AMD Announces Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Card, Claims "Fastest Under $350"

[btarunr]

AMD at Computex 2025 announced the new Radeon RX 9060 XT mid-range graphics card. The card is designed to offer maxed out gaming at 1080p, with ray tracing enabled, and lets you take advantage of new features such as FSR 4 and the upcoming FSR "Project Redstone" feature-set. The card comes in two variants, the RX 9060 XT 16 GB, priced at $350, and the RX 9060 XT 8 GB, priced at $300. Both models are based on the 4 nm "Navi 44" silicon, which they both max out in terms of on-die components. The GPU is based on the RDNA 4 graphics architecture, and comes with 32 CU (compute units), which works out to 2,048 stream processors, 64 AI accelerators, 32 RT accelerators, 128 TMUs, and possibly 64 ROPs. The chip features a 128-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, the company didn't reveal memory speeds. Both models come with a total board power value of 180 W. The company claims that the RX 9060 XT 16 GB offers up to 821 peak AI TOPS (INT4).

AMD also put out some first party performance claims. The company claims that the RX 9060 XT 16 GB, should beat the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB by 6% on average, tested across 40 game titles, at 1440p. The RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB has an MSRP of $380, making the RX 9060 XT 16 GB cheaper by $30, and as a result, have a 15% performance-per-Dollar edge. The company did not put out any performance claims for the RX 9060 XT 8 GB model. Given that NVIDIA is not developing a 16 GB model of the new RTX 5060 (non-Ti), and its $300 price, things could get interesting for AMD, especially if its claim that the RX 9060 XT 16 GB will be the fastest current-gen GPU under $350 holds. Both the 16 GB and 8 GB variants of the Radeon RX 9060 XT should be available on June 5, 2025.

Now it just has to stay below 400...one can dream.

 

[Todestrieb]

Now if only the term MSRP actually means something...

Also, finally a new card, 9060-non-XT, that supposedly costs <= USD250?
* I know it is not mentioned. It is only a guesstimation. But I might want that for a secondary build.

 

[Blue4130]

Did nobody double check that performance graph slide? Pretty amateur that they let that be presented in an unreadable way.

*edit* looking at other sources, it appears fine. @btarunr , can you fix the image?

I was at least expecting it to say $349.99 but it's not even under ha.

 

[Chaitanya]

Street pricing needs to hold else its another damp squid with 8GB model being culled.

 

[LabRat 891]

I betchya the RX 9060 XT 8GB will become like the RX480/RX580 4GB.
Useful for a time, then no one will care about 'em.

Given that the 5060 (Ti) is nearly DoA, I'd expect these to become decently prolific.
IMO, If supply can be maintained and prices kept reasonable, we'll probably be seeing the 16GB variants sticking around for a surprisingly long time, too.

 

[GodisanAtheist]

This is a pleasant turn of events.

16GB is probably going to see it's MSRP inflate to the $400+ region, but 8GB will probably hold at $300 if the 5060 is any indication.

 

[ymdhis]

I'm more curious about the 9060 non-xt, since the 7600s were very nice low power cards (2-4W idle...). But unfortunately they only had so few models.

 

[Zazigalka]

Now it just has to stay below 400...one can dream.

yeah, all msrp is fake these days. I've been waiting for a msrp 9070xt for months to replace 4070 Super, still 750eur for the cheapest one powercolor reaper, which I don't even want.

The two 8GB models from Nvidia are sticking to msrp....

Let's be real though if they are even slightly better than the 4060/60ti 8GB retailers will scalp them....

Agreed. If the performance claims they claim are true it would be in-between 7700XT and 6800XT in terms of performance. That level of performance + 16GB it's probably closer to $400 in real world pricing.

 

[AusWolf]

The 16 GB version for $350 is not too bad if it actually sells at that price.

The 8 GB version for $300... well... those of you who frequented our recent 5060 (Ti) 8 GB threads know what I've got to say, so I'm not gonna waste my breath.

 

[arbiter]

6% faster in 40 games? Yea huh when i hear that makes me thing its dead even or its slower in most those 40 except a few where its built for their card gives them a small lead. Lets see what independent tests show us.

Edit: as i look at 2nd images that shows the %, i see the AMD deception. They compared 5060ti 8gb card vs 9060XT 16gb using 1440p ultra. So yea.................. you aren't running 1440p ultra if you buy an 8gb card least if you have slightest bit of sense you wouldn't.

It's not really a secret, this product is exactly 50% of an RX 9070 XT at every level. It should perform accordingly.

Its sad but AMD PR department i think created another crap storm. If only claiming 6% in 40 games and you had to compare to a 8gb card using 1440p ultra which would run 8gb outta memory to cripple its performance. I get feeling some bad news will come when 3rd party reviews come out.

Nonsense.
TPU has many game benchmarks. I recommend you study them, look at the VRAM usage and for example 4060Ti 8GB vs 16Gb performance. A quick look at Black Ops 6 (10gb+ of VRAM usage at 1440p ultra) and the cards were tied. In you world this wouldn't happen.

When do they not? It's almost as if it's AMD PR's specialty to create a crap storm

 

[720p low]

I thought I saw an AMD marketing slide somewhere, as well as some chatter on other tech websites, that states that both variants are using a PCIe 5.0 x 16 interface. The TPU database is claiming PCIe 5.0 x 8. Any official confirmation of which one is for real?

It's x16.

for image that has game names messed up.

Nice. In that case, look for me standing outside the door at Micro Center at 10:00am on June 5th like a true nerd. (Hopefully all by myself.) I'll be wearing a red & white sun dress. Also, be advised that I'll be armed, and not carrying cash.

 

[Macro Device]

I'll be armed

Didn't know RDNA4 is ARM-compliant.

 

[rlifeh]

Don't trust the liars, that MSRP for get good reviews, then they will increase it a lot
