AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

In our tests, AMD's Radeon RX 9060 XT delivers one of the largest generational performance leaps in 2025's crop of graphics cards. Its potent frame rates across many game types and 16GB of memory make this GPU a sweet, popularly priced deal for 1080p and light 1440p play.

AMD's RX 9060 XT doesn't pull any punches, and with its smart placement in the current-gen GPU market, it doesn't need to.

When it comes to the entry-level GPU market, pricing is everything. And while the RX 9060 XT isn't quite capable of outright beating Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti, it often comes within touching distance of it—all for an $80 lower MSRP. That makes it the budget card to beat right now, if you ask me.

Whether you’re building a powerhouse workstation or upgrading your living-room PC, this card delivers reliable, efficient performance at a reasonable price point. At $349 MSRP, it looks like a card that offer value—though once partner-brand premiums and VAT are added, you might end up closer to $400–450. To get the best bang for your buck, look for the simpler reference-style models and shop around for deals.

It hasn’t been a completely smooth gaming experience with the AMD RX 9060 XT. My potentially faulty RX 9060 XT review sample caused Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Hogwarts Legacy to both crash on me. Hogwarts Legacy refused to start and instantly prompted an AMD’s Bug Report Tool warning message that the video driver timed out. COD: BO6 at least ran fine for me most of the time, and it only crashed once while running the built-in benchmark, which ran without issue on five other occasions.

AMD's RX 9060 XT 16GB is a compelling addition to the sub-£350 market. If it can hold at the £315 MSRP, we'd expect AMD to shift a large number of units.

At MSRP, the Radeon RX 9060 XT is a fantastic buy. It's quicker than the RTX 5060, while the 16GB version costs $80 less than the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and isn't far off its pace. The lack of widespread game support for FSR 4 dents its appeal, though, as does the potential for price rises beyond its MSRP.

The Radeon RX 9060 XT delivers a solid amount of 1080p and 1440p gaming power for just $350. It’s not the fastest card around, but it’s a great option for most people.
