Techspot have it even with the 5060ti at 1440p

Blah blah inflation, lots of tech has not Increased in price, in fact it's lower than before inflation hit.
It may be inconvenient, but inflation can't really be ignored. Nor can the other uses for dGPUs (or the silicon that would have otherwise been allocated to dGPU production) that have, at times, forced the price up, e.g. crypto, AI, etc..
 
Does seem like a decent deal! Tbh I'm still more looking for something in the 4-500 price range like a next gen 7800xt to make upgrading to 1440p feel worthwhile. Will probably hold out for 9070 to get closer to 500 but yeah 9060xt definitely seems like a great entry level card for ppl building a pc in 2025!
 
Disappointing on the 9060XT... barely a discounted 7700XT from a few years ago. I mean, if folks can get one at MSRP, at least it has a few GB more VRAM and slightly better ray-tracing. It's also better than Nvidia's offerings outside of productivity. But nowhere near the big hit that the 9070XT was... I'm just glad I managed to luck into one at MSRP.

The days of decent generational gains are mostly gone, especially for the mainstream budget. I don't expect to be upgrading my 9070XT at least for the next several years at this rate.

I do expect 9070 non-XT prices to be coming down though (I've seen a good fair number at more reasonable prices in the past few days) and there's a massive gap between the 9060XT and 9070 non-XT that needs to be filled. Would a worldwide release of a 9070GRE fill that?

For folks who do want a 9060XT, I'm glad that there are plenty and that there's good chances of getting one at a decent price, even after launch. The 3 ports and especially only 1DP on the Sapphire models is another shame though. Best of luck, I hope to see a lot of posts of happy customers with their shiny new 9060XTs.

Surely the bottom-of-the-stack card is just supposed to be cheap, not exciting?

The 9060xt 16gb is, what, 20% cheaper than the 5060ti 16gb and pretty much the same, performance-wise. You ain't raytracing or path tracing on a 60-class card just yet anyway, not in the heavy titles. FSR4 is very appealing at that end of the market though.

I would definitely hold out for a 9070
