AMD’s Upcoming RX 9060 XT Leaks—And It’s Faster Than Expected
AMD’s next mid-range GPU, the Radeon RX 9060 XT, hasn’t even launched yet—but it’s already being tested by early buyers. A Reddit user shared benchmarks and overclocking results, revealing that the card can match the RX 7700 XT in performance when pushed to its limits.
Early Sale and First Tests
A Redditor (uesato_hinata) posted images and performance screenshots of an XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT, which somehow went on sale before its official June 5 launch. The card is running on a pre-release driver (version 25.6.1), likely AMD’s next official update.
Key findings from the leak:
- Memory is locked at 2538 MHz—any higher causes crashes.
- GPU clock can hit 3.46 GHz with a 40mV undervolt + 10% power limit increase.
- Power consumption jumps from 182W (stock) to 199W (overclocked).
Performance: On Par with RX 7700 XT
In 3DMark Time Spy, the overclocked RX 9060 XT scored 17,069 points—nearly identical to the RX 7700 XT’s average. This positions it between the RX 7700 XT and RX 6800 XT, making it a strong contender in the $300-$350 price range.
