ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Prime OC 16 GB

HL2 came bundled with ATi cards and in DX9 even the slowest ATi card was faster than the fastest FX series card. But people bought the FX.

Wow, wasn't expecting so many responses from the one post. It's great to hear everybody's different ideas/thoughts about upgrading.

Keep em coming!

If my 4090 died I would send it out for repair. If it wasn’t reparable I’d have to get a 5090. At this point in my life I’m not settling for a downgrade.

 

[Thunderslat]

Are you kidding with that?

Not at all. The FX series was garbage at DX9. Might want to check your bias at the door.

I said the FX series, not the 6000 series. Way to lie about facts.

I asked this on the Nitro thread, but it's 15 pages of likely fighting right now so I ain't reading. So if someone can tell me, I'm grateful: Did AMD provide reviewers with 8 GB samples and are there any reviews planned? There are only 9060 XT 16 GB reviews on TPU today. Thanks

See, this is reacting with ego instead of debating the merits. This is how you know you've lost the debate. Instead of pointing out facts that support your position, you've just lashed out with an insult.

The benchmarks prove this card is solid and good step forward for AMD and the gaming public. You can't refute that. Therefore your opinion is meritless.

You started this and now saying I'm the one with insults. Daft and silly was your words. Clearly something wrong with your head as well, maybe have it examined. Are you not the one that also said 8GB cards is more than enough for 2025 if I remember correctly?

Anyways not going to waste my time trying to convince you, you are wrong because I will just be wasting my time.

Cheers!

Then play the game in dx8?

This is a good question. @W1zzard, are there any 8GB card reviews in the pipeline? Maybe the 9060? (Sorry W1z, not meaning to bug you with all the questions.)

No. HUB said that AMD was willing to sent to whoever asked, LTT said they didn't receive one and nobody had a launch 8gb review. So go figure

@lexluthermiester Laughing because you think I am making crap up, or because you were so wrong and didn't even bother to look into it before disputing it?

No, AMD did not provide 8GB cards.

Also, their embargo rules say you are not allowed to review 8GB cards on day 1, because AMD didn’t supply them. Even if a “partner” sent you an 8GB card you weren’t allowed to publish a launch day review.

And while it is a meh product they went out of their way to make it look worse than it is using settings even I would never use with it so AMD was rewarded with a review basically trashing the product lol.

The only thing I found interesting is how bad it performed on an 8700K based system.

Tells me just using a fast system then limiting the pcie bandwidth doesn't show the full picture using some of these cards on older pcie versions.

DirectX 8 looked like garbage. Just look at this page where in DX 9 the water looks like water and reflects. In DX8 it looks like crap.

That was NVidia, not AMD.

I can't believe people are arguing about gpus that are over 20 years old now... You all are acting like women trying to bring up old shit.

Soo, the same deal Nvidia was put to the cross for. But it's AMD so it's ok. Sad. I'm more interested on the cheaper model because I intend on putting it on a server with low demand - it's primarily for the video engine and maybe some very light graphics-related tasks. Maybe I should wait for the non XT

Right? It's silliness. I would have said "clucking hens" but whatever..

I've only seen the Adrenaline review I linked earlier on the 8GB version, and I stand by what I concluded from it: at its price point, it is a no-brainer versus the 5060 non-Ti (both at ~R$2600 at Kabum).

I couldn't tell from the Hub review he just spent 20m trashing it.


Would have been more informative comparing it to the 5060 at 1080p

Read Wizzard’s conclusions page. It is exactly what AMD did, I even quoted it upthread.

I do find it funny that the reviewer they did send a sample to spent the whole review trashing it.

Were I to compare against the 8GB Ti, it's still a good R$1500 cheaper here (yes, 5060Ti 8GB starting from R$4100, which is absolutely ludicrous). From a financial standpoint, also a no-brainer, even more than against the non-Ti.

I might have missed that. Didn't think AMD would stoop to such things. Seems they might be just as annoyed about things as NVidia.

Yeah the hub review is one of the most useless reviews I've ever watched I already know it's crap compared to the much more expensive 9060XT 16GB which looks like most models will settle over 400 usd but pitting it against the 8GB Nvidia cards at 1080p would be nice.


I typically like HUB reviews but they are so fixated on trashing 8GB that the review tells me almost nothing I dont already know.

What are you talking about? The 9060 XT 16GB, $350, is competing against the 16 GB 5060 ti which is a $425 GPU msrp, that is a 17% discount. The 9060 XT 8 GB. $300, competes against the 8 GB 5060 ti which is $375. That is a 20% discount.

MSRPs are worthless. I was looking at retail pricing in stores that had stock. If you believe that you can find a 9070XT for "$599" then yes, my statement is wrong and the 9060XT is also only "$350". Realistically, the 9060XT 16GB is only available at $419 right now, checking stock on Amazon US, TigerDirect, and Newegg.

I'll change my tune when $349 MSRP models that went out of stock INSTANTLY arrive back in stock. AMD do not get off the hook for their fake 9070XT MSRP that only existed for 3 specific SKUs in very limited quantities via rebates to the retailer on launch day only. Those $599 9070XTs still don't exist and likely never will before those three SKUs go EOL anyway.

I'm cynical because AMD have already been called out on these fake MSRPs this generation, with hard evidence about the rebate system in limited quantities for limited SKUs posted by official distributors in multiple regions worldwide. They're convicted felons when it comes to MSRP honesty, so I'm treating them as "guilty until proven innocent".

As of today, no 16GB variants at $349 are available, so their status is still "guilty".

Look at this way. The marketing people who were behind the fake MSRP, retailer rebate in limited quantities to intentionally manipulate review conclusions at launch - the EXACT same people are responsibe for the $349 MSRP this time. AMD's marketing department is reliable in one aspect, and one aspect alone: They can always be counted on to screw it up.

Because people think Nvidia was always on top. They usually are but I bring up a time when ATi was dominating and it is immediately said I was "kidding with that".

Right? It's silliness.

It's silliness because you were wrong. @JustBenching was wrong. Nvidia has a cult following these days, just like Apple. I say this as a previous owner of an 8800GT which had an amazing price/performance ratio and used it until it literally started to die.
