The flagship RX 9060 XT model is rumored to get 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, while the standard RX 9060 will feature 12 GB.
The source reported that the RX 9060 XT will be able to outperform the RTX 4060 Ti and come close to the RTX 4070. The card will be based on the RDNA 4 architecture, which performs well when overclocked. It is possible that AMD will increase the clocks at the factory so that the RX 9060 XT performs on par with the RTX 4070.
The main advantage of the new cards is the amount of video memory. The RTX 5060 Ti will be released in 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR7 versions, while the standard RTX 5060 will be limited to 8 GB. In modern games, this might not be enough. For example, graphics cards with 8 GB of VRAM are no longer recommended for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Another key factor is price. The RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 are expected to cost between $400–500 in the US, but AMD could offer more affordable options. If the company manages to maintain a reasonable price point, the RX 9060 XT could become a solid alternative to NVIDIA solutions.
