2025 is being one of the most important years for PC games fans, not only because of the releases that have already arrived and are expected, but also for the latest ‘hardware’ components such as processors and graphics cards, which involve an important potential leap. The fight between Nvidia and AMD continues, and if they first faced in the high range with the RTX 5000 and the Rx 9070, now the battlefield is the mid -range.
This week, Nvidia has launched the RTX 5060, the model that replaces one of the most popular cards in history, the RTX 3060; But it is not being well received, and that is where AMD is going to counterattack with The presentation today of the Radeon RX 9060 XT. A new mid -range card that aims to solve many of the competition problems, and become the new reference in performance/price.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT arrives with the promise of being able to enjoy next -generation games without problems, presenting itself as a good option to update our computer to hold a few more years. It is based on the same RDNA 4 architecture as its ‘older sisters’, and the main difference is found in the amount of computer units, 32 (RX 9070 has 56, per context). But AMD states that this is already enough to offer a notable performance improvement, especially in graphics with Raytracing (ray layout), where performance has doubled.
Where AMD has more potential to harm Nvidia is in the amount of vram memory included. RX 9060 XT will be available in Two versions, 8 GB and 16 GBunlike NVIDIA RTX 5060 that is only available with 8 GB; And everything indicates that those additional gigabytes are very important for modern games.
Traditionally, the amount of vram memory was important only if we were going to play high resolutions; But modern graphic engines require a lot of memory even at 1080p. It goes without saying that The 16 GB version of the 9060 XT RX will be the most recommendedeven without seeing the tests.

Of course, artificial intelligence is a very important aspect in any modern product, and RX 9060 XT promises support of FP8 data types, making it compatible with new generative the AI tools; although AMD presents this graph mainly for playersand therefore, he affirms that this will be useful for the new play functions assisted by which some companies such as Microsoft are already developing. The card offers a peak yield of 821 tops.
For the rest, Radeon RX 9060 XT is a modern graphics card, with compatibility with the latest HDMI and Displayport standards. The TDP will be between 150 w and 182 wdepending on the model. The only question to solve the 9060 XT RX is the most important: the price.
At the moment, AMD has not confirmed the cost or the launch date, although it is expected that it will occur in the middle of next June. This is an expected card, that some manufacturers such as Acer advanced to the official announcement presenting their cards, so we should not have to wait a lot to know more.
