RX 9060 XT 16GB Specifications

The RX 9060 XT 16GB is based on the RDNA 4.0 architecture and manufactured using the 4 nm process node. It was launched approximately 2 weeks, 4 days ago, originally priced at $349. It features 2048 cores, including 32 compute units (SMs), 128 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 64 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 32 dedicated RT cores and None Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 3130 MHz. The RX 9060 XT 16GB comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus. Memory runs at 2518 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 322 GB/s.

This GPU has a low thermal design power (TDP) of 160 W. It is generally compatible with almost all PC cases and is excellent for SFF and compact systems where heat dissipation is a concern.

RX 9060 XT 16GB Performance Review

RX 9060 XT 16GB is a mid-range graphics card, scoring 42.77% in relative gaming performance. Thanks to 16 GB of VRAM, it offers excellent 1440p performance and can handle 4K gaming with optimized settings or the help of DLSS, FSR, and frame generation. Great for users targeting 100+ FPS at 1440p or playable 4K in lighter titles.

The RX 9060 XT 16GB is equipped with a generous 16 GB of VRAM, providing excellent performance in a wide range of use cases. It can handle ultra to high settings in most modern games at up to 4K resolution with minimal compromise. It also supports features such as ray tracing and high-resolution textures without significant memory constraints. For content creators, this GPU is well-suited for 4K video editing, photo editing with large RAW files, 3D rendering, and complex animations. In AI applications, it can run intermediate-sized models and perform tasks such as training custom models, image generation, and data processing — though not at the scale of enterprise-class GPUs. It offers a great balance for gamers, creators, and prosumers alike.

In terms of gaming value, RX 9060 XT 16GB offers excellent performance per dollar, achieving 83.5% efficiency relative to the best in this category. It is an outstanding choice for users seeking a cost-effective yet powerful solution, with ample VRAM ensuring strong future-proofing.
