AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 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. Although details remain scarce, this mid-range graphics card promises intriguing specs for 1080p gaming enthusiasts.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT boasts 32 Compute Units and is equipped with a substantial 16GB of GDDR6 memory. Given its compact size, it's no surprise that this GPU will consume 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 power consumption of the RX 9070 XT, the RX 9060 XT is expected to be significantly less powerful but potentially more budget-friendly. Unfortunately, AMD has yet to disclose any pricing or release date information.

The Budget Battles Have Begun

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

When the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT finally hits the market, gamers looking for a graphics card around $300 will have three compelling options from different manufacturers. If the RX 9060 XT remains in this price range, it will have a distinct advantage: it's the only GPU in its class with 16GB of VRAM, compared to 8GB from Nvidia and 12GB from Intel.

I'll need to test it in the lab to assess its performance, but if the GPU holds up against its competitors, the larger frame buffer could ensure it remains relevant longer as games become more demanding on video memory. While the final price of the RX 9060 XT remains a mystery, it's shaping up to be a key contender in the budget GPU market.
