AMD Expands RDNA 4 Lineup with RX 9060 XT
AMD has officially launched the Radeon RX 9060 XT, the latest addition to its RDNA 4-based RX 9000 series. Designed as a budget-friendly option for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this GPU comes in two variants:
- 8GB model at $299
- 16GB model at $349
With competitive pricing and solid performance, the RX 9060 XT is positioned as a strong alternative to NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti.
RX 9060 XT Specifications & Performance
The RX 9060 XT is powered by the Navi 44 GPU and features:
- 32 Compute Units
- 2,048 Stream Processors
- 32 Ray Accelerators
- 64 AI Accelerators
In gaming benchmarks, the RX 9060 XT delivers strong 1080p and 1440p performance, often outperforming NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Ti in price-to-performance comparisons. However, ray tracing performance still lags behind NVIDIA’s offerings, as AMD continues to improve its RT capabilities.
Availability & Pricing Considerations
While AMD announced both 8GB and 16GB models, early reports suggest that the 8GB version had limited availability for reviewers. It remains unclear how widely available this model will be at launch.
For gamers looking for an affordable GPU that handles high-refresh 1080p and smooth 1440p gaming, the 16GB model at $349 may be the better long-term investment due to its extra VRAM.
