Graphic Cards Help in deciding between 9060XT and 9070.

Its time to upgrade my GPU from RX 580. Its still working fine but I think I will change it anyway (Its 8 year old now).

Now, the thing is that I am not hardcore gamer (I play casually like MSFS, CoD etc.) and my current resolution is 1080. If I keep this in mind then I feel that I should be OK with 9060XT 16GB card. But then I don't often change my GPU (if it doesn't die on its own) and hence will like to get a card which will last for atleast another 5-6 years without giving me any hiccups in future gaming titles. I might also upgrade to 1440 monitor and AM5/AM6 CPU (from my current 5600X) in a year or two. With this in mind I feel 9070 should be a better option (though it costs lot more than 9060XT).

Can anybody please help decide?

Will you be ok with 9060xt at 1080p? Imo yes. But..

while 9070 will be more expensive, if budget is not a constraint, it would be more future proof, especially considering you're looking to upgrade your cpu in the future.

The 9070 would be less of a potential bottle neck.
