Radeon Rx 9060 Xt

Testing shows Radeon RX 9060 XT can beat RTX 5070 on slower CPUs

Benchmarks comparing the GeForce RTX 5060, RTX 5070 and Radeon RX 9060 XT across different processors found that Nvidia's CPU driver overhead issue persists even on these lower-end GPUs. When paired with weaker CPUs like the Ryzen 5 5600 or 5500, the cheaper RX 9060 XT sometimes delivered better gaming performance than the pricier RTX 5070. The testing follows earlier findings on the same overhead problem affecting higher-end RTX 5070 Ti cards.

Developer Bridges ZLUDA and ROCm to Run CUDA Workloads on AMD GPUs in Windows

An independent developer known as Speedstu built a PowerShell-based toolkit that combines ZLUDA with AMD's HIP/ROCm SDK, allowing CUDA-only applications to run on AMD GPUs in Windows without dual-booting or virtual machines. The setup successfully mapped CUDA's driver API and libraries like cuBLAS, cuSPARSE, and cuFFT to AMD equivalents, and was tested by training a small reinforcement-learning model on a Radeon RX 9060 XT using unmodified CUDA code.
