According to recent leaks, AMD is planning to launch the Radeon RX 9060 XT in two variants with 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory. This information comes from a registration of the manufacturer Acer with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), which indicates a release in the second quarter of 2025.
- Memory variants: 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR6
- Memory interface: 128-bit
- Availability: Expected in the second quarter of 2025
- Single 8-pin power connector
Technical details of the Radeon RX 9060 XT
The Radeon RX 9060 XT will be based on the RDNA-4 architecture and is expected to use the Navi-44 graphics processor. It is expected to be available in two memory configurations: with 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR6 memory, both connected via a 128-bit memory interface.
This strategy is similar to that of Nvidia, who also offer their GeForce RTX 5060 Ti in 16 GB and 8 GB memory variants. Both cards are expected to be launched on the market in the second quarter of 2025 and will be in direct competition with each other.
Expected performance and market positioning
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is expected to be positioned in the mid-range performance segment and will compete with the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. The availability of 16 GB of memory could give the RX 9060 XT an advantage in memory-intensive applications. However, it remains to be seen what effect the different memory sizes will have in real-life scenarios.
Conclusion
The upcoming launch of the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR6 memory promises exciting options for gamers and tech enthusiasts. With its expected performance and various memory configurations, it could be an attractive choice in the mid-range price segment. Pricing details and exact availability are expected to be announced in the coming months.
