Overview

  • AMD launched the Radeon RX9060 XT on June 5 with RDNA4 architecture, ray tracing and AI-powered FSR4 in 8GB ($299) and 16GB ($349) configurations
  • The 16GB model has sold out rapidly in the US and parts of Europe, while the 8GB card remains broadly in stock at its $299 MSRP
  • AMD’s Frank Azor defended the small number of 8GB review units by saying sample distribution was guided by regional market demand
  • Independent benchmarks indicate the RX9060 XT 16GB delivers up to 23% better performance at 1440p than NVIDIA’s RTX5060 Ti, undercutting it on price
  • Most retailers are holding both RX9060 XT variants at or near MSRP post-launch, though some custom editions carry modest premiums
