VRAM-rich graphics cards are becoming harder and harder to find by the day, thanks to the DRAM/NAND flash shortage. However, one of AMD's AIB RX 9060 XT 16GB graphics cards has become a small beacon of light in these dark times. PowerColor's RX 9060 XT 16GB Reaper is on sale on Newegg with a promo code for just $379.99, featuring double the memory capacity of Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which costs more than this at MSRP and is only $50 less at its cheapest current listing. If you are looking for a VRAM-rich graphics card, don't sleep on this deal; it's unlikely we will be seeing many of these types of deals moving forward.
The PowerColor variant on sale is the manufacturer's lowest-end 16GB RX 9060 XT trim it makes. The card boasts a dual-fan cooler design with a matte black finish and a single 8-pin supplementary power connector. The card measures just 220mm in length and is the same height as a standard PCIe slot, making it compatible with a large majority of cases on the market, including compact Mini-ITX chassis.
The RX 9060 XT 16GB is one of AMD's cheapest GPUs that it makes on its latest RDNA4 architecture. The GPU comes with 2,048 shader cores, 32 CUs, 32MB of Infinity cache, and 16GB of GDDR6 (20Gbps) operating on a skinny 128-bit interface.
We praised the RX 9060 XT 16GB for its large memory capacity in our review. Compared to the 8GB RX 9060 and competing 8GB RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, the RX 9060 XT 16GB does not run into any VRAM limitations, allowing the GPU to run at full speed. This translates to very competitive performance in our benchmarks, with the RX 9060 XT 16GB performing on par or beating the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB in rasterization-only and ray tracing titles at any resolution.

VRAM is one of the most important factors when choosing a graphics card, and buying one with enough memory for the games you play is only going to get harder as the memory shortage drags on. AMD's RX 9060 XT 16GB is the last "cheap" 16GB graphics card on the market. NVIDIA's 16GB RTX 5060 Ti is already skyrocketing in price thanks to NVIDIA's recent plans to prioritize 8GB RTX 5060 series production.
8GB graphics cards are by no means obsolete for gaming, but 8GB of VRAM capacity has been a pain point on graphics cards for years now, and in 2026 is not enough to run AAA games at ultra settings comfortably at even 1080p resolution. It is also not enough to run other VRAM-intensive features like frame generation.
The RX 9060 XT 16GB was already cheap (in the current GPU landscape), but this deal with the extra promo code only sweetens the card's value more.
