AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB review: Finally, a powerful $350 GPU
- The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, priced at $350 with 16GB of RAM, competes with NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti for 1080p and 1440p gaming, offering similar performance for less money.
- AMD's strategy is to provide more RAM at a lower cost, despite using slower GDDR6 compared to NVIDIA's GDDR7, which is beneficial for handling large textures in modern games.
- Featuring 32 RDNA 4 compute units and 32 RT accelerators, the RX 9060 XT reaches speeds up to 3.1GHz, consuming up to 180W of power.
- Compared to the RX 7600 XT, the 9060 XT demonstrates significant hardware advancements, boasting a 46% performance increase across more than 40 games.
- In testing, the RX 9060 XT delivered competitive performance, slightly slower than the RX 9070 and on par with the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti in various benchmarks.
- Despite being less expensive, the RX 9060 XT managed to keep up with the RTX 5060 Ti in gaming performance, showcasing improved ray tracing capabilities over previous AMD GPUs.
- The card was able to run Cyberpunk 2077 in 1440p ray tracing mode at 80 fps, showing potential for solid performance at 1080p and 1440p settings.
- With temperatures reaching only 54 degrees Celsius under stress test and minimal fan noise, the RX 9060 XT maintained efficient cooling during operation.
- One drawback is the limited support for AMD's FSR 4 AI upscaling compared to NVIDIA's DLSS 4, with only a select number of games currently compatible.
- Overall, the Radeon RX 9060 XT offers a compelling option for budget-conscious gamers seeking reliable performance in 1080p and 1440p gaming scenarios below $400.
