Overview

  • AMD announced the Radeon RX 9060 XT, featuring RDNA 4 architecture, 32 compute units, and a 3.13 GHz boost clock, with models priced at $299 for 8 GB and $349 for 16 GB.
  • NVIDIA’s RTX 5060, launched on May 19 at $299, offers 25% more CUDA cores and up to 25% higher raster performance than its predecessor, but lacks pre-launch reviews due to delayed driver access.
  • Both GPUs aim to dominate the 1080p and 1440p gaming segments, leveraging AI-driven upscaling technologies—DLSS 4 for NVIDIA and FSR 4 for AMD—amid ongoing debates over 8 GB VRAM limitations.
  • Major OEMs, including Asus and Razer, have integrated the RTX 5060 into new gaming laptops, with configurations starting at $1,499.99 and $2,299.99, respectively.
  • AMD’s RX 9060 XT will be available starting June 5, with early indications suggesting it will compete aggressively on price and performance in the critical midrange GPU market.
