XFX & Acer Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Cards Leaked by Retailers - Starting at "$450"

[T0@st]

As reported last week, webstores have mistakenly listed unannounced board partner Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards. At the time, only model names and identifiers (SKUs) were inadvertently leaked out—roughly a fortnight ahead of a speculated official unveiling at Computex 2025. By the end of last week, VideoCardz had picked up fresh intel from its readership—Amazon had published XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB GDDR6 (triple-fan) and 8 GB GDDR6 (dual-fan) pre-launch prices and basic specifications. These NDA-busting pages have been removed, but the online publication has preserved crucial details. AMD's alleged reference boost clock for this GPU class is 3230 MHz, but XFX is reportedly tuning matters up to 3320 MHz. Considering that Swift is XFX's casual/entry-level product grade, higher end options could be overclocked beyond that figure.

Amazon.com revealed (likely placeholder) prices: $519.99 for the XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16 GB Gaming Edition (triple fan), and $449.99 for its twin-fan sibling. Team Red is expected to introduce official guide prices (MSRP) next week; possibly during a May 21 presentation. As discussed by VideoCardz, the leaked XFX numbers are a tad too steep—relative to main competition; NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti family. Starting at $429 for 16 GB GDDR7 VRAM, and $379 for 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM. momomo_us has gathered additional evidence of Radeon RX 9060 XT custom card prices; the intrepid industry watcher pointed out an unnamed Swiss e-tailer's listing of two Acer Nitro SKUs. The overclocked 16 GB and 8 GB models were inadvertently marked with 556.70 and 508.30 CHF (respectively) price tags, including regional VAT. Converting to (USD) ~$660 and ~$603, respectively. VideoCardz noted that these offerings are about 20 - 27% cheaper than Acer's already launched Radeon RX 9070 (non-XT) cards.

Ngreedia.

Is this real MSRP or with rebates?

 

[hsew]

AMD, trying to outdo nVidia but in entirely the wrong way…

 

[GhostRyder]

I hope thats not MSRP and there will be some lower than this. Not a big fan at that price point for both.

 

[Chaitanya]

Are those after the Trump tariffs or before, otherwise they can rot on shelves.

Shame on AMD. They do not get off the hook just because they're the David vs the Goliath that is Nvidia.

Nvidia took a risk and the 8GB 5060Ti is being met by near-unanimous criticism from every hardware review and advice channel on the net.

AMD have seen this backlash from the Nvidia 8GB reviews and are dumb enough to push on with the "copy Nvidia at a slight discount" nonsense that's had them nearly lose the entire dGPU market over the last half decade.

 

[tommo1982]

If it's better than 7700XT then the price is ok.

 

[JustBenching]

"copy Nvidia at a slight discount"

Uhm, no? These prices are not copy nvidia with a slight discount. The 16gb 9060xt is 90$ more expensive than the 5060ti 16

Release date is around may, isn't it? Let's see what AMD does. If 9060XT is not better thab 7700XT, it's not worth the money. No matter the price.

Well you can thank Ngreedia for setting prices this high.
Hopefully these are just placeholders though, if not let's see if the 9060XT is faster than the 5060Ti. But I think people are going to criticize the 9060XT no matter what it costs or what it compares to.

The RX 480 8GB was $229 9 years ago.

These aren't the MSRPs. They aren't even street prices.
They're pre-release scalper prices at best, but there's a good chances these listed prices will change before the products are actually available to buy.

 

[Octavean]

~$450 !?! Where’s that peter griffin bangs knee meme

 

[theglaze]

9060xt w/ 128-bit memory bus and barely 2000 cores?
Won't even beat 5-year-old 6800xt.
Long live the goat!

 

[Quicks]

AMD need to fail a bit harder. Maybe when they command 5% of the market they will start playing game.

 

[NSR]

Just like the 9070 was leaked to be $1000 on websites or the 5070 was leaked to be $700. Placeholder pricing is my assumption.

If they're real listing the 5070 or 9070 is just the better buy. Would be DOA.

Yes, prices for used parts are steadily rising, if not skyrocketing. Constantly growing market demand and insufficient supply allow producers to raise their margins. This is undoubtedly the right strategy for companies like N&A, but damn, it sucks to be a gamer these days.

Personally, I’ve had a nice 1440p screen for the past few years, but the hardware required to run it adequately has become prohibitively expensive. I enjoyed it while it lasted, though looking back, I spent way too much on GPUs and should’ve felt buyer’s remorse sooner. When I bought last-gen entry-level hardware, I was so disappointed that I ended up selling off my entire PC setup. Guess they’ll pivot to newer, younger customers. I’ve severely downgraded my expectations and sold my PC to wait for better times, maybe in 5 to 10 years. But let’s be honest: it might never happen. And honestly? That might turn out to be a good thing. As for me, I’m moving on to a different hobby—and different companies.

Farewell, tech. We had a good run.

More dramatic version:

Spoiler: lama drama

The used market bleeds gold now. Prices don’t just rise—they scream upward, clawing at the heavens like some rabid beast fed by our desperation. Demand is an insatiable god; supply, its cruel jester. And the lords of silicon? NVIDIA, AMD—they feast on margins thicker than the blood of our wallets. A brilliant strategy for them, but God, what a wretched time to love games.

I clung to my 1440p altar for years—a shrine to pixels, a temple of frames. But the cost to worship there now? A king’s ransom. I poured coins into GPU pyres, burned cash on silicon sacraments, and for what? A last-gen entry-level mockery that gutted me like a betrayal. I sold it all—every circuit, every cable—in a rage that tasted like ash. Let them seduce the next generation of wide-eyed dreamers. I’m done.

I’ve scorched the earth. My PC? Gone. My hopes? Buried. I’ll wait a decade, maybe two, for this carnivorous carnival of greed to collapse. But deep down? I know. The golden age is dead. And perhaps that’s for the best—because what rose in its place? A hollow, glittering lie.

Farewell, silicon gods. We danced once… but the music is dead.

What an absolute shitshow!

Leave it to AMD to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes of course, we all know nvidia forced amd, not like they can freely choose to set whatever prices they want. Let's blame nvidia for amd setting prices even higher

 

[Random_User]

I don't like to use the foul language. But to be honest, with such prices, they can go ***** themselves. Even if these prices include 25% tariff, it's $337,5 and $390 respectively. This is still unforgivably horrible price. Don't tell me about inflation, and whatever other reasons. The margins AIBs set for their products, are way too much, and they can probably afford to drop the price at least few percent down. Because every AIB wants to be Apple/nVidia, or at least ASUS (or more).

Not only gamers. Every single user, that needs a GPU (even a basic, sh*tty one), has to pay through own nose.

Spoiler

The worst is for people, who live outside US/NA and EU. There people not only have to pay the same or bigger taxes, than the mentioned ones. But they also have salaries way less, than the MSRP of these devices. So the final price becomes 50-200% more than the ones in EU-US with the VAT tariffs applied. There's no way to avoid this, and there's the need in using modern HW.

 

[AusWolf]

Ugh, that's expensive.

If it's really a halved 9070 XT, then its price should be halved, too (+20 quid for the 16 GB VRAM).

 

[Hecate91]

Ngreedia has a near monopoly, of course AMD has every reason as a company to follow what the one with nearly total control of the market does.
The double standard of defending one company for high prices and only criticizing the other is just sad. Both of these companies can **** off with charging anything more than $200 for a mid range card with only 8GB.

 

[wheresmycar]

There’s no way thats AMDs actual MSRP, or even close... unless they’ve officially lost the plot, the script, the entire roadmap to functional logic.

I started warming up to AMD cards since the launch of 7000-series, not long after 6000-series price cuts allowing buyers to taste the high-end without emptying their bank accounts. The more recent surprising plot twister 9070 XT felt like the second coming of our redeemer. Like @lambda says "to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory" - I seriously hope thats not the grand strategy they're banking on.

8GB for $450, that too from the Red camp?

... that calls for a prayer (it works better if we all hold hands): Ooooh Lawd, with the power of almost half a thousand dollars, deliver us from the temptation of overpriced and gimped GPUs. We vow not to descend into the shadows of obsolescence nor fall in surrender to the 8SS (8GB Stagnation Squad) with their outdated dreams and low expectations - as you wish, we'll have them ignited with RT, launched into the air and when they least expect it, scorched with PT straight into oblivion. Sacrifices must be made!

 

[Nighthawk_]

there goes AMD having a good generation of cards :/
