Not too long ago, we heard that AMD wanted to step back from the flagship graphics card market, and that decision has been strongly reflected in its Radeon RX 9000 lineup. Both of the cards we’ve seen in this range are mid-range cards, and now, we’re going even cheaper with the addition of the Radeon RX 9060 XT.

AMD has just announced its latest Radeon RX 9060 XT card during Computex 2025, as the company’s cheapest Radeon RX 9000 series card to date. And if you’ve wanted to check out the new RDNA 4 GPUs, this one might be the one to get if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. Just like the Radeon RX 9070 XT and the RX 9070, this model features a decent 16 GB of VRAM, which is going to be more than enough to handle most games, but if you don’t need this much, you can go a step down to 8GB. The Radeon RX 9060 XT is equipped with 32 AMD RDNA 4 compute units—just about half what the RX 9070 XT packs. And we also have double the raytracing throughput, presumably compared to the previous RX 7600 XT.

We have 32 dedicated ray tracing accelerators and an impressive 64 hardware AI accelerators, capable of delivering a peak performance of 821 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) using INT4 sparse calculations. The graphics card is able to clock up to 3.13 GHz, while as far as power consumption goes, it can range from a maximum of 150W to 182W depending on usage. Not exactly friendly to small PSUs, but it’s no RTX 5090—that one goes up to an insane 575W, a fact I bring up every chance I get because it’s just insane. The card also supports DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 for connectivity.

AMD’s New RX 9000 GPUs Are for Gamers, Not AI

The first set of RX 9000 Series GPUs boast premium gaming performance at a shockingly competitive price.

Pitting the RX 9060 XT against other cards in the RX 9000 range, the Radeon RX 9070 XT leads with 64 Compute Units (CUs), 128 AI accelerators (1557 INT4 TOPS), and a 2.97 GHz boost, drawing 304W of power. The RX 9070 offers 56 CUs, 112 AI Accelerators (1165 INT4 TOPS), and a 2.52 GHz boost, but with much reduced power draw at 220W. Both feature 16 GB of memory. The RX 9060 XT is the weaker card here, but it’s also decent specs-wise for a lot of games as long as you don’t try and run 8K games off it—and if you do try that, you still have support for AMD’s FSR 4.

We don’t have availability or pricing info for this card just yet, but you’ll have to keep an eye on your retailer of choice if you want to get one of these. We would love to see a true “flagship” RDNA 4 card, but we’re not sure if AMD is ever planning to launch one.
