AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB

Radeon RX 9000Released June 5, 2025Launch price $299 (launch price (AMD); board-partner cards only)

$6.81 per frame in Cyberpunk 2077 1440p Ultra, on the launch price.

The same chip as the 16GB model with half the memory and 10 W less board power. In most games it is close behind the 16GB card - 43.9 against 47.2 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p Ultra in Tom's Hardware's tests - but it collapses once a game wants more than 8 GB: 11.1 fps against 24.8 with ray tracing on in the same game.
