AMD unveils Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM, likely to cost around Rs 25,000 in India | Technology News
At Computex 2025, AMD announced the Radeon RX 9060 XT, its newest mid-range graphics card that takes on NVIDIA’s RTX 5060. Based on the RDNA4 architecture, the latest from AMD is available in two variants – one with 8GB of VRAM and the other with 16GB of VRAM.
Compared to the 9070 series, which uses the Navi 48 chip, the new Radeon RX 9060 XT is powered by the Navi 44 GPU, which makes it a viable card for gamers looking to buy a card that offers value for money. The chip features 32 compute units or 2048 cores and comes with 32 RT accelerators and 64 AI accelerators.
Manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm process node, the Radeon RX 9060 XT has a boost clock speed of up to 3.13 GHz and a TBP of 150 to 182W. It has a 128-bit bus interface and features a 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory solution. AMD claims that the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB variant is about 6 per cent faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti and offers 15 per cent more performance per dollar compared to the competition.
The new card also features upgraded display outputs, now coming with DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b support and gets a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, which is good news for those with older PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 motherboards. As is the case with AMD’s new cards, the Radeon RX 9060 XT also supports FidelityFX Super Resolution 4, popularly known as FSR 4.
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT does look good on paper, but we will have to wait and see how it performs compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060. If we take a look at the hardware, expect to get almost half the performance of the much pricier AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT on the 8GB model.
While the 8GB VRAM version of the Radeon RX 9060 XT is priced at $299, the 16GB VRAM variant will be available for $349, which roughly translates to Rs 25,676 and Rs 29,955, respectively.
