Radeon RX 9060 XT: AMD Should Continue Planning 48 Comments with an 8 GB Version
Will the Radeon RX 9060 XT appear as the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with 16 and 8 GB of VRAM? For a long time, these seemed like rumors to define the smaller variant. “There’s nothing there,” he says from Asia. The 8 GB version should appear as originally planned.

Benchlife reported this with reference to several industry sources. The same publication had recently reported a market launch of the graphics cards in June. Regarding the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB version, we have reliable sources stating that there are no plans to discontinue or cancel the offer at this time. As for the news coming out of the market, these are just rumors, and the main reason, as mentioned earlier, is entirely due to the reaction to the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.

Benchlife does not want to rule out that AMD will primarily target the 8GB version for OEM systems. In fact, the interest of discerning graphics card customers in the 8GB variant of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (review) in Germany is currently very low, as the disadvantages of such VRAM expansion are now well known. PC OEM customers are generally less informed about this.
Furthermore, like NVIDIA, AMD should try to avoid negative press and customer criticism. So, if Nvidia simply didn’t make an 8GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti model or partner, AMD could be planning the same thing, citing the “OEM nature” of the 8GB version. Techastuce has always tested the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB.
The key data for the two new Radeon RX 9000s on RDNA-4 with FSR-4 support (test) has been known for a long time. There is no information on the TDP.
