why tf are more people voting for the RX 5700xt over the RTX 4060 when the RTX 4060 is way more powerful than the 5700xt?!!

i guess price to performance or how good it has aged, if you remove the disastrous pricing of 40 series then the 40 series especially laptop was arguably the best excluding 10 series

XD the RTX 4060 is not more powerful and the RTX 4060 is barely 10-15% faster for hundreds of more euros the RTX 4060 is not worth it. The RX 5700 XT and the RX 5700 are better than RTX 4060.
