AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU Now Available In 8 GB & 16 GB Flavors, Starting at $299 To Rival NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Series

AMD has finally launched the Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card, now available in 8 GB ($299), and 16 GB ($349) variants for mainstream gamers.

AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU Is Now Available, Starting At $299 For 8 GB & $349 For 16 GB Models

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 series was confirmed when the company first introduced its RDNA 4 architecture at CES 2025. The lineup was meant to be positioned below the RX 9070 GPUs, and was stated to tackle NVIDIA's 60-class products, such as the RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060.

 

Today, AMD is finally launching the first product within the RX 9060 series family, the Radeon RX 9060 XT. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is designed to tackle the mainstream segment, where 80% of gaming audiences game at resolutions of 1440p or lower. The following are some links where you can purchase the new graphics card:

• XFX Swift RX 9060 XT 16 GB OC White - $419 (Amazon)
• Gigabyte Gaming RX 9060 XT 16 GB - $389 (Newegg)
• Gigabyte Gaming RX 9060 XT 16 GB - $389 (Amazon)
• XFX Swift RX 9060 XT 8 GB OC White - $369 (Amazon)
• XFX Swift RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $349 (Amazon)
• XFX Swift RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $349 (Newegg)
• ASRock Challenger RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $319 (Newegg)
• Sapphire PULSE RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $299 (Newegg)
• PowerColor Reaper RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $299 (Newegg)
• ASUS Dual RX 9060 XT 8 GB - $299 (Newegg)

Unlike the RX 9070 series, the lineup only features one SKU for now, but it will come in two memory configurations, as we will show in the detailed specs run-down below.

Starting with the specifications, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT will feature the RDNA 4-based Navi 44 GPU. This is a smaller chip versus the Navi 48 used on the 9070 series and is designed to be cost-effective, providing mainstream gamers with a product that offers great gaming value. The chip itself features 32 Compute Units or 2048 cores, 32 RT accelerators, and 64 AI accelerators.

With the Radeon RX 9060 XT, AMD is leveraging the TSMC 4nm process technology and dialing up the clock speeds to 11. The chip features a boost clock of up to 3.13 GHz, making it the first GPU to have such a high frequency out of the box. We can expect custom models to operate around 3.2-3.3 GHz. The GPU also features a TBP of 150 to 182W, which is respective to the VRAM featured on each SKU.

That's also why we have to talk about the memory solution used by the RX 9060 XT. The graphics card will come in both 8 GB and 16 GB variants. The card will feature a 128-bit bus interface and a 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory solution. The card feels very similar to the RTX 5060 Ti regarding its memory configuration, but the competition is leveraging faster GDDR7 memory.

Other specs include PCIe 5.0 x16 connection, DisplayPort 2.1a, and HDMI 2.1b display outputs, along with all the FSR 4 goodness that one can expect on RDNA 4.

For performance, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB graphics card was compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and is 6% faster. This is 15% higher performance per dollar vs the same competition, which retails at $379 US for the 8 GB and $429 US for the 16 GB variant.

Even the 8 GB model is said to offer very competitive gaming performance against the GeForce RTX 5060 8 GB, which is priced at the same MSRP of $299. The 8 GB model is poised to be 55% faster at 1080p against the RX 7600 across a list of 35+ games, and also ends up 9% faster than the 8 GB RTX 5060 across 40 games tested at 1080p.

Then we have FSR 4 support, which is being extended to over 60 game titles today. With FSR 4's frame-generation, leveraging machine learning, AI upscaling, and frame-gen, the new tech will boost FSP in games by up to 3.4x. A lot of good things are being said about FSR 4, which has now come close to NVIDIA's DLSS 4 in terms of image quality.

DLSS 4 still holds the upper hand with its MFG modes that enable up to 4x frame-gen, but the Red team has some cool tricks planned in the future FSR updates, such as the "Redstone" release which is expected in the second half of 2025 & will deliver various improvements including Neural Radiance Caching, ML Ray Regeneration for accurate and faster ray tracing, ML Super Resolution and ML Frame Generation.

As for pricing, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB graphics cards will be available at an MSRP of $349, while the 8 GB variant will be launching at $299.
