ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Graphics Card Lineup Revealed: TUF Gaming, Prime, and Dual

[T0@st]

Whether you're building a new PC or bringing your battle-tested rig into the future, you'll want graphics power to keep up with the latest games. That's why we're giving you choices galore with our new AMD-powered Radeon RX 9060 XT (16 GB and 8 GB) graphics cards from TUF Gaming, Prime, and ASUS Dual. You have four distinct options, ensuring there's a Radeon RX 9060 XT that's perfect for your unique rig.

Get ready for next-gen features and designs
All these next-gen graphics cards come packed with RDNA 4 architecture and FSR 4 support. These technologies mean you'll get AMD's latest upscaling solution, granting you incredible high-resolution visuals and impressive system performance to boot. And you'll have the output options you need to enjoy high-res games at jaw-dropping framerates, because all ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards pack DisplayPort 2.1a technology. DP 2.1a provides the bandwidth necessary to see your PC's glorious performance accurately displayed on your monitor. All four of our Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards come with two DisplayPort 2.1a ports and one HDMI 2.1b port.




Our Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards only occupy 2.5 slots of space and they're relatively short, not exceeding 304 mm in length, meaning they're ready to power your small form factor (SFF) PC. So, if you have a tiny machine you're looking to transform into a capable gaming rig, any of these cards will fit the bill. Each of these cards also packs our latest and greatest hardware. This includes dual ball fan bearings that last up to twice as long as conventional designs. You'll also get Axial-tech fans that use long blades to push more air through your card, giving you cooler temperatures, less noise, and better performance.

Speaking of less noise: when you're performing light workloads, the fans shut off completely for silent computing. And these cards feature a Dual BIOS switch as well, so whether you need your rig hard-locked for maximum gaming power or geared toward quiet operation, a quick PC restart will have your machine running the way you want.

TUF Gaming packs the power and resilience to handle all your favorites
The TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB OC Edition graphics card isn't messing around. With a hefty 16 GB of VRAM, it's ready to produce gorgeous high-res visuals. You'll have the video memory you need to enjoy the games of today—and tomorrow—without issue.



As a TUF Gaming card, it packs military-grade components to ensure stable power delivery and a long lifespan. Plus, we give the card a PCB coating to protect it from short circuiting caused by moisture, dust, and debris. These cards also get our Auto-Extreme manufacturing treatment, giving them enhanced strength for long-term durability. And as one more preventative measure, we employ ASUS GPU Guard technology to prevent GPU crack damage. The TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB features an industrial, rugged aesthetic that reminds you it's built to last. It also packs a hint of Aura Sync-compatible RGB lighting for when you want a glowing accent inside your rig.

Two accessible Prime options, twice the versatility
When you want capable performance without breaking the bank, ASUS Prime is an easy go-to solution. And we're offering two Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT models so that you can pick the best value for your needs.



The Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB OC Edition is a great for those who want an easy entry point into PC gaming. And the Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB OC Edition is optimal for those who want to game at higher resolutions or play titles with heftier VRAM requirements. Extra VRAM is also a boon for content creators who need a graphics card capable of speedy 3D rendering.

These Prime cards share a lot in common with their TUF Gaming and ASUS Dual brethren, including efficient Axial-tech fans, a convenient 2.5-slot design, and Dual BIOS support for easily switching your fan modes. But our Prime offerings diverge in their unique visual styling. If you want a distinctly modern aesthetic that emphasizes curves, Prime graphics cards are the way to go.

ASUS Dual comes in clutch for the tiniest builds
The ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB graphics card is our tiniest solution for those who want to cram AMD's latest into a truly small PC. Its compact dual-fan and shorter 202 mm overall length means that it'll nestle in comfortably in cases where other graphics cards won't fit.



Don't be fooled by its size, though. Our Dual offering sports Axial-tech fans for incredible airflow, 0dB technology for silent operation under light loads, and Dual BIOS support so you can prioritize performance or silence with a flip of a switch (and a quick system restart). The Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB sports a striking black-and-white color scheme. We pair that contrast with golden-era sci-fi accents to produce a truly bold retro-futuristic aesthetic. When you want an incredibly compact, SFF-friendly graphics card with unrivaled style, you go Dual.

Power your Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card with a quality PSU
When building a gaming PC, you need a power supply unit that's ready to amp up your graphics card, handle your overclocking preferences, and support your peripheral lineup. That's why we offer recommendations for PSUs that'll pair perfectly with your Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card, give you some headroom, and deliver stable power for years to come.



For our Prime and ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, the ASUS Prime 750 W Gold PSU is an ideal choice. It meshes well with all three cards' aesthetics and will give them the power they need for peak performance. Featuring 80 Plus Gold certification, dual ball fan bearings, and other premium components designed for premium power delivery, the Prime 750 W Gold PSU is the real deal. We stand by that claim with an 8-year warranty, guaranteeing you many years of optimal operation.



When gaming with a TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB OC Edition, we recommend the TUF Gaming 750 W Gold PSU. Its high durability standards and military-grade certifications ensure it'll keep up with the rugged, enduring power of a TUF Gaming graphics card. The TUF Gaming 750 W Gold PSU sports a 10-year warranty as our personal guarantee that you'll get long-lasting excellence from this power supply no matter how hard you game.

If MSRP meant anything, this has RX 480 vibe. At 350 bucks for 16GB version with feature sets offered by RDNA4, if AMD doesn't screw up the launch, it'll sell like hotcakes. Feels like no one seems to care about RTX 5060 much.

Well, the 7600xt had 16gb of vram at a lower msrp (329, right?), did it sell like hotcakes?

Did RX 7600 XT have highly improved RT, highly improved FSR. It wasn't even particularly great in raster iirc. It's already significantly better and AMD is apparently working on further improvements on ray tracing as well as FSR. If they can also put some machine learning magic into AFMF I'm gonna go crazy.

Rt and upscaling are gimmicky, raster was okayish.

I dont know, im predicting this will be a little worse than nvidia for a little bit less money. Same old story kinda. If this what focusing on the midrange looks like for amd i wish they never did, just go back to competing in the high end please.

The problem with the 7600XT is it was slower than the 4060 which was already a bad product and had terrible upscaling and poor RT the trifecta on things most don't want in a card.

This seems like it will be no different only jumping up one tier with comparable performance to the 5060ti which isn't a good card for slightly less money but double the memory. If it holds it's MSRP which I doubt it will it likely will end up the default option for most is my guess the 9070XT is doing pretty well at 800 usd on newegg so i could see this creeping up to 400-430$ if the marketing slides end up being true.

Well, since both the 9060xt and the 5060ti are half a 9070xt / 5070ti respectively - we know roundabout where they will land. The 5060ti will be a bit faster, the 9060xt will be a bit cheaper.

Its become kinda boring, looks to me like they both shook hands, that's how identical their products are.

 

[theglaze]

Worst case it's what...a 200W card? If you buy an XT OC model with higher power-limits and use Adrenalin to juice it up?
Should be single design for all models. 2 slot and 2 fans, pass the savings on to the customer.
Instead, frivolous marketing and overkill coolers, and the customer pays for every step along the way.
And some customers will be suckered into the pointless 8GB model.

People are basically going to pick better Upscaling support vs double the vram and honestly it's kinda sad when those are the biggest differences in this class of card especially when the 5060ti isn't very good in the first place.

 

[HisDivineOrder]

How long do you think the AIB rebate is going to be active this time? An hour? A day? A week? What's the real MSRP after the launch day MSRP ends?

Its lame, but how many pc owners are running Quad displays on a low-mid gaming card?

16GB card should be decent if it stays close to msrp.

quad on low-mid card..................well you have to since you cant run 3 or 4 monitors on integrated

Who runs 3 screens with 2 on DP and 1 on hdmi........If I want to run 3 screens they all better be DP, if my old RX480 had 3 DP it's sad this card doesn't.............unless it's only an Asus thing?

-Different vibe this gen, Nvidia launched to poor reviews and AMD launched to positive reviews, and since launch reviews ultimately set the tone for a Gen, AMD is in the pole position for this one.

Even post launch NV kept having weird issues.

Part of the reason 9070xt is going for the same price as the 5070ti, it's got good vibes behind it even when it's lost it's value proposition.

Whole ecosystem feels different too. Nvidia receding from the consumer market, letting old inventory dry up before launching new cards, not supplying new gen, Tarrifs, bad economic vibes, etc. People are desperate for anything that smacks of a good deal. Hell people still talk about B580s like they're even remotely relevant at this point.

More gpp nonsense, where's the Republic of Gamers versions of RX 9000?

I can't wait for the Hardware Unboxed et al review of the 8GB 9060XT telling us how "AMD is holding back gaming!!1!".

There surely will be one, right? Right?

wow, horrible boring designs

everyone is turning to amd to save the market. pushing them high on a pedestal only because of issues with nvidia, but they dont seem to be delivering .$350 for a 1080 card....cmon now.

Nvidia launched to poor reviews and AMD launched to positive reviews

people had some issues but they were cleaning up with crazy prices. its not that amd is so great that they pushed amd, but were tired of nvidias behavior that they pushed amd. nvidia having 90% market share and it may only get worse so to stop that, they preached how great amd is to counter nvidia.

9070/60 xt arent amazing performers for the pretty high prices. theyre "ok" but the agenda is push amd to counter nvidia.

I buy amd cpus because I hate intel. but I wouldnt buy amd gpu till I saw another gen of them really getting things sorted. nvidia made mistakes in this gen. theyre not even trying and selling out and next gen will be the same.

good video showing timeline of sales. you can see that there were times when amd simply didnt release anything when nvidia flooded with tons of cards. they were asleep. 2016 2017 they had nothing

 

[Hecate91]

Asus hasn't made an ROG Radeon card since the RX 6000 series, and the Republic of Gamers branding tier is in a weird spot, as they're trying to move it away from being premium for the Astral tier.
At least they aren't as bad as MSI, ditching Radeon altogether to make dozens of mediocre geforce designs.

I disagree, we need more simple 2 fan cards, mid range cards don't need to have massive 3 fan coolers with RGB.
But I don't see how AMD is being put on a pedestal, or how there is an agenda to promote AMD cards. Nvidia has just screwed up that badly, bad drivers, missing ROPs, a power connector which is still melting, prices too high, and now they're threatening reviewers unless they hype up DLSS and MFG and only compare cards without those features. Nvidia has clearly shown they don't care about the gaming market to the point they want to get rid of unbiased reviews altogether, and only want sponsored marketing fluff to promote their cards.
The 9070 and 9070XT delivered what people wanted, a powerful GPU with sufficient VRAM, competitive features, at a lower price than the competition, and people are still buying them at the retailer inflated prices.
I buy what I prefer and haven't had any issues with AMD gpu's, marketshare is just a marketing point, Nvidia wins on marketshare because they have more influencers telling people to buy Nvidia like there isn't any other option. AMD cards and their software has been fine for the past few generations, and their drivers being bad is an outdated argument.

Amd has become "slightly less performance than nvidia for slightly less money". Its become boring and they solely exist just to sell gpus to people that will buy them regardless because they dont want to buy nvidia.

its not really a bargain. less performance for less money. ok, nothing new there. give me better then class performance for less money and people would flock easily to amd.

had they priced the 9070xt for $500, theyd corner the market but ad other factors like RT and driver issues and im not really tempted to go amd

those influencers tried real hard to sell this gen but they themselves know its like pulling a rabbit out of their asses. theres nothing wow about these. price or performace. its regular class gpus

-There is a lot of salt here. These are video cards, not your first born child, take the emotion and conspiracy theory out of it.

The question was "Why do we think the 9060xt will be a hit when the 7600xt wasn't". Ofc Nvidia is going to sell more cards in the same category, they make more cards, they have a larger distro channel across the world, and they have a ton of brand recognition that isn't going away overnight.

But to be a hit (which has some loosely defined criteria), the 9060xt simply has to do better than expectations, which we're set by the 7600xt, which the 9060xt is set to far surpass.

 

[Hecate91]

Amd had become "slightly less performance than nvidia for slightly less money". Its become boring and they solely exist just to sell gpus to people that will buy them regardless because they dont want to buy nvidia.

Better than being marginally more performance for a lot more money. The whole GPU market has become very unexciting as Nvidia has caused everyone else to raise prices while pushing upscaling and fake frames instead of real performance gains. The people buying AMD gpu's now are buying them because they are a better value, not because they don't want to buy Nvidia, AMD doesn't have the 90% of the market buying on marketing that will buy their cards regardless of missing hardware,defective connectors, or bad drivers.

Man your posts have become more boring than amds gpus. Nvidia just dropped the best perf / $ gpu the world had ever seen and you keep on going like a broken record.

Yes we know, Nvidia forced amd to raise prices. We got it. This makes sense in your brain. Sure.

RT is not gimmicky anymore. More and more games REQUIRE support for RT and needs to be somewhat fast to not hinder the performance which RDNA4 absolutely delivers. RDNA3 works and supports it, but it's so so. Latest Indiana Jones requires RT and so does Doom The Dark Ages. I've not played Indy yet, but Doom, my god it looks good and still runs insanely fast because they really optimized the engine well.

its not really a bargain. less performance for less money. ok, nothing new there. give me better then class performance for less money and people would flock easily to amd.

I had intention to skip all of it and just stick with RTX 3080, but said f**k it and bought RX 9070 XT. If "I'm just gonna wait" was valid for RX 5000, 6000 and 7000 series, that doesn't quite apply to 9000 series anymore. Significantly improved ray tracing to a point it's really not an issue unless game is so badly written it only runs good on GeForce. Significantly improved FSR4 which really looks absolutely amazing even on Balanced which I never used with FSR 2.2 or 3.1 because it looked like ass with that preset. AMD was greatly lacking in these two departments and they really upped the whole thing. RX 9000 also supports improved video encoding as well as full AV1 support which is nice.

Where AMD actually really shines is the software, ironically. For how new RX 9070 XT is, I've not had any issues with anything. All games I've played just worked. I've not used Radeon since HD7950 so I only read about all the issues people had with RX 5000/6000/7000 series. I've not had any of those issues with RX 9070 XT. The part that really impressed me software wise was how feature rich Radeon software is compared to NVIDIA Control Panel or newer NVIDIA App. NVIDIA Control Panel was horrid back in 2006 and it's still horrid today. NVIDIA App on the other hand fixes some of the issues, but actually lacks features compared to old panel.

Like forcing FXAA is just entirely gone now which is stupid. AMD offers forcing MLAA which is useful for older games if needed.

Overclocking tool in NVIDIA App is sooooooooo dumb. It's automatic, takes about 1 hour to do. If anything at any point goes wrong, it's another 1 hour ordeal. You've cleaned the driver? Tough bud, 1 hour OC. Sure it's "noob" friendly, but so stupid. AMD offers you full control for GPU, memory, power target and fans, including exporting and importing profiles. So so cool and allows me to not require MSI Afterburner.

Next thing is the in-game Overlay. I can invoke FULL Radeon control panel from within a game. Overclocing, image quality, special features, I don't have to leave the game at all to do it. NVIDIA App doesn't have that and only offers few visual tweaks as part of the shaders thing.

My favorite features are actually Radeon Chill and AFMF. Radeon Chill because it DRAMATICALLY lowers power consumption while not compromising gameplay. I play all game with Radeon Chill now with range between 100-240 fps (on 240Hz monitor) with included AFMF. We're talking sub 200W power draw while playing ray traced games on max settings at crazy smooth framerates. It's insane how smooth it is, I can't perceive the changes in framerate because it's so seamlessly changing during gameplay and AFMF is filling the visual gap at the bottom 100 which is effectively still 200fps smoothness wise (Overwatch 2 drove me crazy with its 60fps main menu, with AFMF it's 120 fps and it's so smooth on the mouse). And of course AFMF, by no means perfect as it has some artifacting on HUD elements, but it just works in all games and together with Radeon Chill it's all buttery smooth while consuming so little power. Slight artifacting stops bothering me after 5 minutes.

When you combine all the things, Radeon is just whole different, so much better experience than I ever had with GeForce. RTX 3080 was good, but this is just so much better and it's almost entirely because of software side of things and not as much hardware itself. It's so good it'll be incredibly hard to go back to NVIDIA for me no matter how much framegen and DLSS they throw around and how amazing their RT is. The fact it has no Radeon Chill like feature is suddenly an issue for me and lacking agnostic AFMF and requiring games to specifically have framegen built-in means I'm entirely at mercy of game devs and NVIDIA. Here, AMD is like "here's the shit, it works great in 95% of cases and works in any game". I like that. And AMD is planning on software upgrades to RT and FSR4 to make them even better so it's really great times ahead and I hope they'll do some "Ai" magic on AFMF too. Version 2.1 is already really good, I can only imagine how good AFMF 2.5 or 3.x might be...

I have few followers on my blog and that's it, so I can hardly be called influencer, but I can't praise enough RX 9070 XT. It's SO good. Could it be priced lower? Sure. But I'm not mad on what I got for the price.

no consipracy if youre a blind person and cant see or arent aware of YT "incluencers"

if you dont like emotion, get off the internet.

well see, alot of hype though. this wont impact nvidias market share. amd didnt do enough. with all the hype and fluff listing them on a pedestal. I doubt this gen will do anything to bring them a substantail market share.

bottom line...this card or that card makes no difference...in a year or 2 when sales stabalize, will it make a difference to amd market share? I doubt it will do anything to change nvidias 90% market share. maybe a few percent at best, if any.
