Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti vs AMD Radeon 9060 XT with DLSS and FSR Enabled

Damn, a difference of 120 dimmadollars? NVidia time to meet Doug Dimmadome co-owner of Dimmadelphia and owner of the world famous Dimmsdale Dimma Dome, father of Dale Dimmadome and son of Dev Dimmadome...

It seems odd to compare like for like upscaling when we know that DLSS looks better at a given quality level. Especially when most games are stuck on FSR2 or FSR3 and on cards that are targeted at 1080p or 1440p.

It's not odd, it's just not the best way to test these GPUs by default because of the reasons you mention. But if you wanted to know how the two perform with upscaling enabled, here's this article that tells you just that. It's also a bonus that FSR 4 is much better than previous versions (DLSS 3 quality or better equivalent, DLSS 4 is still the best IQ wise).
 
Takeaways and recommendations: Spend another 100 bucks for miniscule FPS improvements and image quality whilst pixel-peeping.
No wonder this outlet is starting to be ridiculed.
 
If you have to stick your nose to the screen to see a difference in quality VS DLSS and FSR, then there is no difference
If you need to do that to see the difference between FSR2/3 (which most games are on) and DLSS, IQ and fancy GPUs aren't really your concern.

That's not everything they said. If you are looking to be offended you'll always find a reason I'm sure. If you wanted to be fair you would have read everything they said:

"...AMD has done a decent job expanding FSR 4 support, particularly in titles released in 2025, but the total number of supported games remains limited. It also excludes many popular older titles that people still play today..."

They tempered any recommendation with this caveat which is an important consideration. What's the point in talking about upscaling and comparing them if the best version of that technology isn't available on the games you play?
