At Computex 2025, AMD made a thunderous debut of its Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card – the third member of the RX 9000 series. Positioned for mainstream gamers, this new offering features dual memory configurations (8GB/16GB), completing AMD’s product matrix alongside the previously released RX 9070 series and marking the full-scale market entry of RDNA 4 architecture GPUs.
Timely Successor
As the rightful heir to 2024’s RX 7600 XT, the RX 9060 XT arrives just 18 months after its predecessor, perfectly timed to counter NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 series launch. Facing competition from both RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060, this new GPU serves as AMD’s “rain in drought” for the mainstream market.
4nm Precision Engineering
Built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 4nm process, the RX 9060 XT features a custom Navi 44 core – more compact than the Navi 48 powering the RX 9070 series, yet delivering superior power efficiency and cost-effectiveness without compromising performance.
