OcUK RX9060XT Review Thread

- Start date
Just get the 16 GB card, honestly, you won't notice that money in a few months, but you might notice the difference a lot of it starts capping in certain games.

Yeah pretty much... I'd still go for the 16GB 9060XT over the 8GB 5060, by a long way, but price and performance are both pretty evenly between the that and the 5060ti
As a side note, I do find it funny that the TPU review lists the 'maximum' power draw as lower than the gaming power draw, even if it's only a Watt or two
Need to update their 'maximum' benchmark suite!

9070xt is about the same price as the 6800 was after inflation. Or not much more. Techspot has it 72% faster. Gotta be twice the speed at least in RT. Has more than a generational increase in upscaling quality. Seems clear to me!
You're buying something that will be obsolete with some games the moment you pick it up, even at 1080P.
Spend the pittance extra for the 16gb version and he'll be grand for years, the 7600 isn't even necessarily bad performance wise yet it's hampered by VRAM at 8gb and was a poor value proposition for the 16gb version due to the price hike. A 9060 16gb for £315 is about as good as it gets for entry level gaming GPU's with a shelf life of more than five minutes right now.
Ask if he'd be willing to do some chores for awhile or put money he's earned in some other way toward it.

The 7800 XT is looking like a pretty phenomenal used buy right now
Glad I bought one in March.
I like my 7800 XT, only card i have ever had that after 18 months of use has never complained, never put a foot wrong, it just works.... Plug it in and forget its there, kinda boring but its how it should be ideally.
if AMD dont keep at msrp i think they wont sell that well as the 16gb 60ti isnt much for money, i believe 399 is lowest. they are very close together obviously nvidia have better RT, and obviously dlss, though tbh RT is irrelevant this low down the card stack imo

It's sad that they released a 8gb version of this.
every review I have watched said they had both cards and do not buy the 8gb card they will review it after but do not buy it
pretty much skip one family stop at mcdonalds last time it cost us £45 for five people
it was a desperation move being late back stuff is cardboard crap

I think 8GB cards have their place, just not at £270 and certainly not at £320, this is why the 9060 XT 16GB is so much better, the Raytracing overall according to TPU is 4% better for the 5060 Ti than it is for the 9060 XT, its equal to an RX 7800 XT, there are two RT games where you can't turn RT off, the new Doom game which the AMD card runs at least as well as the Nvidia card if not better, and Indiana Jones, again at 1080P the 5060 Ti 16GB is 80.9 FPS vs 80.2 FPS for the 9060 XT 16GB, the same....
Where Nvidia RT is better than AMD to any significant extent, especially RDNA 4 are a couple of selective outliers where frankly the RT performance is terrible, or 'unplayable' for Nvidia cards too, even high end ones, so i'm sorry but to me if the RT is unusable it just doesn't count.
Interestingly for Indiana Jones the 8GB 5060 Ti "crashed" i'm sure it would work fine with lower settings.
As for DLSS, Nvidia have a head start getting DLSS in more and with that older games.
Going forward i think it should be stipulated that game developers don't get to use FSR 4 or Project Amethyst on the PS5 if its not also included with the PC version of the game, like has been allowed to happen up until now, looking at you CDProject Red, its AMD's IP, they get to dictate how its used.
Seems a pointless upgrade (effectively the same card but one generation newer) if you aren't going to go for the 16Gb model.
Stick with the 7600 until the next gen or pay a bit more

TPU’s relative performance seems to out this at 10% faster than a 6700 XT, HUB have it at nearly 30% and neither of those are using FSR4.
Am a bit confused as to whether it’s worth an upgrade for me.

Yup I love my 7900xt.
I appreciate that's more of an expensive card, I don't mean this to be a "mines better than yours" also you could possibly argue that 20gb VRAM is even potentially overkill?
But it's great. My only criticism is it runs a bit hotter and uses a fair bit more power than my previous (3070) otherwise I'm happy with performance.
And despite my earlier comment about the memory, it's a nice feeling to know that it in years to come it'll get to the point where it'll slowly start running out of grunt, which is a more gradual FPS loss, rather than capping out if memory and bombing down.
To be clear, I'm well aware of the potential limitations of the 8GB card and weighing up the price and what games are affected by the VRAM limit I'm still considering one for my son.
I'm not buying a £315+ GPU for someone who is already happy with a 7600, I *might* buy a £270 GPU if the relative performance is ok, I'm open to better, new alternatives....

On topic, I think the 9060xt 16gb will make a really nice to entry to mId level GPU.
16GB is plenty for the grunt of the card, feels quite well balanced, performance, power draw and longevity.
I think if you are the type of gamer who is not chasing benchmarks, absolutely top end settings or frame rates, you could just slap this in, forget about it, and in 5 years it's still good, and all for a reasonable (given GPUs) price tag.

thats why i mentioned the word 'Cheap'
If he's already happy with a 7600 then there is no point "upgrading" to another 8Gb card. Save your money and wait for the next generation or a good deal on a more powerful card
