AMDhas officially revealed the Radeon RX 9060 XT GPU, featuring the company’s new RDNA 4 architecture, confirming its specs, price, and release date during Computex 2025. The announcement follows months of leaks and speculation aboutAMD’s next move in the competitive budget graphics card segment, following the RX 9070 XT, which offers extremely competitive mid-range performance.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is another great option in AMD’s latest generation of GPUs that takes advantage of thenew and much-improved RDNA 4 architecture. Featured on other previously released 9000 Series GPUs, the new architecture offers better general and AI performance, including a massive step-up in FidelityFX Super Resolution, the AI upscaling feature that competes with Nvidia’s all-important DLSS technology. Budget gaming GPUs in this range are aimed at gamers looking to improve performance at 1080p and even dip into 1440p gaming while keeping the price tags to a minimum.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT was officially unveiled by AMD at the Computex 2025 show in Taipei, Taiwan. During his keynote speech, the senior VP of Computing and Graphics Group, Jack Huynh, announced that the new GPU will start at just under $300. The new budget-tier graphics card in the latest generation of Radeon products will be available globally starting June 10, 2025. The GPU is poised to compete directly withNvidia’s GeForce RTX 5060 Series, which is achieved with aggressive pricing, two memory options, and major improvements in ray tracing and AI-assisted features.

The RX 9060 XT is equipped with 32 compute units, amounting to 2048 stream processors,half the count found in the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XTat nearly triple the price. With the new and improved compute units, the GPU brings up to two times better ray tracing performance over the previous generation, thanks to each featuring dedicated RT cores. What’s perhaps even more important is the 64 AI cores that enable technologies like FSR 4. AMD’s latest upscaling system is hailed as a significant improvement, bringing AI upscaling much closer to what one would experience from Nvidia’s DLSS.
The RX 9060 XT is going to be one of thebest AMD GPU options for 1080p gaming, with decent performance even at 1440p resolution. The best part of the proposition is the price. AMD’s two models, featuring 8 GB and 16 GB VRAM, will be available at $299 and $349, respectively. In particular, the 16 GB version will undercut Nvidia’s similar offering, the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, by a big margin, saving shoppers potentially over $100 with comparable or better performance. Now, with FSR 4 closing the gap in AI performance, this might be one of the best value propositions for gamers.
