AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Review: 1440p Power for Under $400

In a market crowded with confusing naming conventions and marginal upgrades, AMD's new Radeon RX 9060 XT arrives in two forms: one you should avoid, and one you might even want to pre-order. The former is an 8GB graphics card that feels stuck in 2020. The latter – the focus of this review – is the 9060 XT 16GB, a GPU that could finally bring some sanity back to the sub-$400 bracket.
We'll cover the 8 GB model in a separate review later this week, so we won't spend much time discussing it here. (Spoiler: it gets its own, far less flattering, story.)
Priced at $350, the new Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB comes in ~20% cheaper than the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti, despite featuring a die that's 10% larger. AMD likely offset some of that cost by sticking with GDDR6 memory. The new Radeon offers more VRAM than any competing current-gen card in its class, while still undercutting Nvidia's 8 GB RTX 5060 Ti in price.
