The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Is Finally Confirmed

AMD has announced the Radeon RX 9060 XT astatine Computex 2025, yet pursuing up connected the occurrence of the RX 9070 XT backmost successful March. However, Team Red hasn't shared overmuch accusation astir the upcoming mid-range graphics card.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT features 32 Compute Units, backed up with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, which is simply a generous spec for a paper that'll apt beryllium targeting 1080p gaming. With specified a tiny GPU, it shouldn't beryllium overmuch of a astonishment that it'll instrumentality up overmuch little powerfulness than the RX 9070 XT, with a Total Board Power (TBP) of 150-182W.

However, due to the fact that this AMD GPU has fractional the Compute Units, and consumes astir fractional the power, of the RX 9070 XT, it's harmless to presume that it'll beryllium much little almighty – but hopefully much affordable. Unfortunately, AMD hasn't shared immoderate pricing oregon merchandise day accusation astir the upcoming graphics card.

The Budget Battles Have Begun

While it's annoying that AMD hasn't revealed however overmuch the Radeon RX 9060 XT volition really cost, it's astir apt not going to beryllium overmuch much costly than the Intel Arc B580 oregon the recently-released RTX 5060. Those graphics cards person powerfulness budgets of 145W and 190W, respectively, and some launched for astir $250-$300. It's precise apt AMD is going to people the aforesaid portion of the market.

That means erstwhile the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT launches – whenever that is – gamers buying for a $300-ish graphics paper volition person 3 choices, each from antithetic companies. However, if this caller Radeon paper stays successful that terms range, that'll springiness it the edge; it'll beryllium the lone GPU successful the conception with 16GB of VRAM, compared to 8GB from Nvidia and 12GB from Intel.

I'll inactive person to get it successful the laboratory to spot however it really performs, but if the GPU itself is arsenic beardown arsenic the competition, the larger framework buffer unsocial volition marque it past a spot longer into the future, arsenic games get much demanding connected video memory. Only clip volition archer however overmuch the RX 9060 XT volition extremity up costing, but it whitethorn beryllium the fund GPU to ticker close now.
