AMD's new RX 9060 XT graphics card will launch in 8GB and 16GB VRAM versions

AMD announced its latest graphics card, the Radeon RX 9060 X, earlier this week, at Computex 2025. This is the third GPU in the AMD 9000 series lineup, also includes the RX 9070 and 9070 XT, and is scheduled to be released on June 5. While positioning it as an entry-level option in the RX 9000 series, the RX 9060 XXT runs on the same rnda 4 architecture and is a dump of RX 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070 and 9070. And DisplayPort 2.1A and HDMI 2.1B support.
AMD is producing two versions of the RX 9060 XT: one with 8GB VRAM and the other with 16GB VRAM. Both models will have 32 RDNA 4 CUS (Computing Units), up to 3.13GHz clock speeds, and between the 150W and 182W power ranges, depending on the model's VRAM and clock speed. While these are reliable specifications for entry-level cards, there is a bit of a mess from there.
Power and Pricing
AMD lists MSRP $300 for 8GB models and 16GB models lists $350. However, the company has not released the RX 9060 XT reference card itself. Instead, third-party manufacturers such as Asus, Acer, Gigabyte, etc. are launching their own version of the RX 9060 XT, starting June 5. So performance, draw and pricing will vary, and the various RX 9060 XTs may vary (especially for some GPUs of these GPUs that affect some speeds of MSS, so the speeds encountered and the reference speeds will be similar. Price).

As for performance, the RX 9060 XT 16GB is positioned as a replacement for AMD's RX 7600 XT, as its flagship entry-level GPU, making it a major contender for the NVIDIA $300 GEFORCE RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 TI (this is $380 for the 8GB version or the 8GB version or $380 ti for the 16G29 (which either costs $380). According to AMD's Computex 2025 talk, the company's internal tests found that the RX 9060 XT was 6% faster than the RTX 5060 TI than the 1440p RTX 5060 TI and runs at 1440p, which is around $80 MSRP cheaper. However, these tests will RX The 9060 XT 16GB is compared to the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, rather than the RTX 5060 16GB. Performance on the RX 9060 8GB model is a bigger problem, as smaller VRAM can cause a significant performance drop.
On Frank Azor, the lead architect of AMD’s gaming solutions and game marketing, explained on Twitter, most players use a 1080p display, with 8GB of VRAM enough. While technically correct, it doesn't relieve the concerns that people are confused about consumers who may see the above comparison of the RX 9060 XT 16GB, while the 6% performance boost for the RTX 5060 TI 8GB, assuming that it applies to all RX 9060 XT model. Likewise, actual performance may vary among the various SKUs launched on June 5, which may further exacerbate the problem.
Most gamers still play games at 1080p, which is useless for 8GB of memory. Most of the games are mainly esports games. Without a market, we wouldn't build it. If 8GB isn't for you, there's 16GB. The same GPU, no tradeoffs, only memory…

Where to find AMD RX 9060 XT
Aside from these potential issues and unresolved issues, the RX 9060 XT still looks like someone who has invested in AMD hardware is a reliable entry-level option. As mentioned above, multiple manufacturers have launched RX 9060 XT GPUs starting June 5, and while no pre-orders are listed at this time, you can learn more about it from Asus,,,,, Macroand Gigabytesonline stores in each company. Other brands such as PowerColor also showcased the upcoming RX 9060 XT GPU in the Computex 2025 showroom. We will definitely update this post once the GPU is available.
