AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Confirmation Revealed

AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT at Computex 2025, following the successful launch of the RX 9070 XT in March. Despite the anticipation, Team Red has kept details about this mid-range graphics card under wraps.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT boasts 32 Compute Units and is equipped with a robust 16GB of GDDR6 memory, making it well-suited for 1080p gaming. Given its compact design, the card is expected to consume significantly less power than 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 poised to be less powerful but potentially more budget-friendly. However, AMD has yet to disclose any pricing or release date information.

The Budget Battles Have Begun

While AMD's silence on the Radeon RX 9060 XT's price is frustrating, it's likely to be priced competitively with the Intel Arc B580 and the recently released RTX 5060. Both competitors have power budgets of 145W and 190W and were launched at around $250-$300. AMD is expected to target the same market segment.

When the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT finally hits the market, budget-conscious gamers will have three compelling options from different manufacturers. If AMD manages to keep the RX 9060 XT within the $300 price range, it will stand out with its 16GB of VRAM, surpassing the 8GB offered by Nvidia and the 12GB from Intel.

While I'll need to test the RX 9060 XT in the lab to assess its performance, the larger frame buffer could give it a longer lifespan as games increasingly demand more video memory. The exact cost of the RX 9060 XT remains a mystery, but it's shaping up to be a contender in the budget GPU market.
