Which 5060 ti do you mean? The one that you linked to is only 8GB.

Here is a very indepth review of the 5060 Ti 16GB, at 1440p and 4k. There are some pure RayTracing performance charts near the end of the video as well, with the 5070 being compared as well in this video.

Its a tough choice..

There will be a 16 game average at 1440p and 4k as well so its easier to get an idea of the performance between the two.
