One thing to stay up for: Now that Nvidia has launched the RTX 5060 Ti, customers are awaiting AMD’s reply: the Radeon RX 9060 XT. As the most recent era of graphics playing cards strikes towards the mainstream worth tier, most experiences place Group Purple’s upcoming launches round Computex subsequent month.
A poster on Board Channels (through Tom’s {Hardware}) lately claimed that AMD will launch the Radeon RX 9060 XT on Might 18, simply earlier than Computex. The corporate lately confirmed that its gaming division will ship bulletins on the Taipei occasion, sparking hypothesis that it’d unveil the usual 9060. Prior experiences shifted the 9060 XT’s rumored launch window backwards and forwards between Might and June.
AMD hasn’t outlined the GPU’s specs but, however leaks point out that it makes use of the corporate’s Navi 44 GPU. Different particulars embody 20 Gbps reminiscence on a 120-bit bus, 32 compute items, clock speeds exceeding 3GHz, and a 500W PSU suggestion.
Its major competitor is Nvidia’s lately launched RTX 5060 Ti. Our evaluation exhibits that the Nvidia card’s 16GB variant provides an honest efficiency uplift over the 4060 Ti and customarily matches AMD’s RX 7700 XT. Group Purple’s mid-range 9070 and 9070 XT have restored optimism for the Radeon model, as they examine favorably to Nvidia’s 5070 and 5070 Ti, ending a efficiency drawback that affected a number of prior generations. Time will inform if AMD can repeat these leads to the commercially essential mainstream GPU sector.
Just like the RTX 5060 Ti, the RX 9060 XT is anticipated to return in 16GB and 8GB reminiscence configurations. Prospects will doubtless be disillusioned to see the 2 main producers proceed releasing 8GB graphics playing cards in 2025, as our 8GB RTX 5060 Ti evaluation revealed that halving the reminiscence pool severely limits efficiency in fashionable high-end video games, even at 1080p.
