ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Prime OC 16 GB

[W1zzard]

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT launches at a highly competitive $350 MSRP, which is much lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, yet the card offers similar performance. Thanks to the dual BIOS feature, noise levels of the ASUS Prime are incredible: whisper quiet!

If only these can remain in stock.

The last of Us chart doesn't have the 9060XT in it

This sure is a one of the GPUs of all time. I guess it being a slightly worse, but decently cheaper 5060Ti 16Gb without DLSS4 featurers is... kind of an okay value proposition? I suppose? The 8 gig version is still pointless though.

Not bad now only need to keep MSRP

Fixed, it kept crashing, added a note about that

50% performance between 9070 and 9060XT is unacceptable, this card should have been born with at least 40CUs, the price is good, but AMD is leaving a whole range uncovered, the 5070, and it's a range where many cards are sold... Really inconceivable.

No AI tests?

 

[Darkholm]

DOA. Way weaker than expected.

 

[outlw6669]

Looks like a decent card... assuming it stays stocked at close to MSRP.
If actual retail pricing ends up matching the RTX 5060Ti 16GB, it is going to be a tough sell.
Hopefully AMD bites the bullet and pushes out as many as they can, at next to no margins, just to gain market- and mind-share.

 

[user-009]

wizzard can you please also add minimum power limit in upcoming reviews? next to the maximum

 

[gridracedriver]

DOA. Way weaker than expected.

what?

There's a 9070 GRE. Might be coming soon to the west

only looks like good value when put next to the 5060 ti

AMD & Nvidia has really become masters in deception and poor value for people that don't want to, or can't spend a fortune on new GPU's.

It's just yet another Absent Meaning Device.

It doesn't change anything globally. Yes, slightly better value in some cases... But nothing spectacular. Colour me "I said so."

 

[Red Hood]

Decent mainstream performance if available for $350

 

[MJSunKiter]

@W1zzard: There seems to be a computational error on the Minimum FPS page. For example, RTX 3070 shows faster when comparing FPS, but slower when comparing relative performance. Will check if that extends to other pages / cards.

EDIT: This extends to the Average / Relative pages too. Problem with calculating relative performance?

 

[thevoiceofreason]

22% faster than a 3060 Ti at 1440p. Power draw a bit lower, but it doesn't feel like a compelling upgrade.

 

[tvshacker]

I don't know if it's accidental or a lucky "cocktail"of games, but the average fps of the 6800XT being 2% lower than the 7800XT in 2025 feels a bit odd.

 

[Kwadratowicz]

The cooling look ridiculous with that big chunk of radiator connected to small plate, and still the vram is little colder than in 9070 xt with that big heatsink -.-

 

[vacsati]

Weak card, but it is cheap at least.
This price range often used for esport rigs, but compared to the greens, the performance is horribly bad in a popular title like Counter Strike.

The 5060ti 16 gb worth that extra money or even the 8gb version is better choice, since at 1080p, the 8gb will be almost always enough.

Overall, its not a bad card, but not great either. Cheaper than the counterpart, because weaker too.

 

[Hecate91]

Decent enough performance while being cheaper than a 5060Ti, but it needs to sell at MSRP.

I think it would've been better for AMD to skip a 16GB 9060XT and sell the 9070GRE instead.

 

[dirtyferret]

oh boy, how exciting
16Gb and a weak chip delivers not only poor performance but over priced as well but hey at least those 16Gb will future proof you...

TLOU crashing is probably responsible for that
