first, and it cannot be upgraded.
RX 7700 XT 12GB
Mid-tier 1440p. Beats RTX 4060 Ti in raster. Weaker ray tracing, no DLSS, but ₹5-8K cheaper for similar raster.
RTX 5060 Ti 8GB
Budget Blackwell option. 8GB VRAM is limiting for 1440p at max settings. 16GB variant is strongly preferred — spend the extra ₹13K unless on a tight budget.
