Easily the 5060 Ti! Memory bandwidth difference is so amazing. From 288 to 448.

The 5060 Ti can do it all even Indiana Jones game on 4k unlike the 4060 runs out on vram issues constantly it's pretty pathetic and embarrassing for a 1080 card with a 128 bus being so small not being able to step in and save it again
