The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT has reportedly become available early through unofficial channels. Redditor “uesato_hinata” shared images and screenshots of the card running with a modified driver.
Initial findings regarding the card's overclocking capabilities suggest that users won't be able to increase the VRAM speed, as the Reddit user could not exceed 2538MHz without crashing. However, the GPU frequency was boosted by 200MHz with a -40 mV voltage offset and a 10% increase in power limit. The card has a maximum Total Board Power of 182W, but after overclocking and undervolting, the user achieved 3.46GHz at 199W. In terms of performance, the RX 9060 XT scored 17,069 in Time Spy, putting it at the same level as a Radeon RX 7700 XT.
Moreover, another Reddit user (via VideoCardz) shared the results of a leaked review, giving a better picture of how the upcoming Radeon RX 9060 XT compares against other GPUs. Compared to the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, the RX 9060 XT 16GB was 3.5% faster in 1% lows but 3.6% slower in average FPS at 1080p. In 1440p, the RX 9060 XT was 7.8% faster in 1% lows but 5.6% slower in average FPS. Lastly, with ray tracing at 1080p, the RX 9060 XT was notably slower, with 1% lows being 10.5% lower and average FPS 10.1% lower than the RTX 5060 Ti.
AMD plans to release the Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards on June 5th. These cards are expected to be cheaper than the RTX 5060 Ti, going for £269.99 for the most affordable 8GB cards to £359.99 for the 16GB models.
