Performance and Compute
Powered by 2,048 shader cores and reaching a boost clock of 3,130 MHz, the RX 9060 XT delivers 25.6 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This capability handles demanding rendering workloads and high frame rates smoothly.
Hardware encode support includes H.264, HEVC, and AV1. This gives content creators efficient streaming and video export options without straining the system.
Memory and Bandwidth
Equipped with 16 GB of Gddr6 memory on a 128-bit bus, the card achieves a memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s. A memory speed of 20 Gbps pairs with a 32 MB last-level cache to feed data efficiently.
The 16 GB capacity provides ample room for high-resolution textures in modern games. Buyers should note the 128-bit bus width limits extreme ultra-wide bandwidth scaling compared to wider interfaces.
Power and System Fit
Board power sits at 160 W, requiring a recommended PSU of 450 W and relying on a single 8-pin power connector. This keeps thermal and electrical demands moderate for most standard power supplies.
Compatibility includes PCIe 5.0 across 16 lanes for high data throughput. Display outputs feature HDMI version 2.1b and DisplayPort version 2.1a supporting up to 3 displays, though reference-design I/O provides 1 HDMI port and 2 DisplayPort ports which partner cards may alter.
