GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16G Graphics Card, PCIe 5.0, 16GB GDDR6, GV-R9060XTGAMING OC-16GD Video Card

Great upgrade, if you’re coming from something that’s a few years old.
Weeks waiting for it since placing the order, but, it arrived, and is working out to be a good upgrade for a five-year-old GTX 1660. Despite the 9060 being the current entry level for the 9000 series, it’s a weighty card, considering a triple-fan shroud and metal backplate it’s on. It doesn’t “feel cheap.” It exactly fit my mid-tower case, with no room to spare – do check if it might be too long for your particular case.After installation, doing nothing special to prepare, Windows 10 switched to its basic driver and only the DisplayPort-attached screen of my two, would activate. HDMI didn’t turn on until Windows Update quietly did its thing, taking nearly 5 minutes to flip from 10% installing driver, to “done.” lol. I then went to AMD’s site for their Adrenaline package.For those criticizing price… for the last few years, it’s very hard to find what you want at or below MSRP, they can’t seem to make cards fast enough to satisfy the market. The markup I paid was modest, compared to ~$200 over, for the 9070 I might have got instead ;)My copy has a noticeable new-electronics odor, as various coatings and materials heat up, which I expect will fade over time, but it’s not OVERheating, and running cool.One of the first games I tried was No Man’s Sky, which I could never run at max settings in 1080p on the GTX 1660 without sub-30 fps and a headache. I can now run it at max settings in 1080p so much more smoothly, that it’s a night and day difference. NMS added XESS support recently, which has finally fixed jaggies and annoying dot crawls in fine details viewed at a distance compared to previous options. I run this in “native” mode, no upscaling. It’s not perfect yet tho, had some annoying distant-object flickers when I got to flying around, which could be the game’s fault, idk.No Man’s Sky also showed the advantage of considering the 16gb vram version: at max settings, this game is consuming ~10.5 gb. (Temps were running around 65c peak, and I could barely hear the fans.)Edit: Adding in September, that the NMS pop-in issue was fixed in a subsequent update. The card has been humming along flawlessly, since. It also performs decently in Cyberpunk 2077 with Ray Tracing options enabled, at standard HD resolutions, averaging around ~40fps (which is quite playable) – but, Path Tracing is a bit too much to ask of this card, dropping frames to around 20.It also features instruction sets needed for certain Ai-assisted apps, such as Topaz Gigapixel. Some upscale operations in that app process 5 times faster, compared to the 1660. And the diffusion-based Redefine options couldn’t be run at all, on the older 1660.I’m disappointed to see that Amazon has combined a prior generation Gigabyte card with the listing for the 9060 – be careful which review you are reading and if it applies to what you’re shopping for.

For the price it’s a great card ($315)
Update for July 2025: The 7600XT is still going strong. Not had one issue as of yet. Ive played almost every type of game so far on this card (mostly at 1080p ultra but Ive also played in 1440p and had noissues). Currently Ive been playing CP2077, Chrono Trigger and D4. As you can see the scope of games I play. I still cant suggest getting the 7600XT over the 9060XT. But the 7600XT is still a great card for its price (315-330) I wouldn’t pay 350 and up for it tho.Update: May 26,2025 if you’re looking to purchase this card I would hold off bc the RX 9060XT 16gb model drops on June 5th and the price for it will be around 350 and it looks like it will be way better. So definitely check out the 9060XT 16gb model bc currently the 7600XT is 359 and thats just not worth it. This 7600XT is a 300 dollar card but honestly it should be 250-275 at the most.UPDATE: March 14: I’ve had the card about a week and it can definitely handle games. I’m currently playing Monster Hunter Wilds and it’s working like a champ. I play at 1080p/1440p and this card can handle both good. 1080p ultra settings no problem but I wouldn’t say it’s a top of the line 1440p card but it does well for 300 dollar card. Its definitely a good value in this crazy GPU market if you can grab it for less than $330 usd.I’ve seen people complain about getting bad ones this happens with anything electronic. So I wouldn’t let those negative reviews reflect the card overall. The people complaining have every right to complain tho Bc buying a gpu that doesn’t work or stops working and cost 300 plus dollars sucks. My experience has been vastly different so far and if anything changes I’ll be sure to update. But so far 2 months in and it’s doing great!After finally receiving the product and getting it installed and updated I was relieved to see it works fantastic. After reading so many negative reviews I had my doubts. Shipping time is crazy long especially for buying on Amazon. I recently lost my build in a flood so going from a 4090 to this is a huge downgrade for me. I caught the card at the price of $315 usd.

Great card
Very good card for the price. Easy installing. Windows did the rest. Great for gamers.

Nothing to dislike as the card performs better than expected some lagging if I run the card on max settings.

Había estado ya un buen tiempo buscando una mejora a mi tarjeta gráfica, pero todas las opciones de Nvidia lucían demasiado malas para el precio que llevaban. Decidí cambiarme al equipo rojo y no tengo mas que halagos, los drivers son muy sencillos de actualizar, los precios son estupendos, el rendimiento siempre me impresiona, las temperaturas son buenas y no consume demasiada energía.Muy contento con mi compra.
