AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Unveiled: Navi 44 GPU With 2048 Cores, Over 3.1 GHz Clocks, 16 GB “$349” & 8 GB “299” Variants

AMD has officially unveiled its mainstream RDNA 4 graphics card, the Radeon RX 9060 XT, which features up to 16 GB of VRAM.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Aims The Mainstream Segment With Over 3.1 GHz Navi 44 GPU and Up To 182W TBP

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 series was confirmed back when the company initially 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. Unlike the RX 9070 series, the lineup only features one SKU for now, but it will come in two configurations, as we will show in the detailed specs run-down below.

Starting off 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 all the way 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 in regard to its memory configuration, but the competition is leveraging faster GDDR7 memory. It was rumored that AMD might cancel the 8 GB variant in response to the poor reception of NVIDIA's 8 GB 5060 Ti and 5060, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

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.

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.
