GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, VRAM excluded.
And boy, does the market know it. Street prices of the RX 9060XT are quickly climbing.
The problem? Availability, which sometimes makes undesirable cards shine even brighter when you can actually buy one.
At the time of the review, we didn’t know what AMD or retailers would be charging for the Radeon RX 9060 RT. Now we do. Here is the MSRP pricing for both cards:
- Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB – $349
- Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB – $299
Unfortunately, street pricing isn’t close. At B&H, Gigabyte’s OC 16GB 9060 XT card is priced at $499.99 at press time, $150, or an additional 42 percent more. B&H is selling Gigabyte’s OC 8GB 9060 XT card for $449.99, again tacking on about an additional $150, or 50 percent more.
Amazon has XFX’s Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB at a more reasonable $369, however, and the Gigabyte RX 9060 XT 8GB card is priced at $329.99 there. But the 16GB version? The Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB at Amazon costs $549.99. Yikes.
Again, PCWorld’s review doesn’t factor in 9060 XT pricing, as that was unknown at the time. But AMD’s card shapes up excellently with the RTX 4060 and basically matches the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB in 1080p rasterized gaming—and for a lot less. Of course, AMD’s card has 16GB of VRAM, and Nvidia’s 5060 Ti has just 8 GB. We also don’t have a vanilla RTX 5060 in hand to test yet.
AMD has said that it has sold through ten times as much inventory for the earlier 9070 release as any other launch in history, which hopefully bodes well for 9600 XT availability. Now, about those prices…
