AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT: Official Confirmation Revealed

AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT at Computex 2025, building on the success of the RX 9070 XT released in March. However, Team Red has kept the details of this new mid-range graphics card under wraps, leaving enthusiasts eager for more information.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is equipped with 32 Compute Units and boasts a robust 16GB of GDDR6 memory, making it an attractive option for gamers aiming for a smooth 1080p gaming experience. Given its compact design, it's no surprise that this GPU consumes significantly less power than its predecessor, the RX 9070 XT, with a Total Board Power (TBP) ranging from 150-182W.

With half the Compute Units and approximately half the power consumption of the RX 9070 XT, the RX 9060 XT is expected to offer less performance but at a potentially more affordable price point. Unfortunately, AMD has yet to disclose any pricing or release date details for this anticipated graphics card.

The Budget Battles Have Begun

While it's frustrating that AMD hasn't revealed the cost of the Radeon RX 9060 XT, it's likely to be competitively priced, possibly around the same range as the Intel Arc B580 and the recently launched RTX 5060. These competing graphics cards have power budgets of 145W and 190W, respectively, and both hit the market at approximately $250-$300. AMD is expected to target this same budget segment.

When the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT finally hits the shelves, gamers looking for a graphics card in the $300 range will have three viable options from different manufacturers. If the RX 9060 XT maintains a similar price point, it could have a significant advantage over its rivals, being the only card in this category to offer 16GB of VRAM, compared to 8GB from Nvidia and 12GB from Intel.

I'm eager to test the RX 9060 XT in the lab to assess its real-world performance. If it matches up well against its competitors, the larger frame buffer could extend its relevance as games increasingly demand more video memory. While the final price of the RX 9060 XT remains a mystery, it's shaping up to be a compelling option for budget-conscious gamers.
