AMD RX 9060 XT GPU retailer listings start at $450

Online listings for AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT have started appearing online, with the GPU showing up on Amazon and another Swiss retailer. According to VideoCardz, XFX put up two versions of the 9060 XT — a dual-fan 8 GB variant priced at $449.99 and a three-fan 16 GB version that costs $519.99.

Both cards boast a boost clock of up to 3,320 MHz, slightly higher than the leaked reference specs of just 3.2 GHz. Popular hardware leaker momomo_us also shared a screenshot from a Swiss retailer showing Acer Nitro RX 9060 XT GPUs on X. The 16 GB OC variant is priced at CHF 556.70 (around $670), with the cheaper 8 GB OC costing CHF 508.30 (around $612).

It might seem that the 9060 XT is significantly more expensive than the RTX 5060 Ti series. After all, Team Green’s 16 GB version has an MSRP of just $429, with the 8 GB model set at $379. But if you check where you can buy these graphics cards, you’ll find that the $400 to $500 price range is about right, especially as many AIB partners offer models that sell at much higher prices than the manufacturer has recommended.

Furthermore, these could also be just placeholder pricing—after all, AMD has yet to officially launch these cards, and we do not have a whiff of the GPU’s MSRP. Still, we hope that the 9060 XT family will be competitively priced and that there’ll be many options at MSRP during launch, which is expected to be May 18.

What we’re not excited about, though, is the existence of an 8 GB variant for the 9060 XT. Many experts say that 8 GB of VRAM is no longer viable for modern AAA games, with Grok AI saying it’s “like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight”. We’ve even seen this with the RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, which loses up to 10% of performance when plugged into a PCIe 4.0 slot.

We do not know how the 9060 XT 8 GB will perform yet, as AMD has not released any information about the RX 9060 XT family yet. However, we do hope that reviewers can publish their findings on the GPU’s release date, allowing us, consumers, to determine whether these GPUs are worth the asking price.

Well if they rally are trying for $450 for an 8gb card then time to buy nvidia. Even nvidia has an msrp of $429 for a 5060ti 16gb. What’s sad is AMD always kind of played the card of being pro consumer and value for money, but they are showing they are willing to stick prices to consumers as well in the current market.

In other words when pc parts are concerned, be a fan of your wallet.

Well EU countries have around 20% VAT on hardware product in my country is 22%, but lets say 20%

I know that in USA you don't have it or i am mistaken have this month or last activate it.

450$ - 90$ VAT = 360$ for 8gb and probably there are going to be chipper version,

and this is old information, hardware stuff in EU are always expensive, this is more click and bait article

AMD isn't making any of their own cards so the AIB partners are setting the prices.

This just means that PC gaming is going to be for fanbois and the well-to-do. If you live on a budget it looks like consoles are going to be in your future. The renaissance was nice while it lasted.

This is a pre-release posting of an AIB "factory OC" model, and if I recall correctly, XFX had worse markups on 9070XTs than Powercolor or Sapphire. Checking the outgoing generation at three retailers, one only has XFX 7600's left, but the two that had other brands, the XFX cards cost $30-40 more despite having less of an OC. This is almost certainly NOT AMD's MSRP, although it might reflect XFX's initial street price.

The 5060Ti 16gb may have a MSRP of $429, but at the Central Ohio Microcenter the only model that you can actually buy is $529.99, and local sales tax takes the out-the-door price to $572.39. The only 5060Ti 8gb model they have in stock is only $10 shy of the 16gb model's "MSRP".

personally its amazon and some retailers are wild with pricing in uk it can be a diffrence between 60-80 pounds diffrence in pricing depending on the store. id take this pricing with a grain of salt.

On the 5060ti 16gb I only saw it once but I did score an msrp 5060ti 16gb at Microcenter.

I was trolling their website one Friday morning and they had 2. I was able to reserve it and picked it up on my way home from work.

This was the one I picked up. I think it was 471 with tax etc. But I know what you’re saying I keep constantly checking their website and most of the cards are about as overpriced as anywhere else, but if you’re fortunate enough to have a Microcenter nearby, they are one of the better places to get stuff.

legit stupid cost for 8gb.

msrp of a 9070 is $550 (XT at 600) and the difference in performance is much greater than the difference in cost between a 9060 :|

What is AMD smoking? Their goal was to drive up volume sales and thus marketshare, this will do the opposite for a TEMU nVidia GPU.

9070XT MSRP was $599.
9070 MSRP was $549.
9060XT 16GB MSRP is $519.
9060XT 8GB MSRP is $449.

Absolutely stupid to ONLY be $30 difference from a 9070.

The 9070 GRE needed to be $499.
The 9060XT 16GB needed to be $449.
The 9060XT 8GB needed to be $399.

That would have given you that $50 price point differential.

But $519? You are better off with the Geforce 5060Ti or Radeon 9070, making the 9060XT a pointless release.
