With AMD's launch of its U31 com and the Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards at the end of February, we were hoping to learn more about the mainstream models fairly quickly. Officially nothing has been said yet but the first detailed specs leak has reached the interwebs, with the claimed to sport 2,048 shaders, a 3.2 GHz boost clock, and up to 16 GB of VRAM.
That's according to which cites no sources for the information, other than "recent information from AMD board partners", but I don't think they're too outlandish. After all, the full Navi 48 GPU in the sports 4,096 shaders so the smaller chip in the 9060 XT is unlikely to have anywhere near as many.
If what is being claimed is correct, then the 9060 XT will essentially be a 9070 XT hacked in two—you're getting half the number of shaders and a memory bus that's half as wide. h25 com สล็อต Or to put it into numbers: 2,048 Stream Processors (with 128 TMUs and 64 ROPs) m358 เครดิตฟรี 188 and a 128-bit memory bus. That's exactly the same as a but the 9060 XT gains ground by virtue of its 3.2 GHz boost clock, 16% higher than the 7600 XT's.
Of course, what PC gamers are going to care about is the price, availability, and for some, how much power it'll use. If I pop on my wizard hat and stare into my crystal ball, I can take a wild stab in the dark at all of this. Let's say Nvidia launches the RTX 5060 Ti at $375 for an 8 GB version: AMD will almost certainly pitch the RX 9060 XT at less than this, perhaps by as much as $50, but whatever it does, it'll probably be quite close to the 7600 XT's launch price of $329.
Back then MSRPs made sense, but these days I wouldn't be surprised if very few board partners offered anything at sub-$350 and I should imagine there will be a few 9060 XT models reaching close to $499.

Hopefully, there will be a decent supply of all these cards, especially the more affordable ones. But even if there is, the demand for GPUs is sky-high at the moment so stocks will probably disappear very rapidly for the first few weeks or even months.
As to the power consumption, I reckon it will be north of 230 W. The 7600 XT is a 190 W graphics card but the 9060 XT is clocked much higher and the GPU housed dedicated matrix units for accelerating the AI-powered FSR 4 upscaling system. The 4,096 shader 9070 XT uses up to 304 W so it's clear that RDNA 4 loves a decent amount of power.
Until AMD officially launches the Radeon RX 9060 XT, all of this is guesswork and rumour. Whether it has the measure of the RTX 5060 Ti won't be certain until we've run both cards through our full benchmark suite, but I suspect the Nvidia card will be the faster of the two, albeit with a higher price tag. Throw in DLSS 4 and it becomes trickier still, as AMD doesn't have anything yet to counter Nvidia's Multi Frame Generation.
But the way things are at the moment, any semi-decent GPU with a price tag that doesn't require the selling of an organ or three on the black market is going to sell well.
