AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT: Official Confirmation Revealed

AMD has officially unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT at Computex 2025, marking their follow-up to the successful launch of the RX 9070 XT earlier this year. Despite the buzz surrounding its predecessor, details about the upcoming mid-range graphics card remain scarce.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT boasts 32 Compute Units paired with 16GB of GDDR6 memory, offering a robust specification for a card aimed at 1080p gaming enthusiasts. Given its compact design, it’s expected to consume significantly less power than the RX 9070 XT, with a Total Board Power (TBP) ranging between 150-182W.

Considering its reduced Compute Unit count and power consumption, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the RX 9060 XT will deliver substantially lower performance compared to its higher-end counterpart. Nevertheless, affordability remains a key factor, though AMD has yet to disclose pricing or a release timeline.

The Budget Battlefield Heats Up

While it’s disappointing that AMD hasn’t provided specifics regarding the RX 9060 XT’s price, it’s likely to fall within the same range as competitors like the Intel Arc B580 or the recently released RTX 5060. Both GPUs, with power budgets of 145W and 190W respectively, debuted at approximately $250-$300. AMD seems poised to stake its claim in this competitive market segment.

When the RX 9060 XT eventually launches, gamers seeking a $300-class graphics card will face three viable options from distinct brands. However, should this Radeon model maintain its pricing strategy, it could gain an edge over rivals due to its unique feature set—most notably, its 16GB VRAM configuration, contrasting with the 8GB of NVIDIA’s offerings and 12GB of Intel’s.

Though further testing is necessary to gauge its real-world performance, the enhanced memory capacity alone positions it favorably against future game demands. Time will reveal its exact cost, but the RX 9060 XT could well become the budget GPU to watch in 2025.
