Which is better for 1440p gaming?

Both handle 1440p with 16GB of VRAM. The Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti pulls ahead in ray-traced games and when DLSS is on. The Asus RX 9060 XT is close in plain raster games.

Which card fits a small case?

The Asus. It is 8 inches long and 2.5 slots. The Gigabyte is 11 inches and uses a larger triple-fan cooler, so check clearance before buying.

Is DLSS worth choosing the Gigabyte over the Asus?

If you play demanding titles with ray tracing, yes. DLSS and frame generation give the RTX 5060 Ti a clear edge. For raster-only games the gap is smaller.

Do both have 16GB of memory?

Yes. The Asus uses GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 20 Gbps. The Gigabyte uses newer GDDR7. Both are enough for 1440p textures.

What power supply do they need?

The Gigabyte lists a 180W TDP and one 8-pin connector, so a 550W or better PSU is sensible. Asus does not list a TDP, but the card is smaller and draws less.

Both have 16GB, so neither should run out of VRAM soon at 1440p. The Gigabyte's DLSS support tends to age better as new games get heavier.

Asus Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB vs Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 16GB

Both cards have 16GB of VRAM and target 1080p and 1440p gaming. The Asus RX 9060 XT is the smaller card at 8 inches and 2.5 slots, so it fits more cases. The Gigabyte RTX 5060 Ti is 11 inches long and adds DLSS, better ray tracing and a 180W TDP. Pick the Asus for small builds and pure raster value; pick the Gigabyte for ray tracing, DLSS and Nvidia features.
