Confused between 9060 XT and 7800 XT

Just as a heads up:

I noticed the 128bit bandwidth bus and knew something like this was coming. I don't even need to watch that video but just by judging the thumbnail I know it performs badly on PCIe 3.0.
Wasn't there another card that had same weakness? 5060 TI? or was it 4060 TI?

This is for the 8gb card which is anyway a big no.
16 gb seems fine.

5060ti 8gb i read is x8. But has gddr7. Will suck even more on old pcie probably.

Issue is not everybody knows about the 8GB vs 16GB VRAM performance difference. Combine that with how much worse 8GB variant performs on older PCIe versions its a double whammy. Those who buy it for their old systems thinking it will be a nice upgrade are in for a nice "treat" instead.

I wish 16GB PCIe 5.0 x16 benchmark was included in the video as well just so I compare if there's even a little bit of difference between it and the earlier versions.

5.0 vs 4.0 is barely 2-3%, same for 4.0 vs 3.0, unless you hit the VRAM cap or have lower lanes (like 5.0 x8 running at 3.0 x8).
