Notes on 7 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, Launch price: Launch MSRP was $349, but most 16GB models initially sold higher; Tom's Hardware saw them starting at $389.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  6. 6AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
  7. 7AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).

Performance and Compute

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB relies on an Rdna 4 architecture with a higher boost clock of 3,130 MHz and 25.6 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This gives it an edge in raw clock speed over the competition.

On the other side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB uses the Blackwell architecture and packs 4,608 shader cores. Despite lower clock speeds, these shader cores provide strong computational throughput for demanding rendering tasks.

Memory and Bandwidth

The AMD card delivers 16 GB of Gddr6 video memory over a 128-bit bus, offering double the capacity for high-resolution textures and heavy workloads. It operates at 20 Gbps for a memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s.

The NVIDIA card equips faster Gddr7 memory types running at 28 Gbps. This pushes its memory bandwidth to 448 GB/s, though it remains restricted to an 8 GB frame buffer.

Power and System Requirements

Power efficiency favors the AMD choice, which requires a board power of just 160 W and a recommended power supply of 450 W. It relies on a single standard 8-pin connector for power delivery.

The NVIDIA option draws slightly more power at 180 W and demands a 600 W power supply. Most partner cards use an 8-pin connector, though some adopt a 16-bit 12V-2x6 socket.

Connectivity and Displays

Both options support PCIe 5.0 and HDMI 2.1b connections. However, the AMD card features 16 PCIe lanes, giving it full bandwidth across older motherboard standards.

The NVIDIA card is limited to 8 PCIe lanes, which can impact performance on older PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 boards. For displays, it offers three DisplayPort outputs with UHBR20 support and a maximum of 4 connected displays.
