AMD RX 9060 XT Reportedly Launches Next Month As RTX 5060 Ti Rival

Expert Verified By

AMD's Answer To RTX 5060 Lineup!

Story Highlight
  • The RX 9060 XT is said to be launching in May.
  • Reports reveal the graphics card will feature 2048 cores based on the Navi 44 GPU.
  • The graphics card is also expected to ship in 8GB and 16 GB configurations, similar to those of the RTX 5060 Ti.

Nvidia recently unveiled the RTX 5060 series, which arrives tomorrow. With three graphics cards in the lineup, the series is expected to offer decent performance for its price, with the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB showing a lot of promise in particular.

However, AMD is also gearing up to release its own mid-range GPUs into the market. Following the largely successful RX 9070 series release, the RX 9060 XT is now expected to launch next month.

Why it matters: The RX 9060 XT could end up being a strong GPU that harkens back to AMD’s roots of offering solid mid-range options for decent pricing.

AMD’s RDNA 4 Lineup Has Been Quite The Success So Far

The new report comes from Chiphell, a forum known to be quite reliable for graphics card leaks. According to the forum’s editor, this RDNA 4 GPU will most likely be released in May.

Because the RX 9060 XT is expected to compete directly with the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, AMD’s decision to launch one month later could turn the tide in its favor. The gaming giant should be able to price the new graphics card appropriately based on the market’s reaction to Nvidia’s mid-range products.

It should be noted that the RX 9060 XT is expected to sport 8GB and 16GB configurations. It will also likely feature just 2048 cores and be based on the Navi 44 GPU, compared to the 3584 cores of the Navi 48 GPU of the RX 9070.

AMD’s 60-series has traditionally proven quite popular, with graphics cards like the RX 6600 and 6600 XT still relevant today.

Therefore, it will be interesting to see how AMD introduces this option into the market next month, especially given Nvidia’s recent launch of the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which will likely be a direct competitor to this GPU.
