The title for the most affordable AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT has been obtained by the Sapphire Pulse edition, which is now available for $395.99 on Amazon. For those wondering, this is the 16GB GDDR6 version, with 8GB cards available in droves that you should avoid because there is little reward in picking those up, as you will be VRAM-constrained for the majority of games that you fire up. Instead, doubling your framebuffer allows you to crank up those visual settings to the maximum values, even when playing on 4K, which will only elevate your gaming experience.
The dual-fan cooler means that the Sapphire Pulse will run quietly and cool the majority of the time, but this purchase does mean that you will not enjoy NVIDIA’s exclusive features, such as DLSS, Frame Generation, ray tracing, and path tracing. Then again, RX 9060 XT is a brawler in the rasterization department, with a multitude of benchmarks showing that it can duke it out with the 16GB VRAM version of the RTX 5060 Ti, while also steamrolling productivity-focused tasks. The Sapphire Pulse edition comes with two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort input for those interested.
While you are getting the most affordable RTX 9060 XT version from the online retailer, there is a notable trade-off that you must be aware of, and that is time. It will take an exceptionally long time for the graphics card to reach you, with the estimated time mentioned to be between July 3 and July 24. The second-most affordable RX 9060 XT belongs to the XFX Swift variant, with the graphics card currently available on Amazon for $419.99.
The advantage of getting this version is that, unlike the Sapphire Pulse, you will not have to wait until next month to have the GPU delivered to you, as that event will happen later this month. The estimated delivery time is between June 21 and June 25, meaning that in less than two weeks, you get to become the proud owner of the RX 9060 XT and get down to enjoying AAA titles almost immediately.
