Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

It’s AMD’s turn. After months of $ 2,000 + GPU and long discussions on DLSS, we are finally on the lawn of the red team. AMD’s strength is historically at the end of the spectrum budget, where the majority of players play 1080p and spend $ 1,000 or less for their entire system.

Even if we really recommend do a folies on a GPUIt’s just not the reality for most people. A GPU of $ 800 needs $ 1,200 in other games, and at this stage, most people who are not in PC games will start to buy an Xbox.

For less than $ 400, the Radeon RX 9060 XT manages to exchange blows with the RTX 5060 at a price similar to 1080p and advance in 1440p. If you look at both on the shelf, this card has a longer life and better performance in demanding games and higher resolutions.

I know that people want to get into performance, so I don’t want to spend forever on the physical aspects of the card. This WindForce OC gigabyte model is somewhat premium, with a completely metal rear plate which has a nice cut for cooling and three large fans. If you have the part, the additional fan will keep your system quieter and reduce the risk of thermal problems.

He always uses the power of standard Pcie to eight pins to which you are used, so don’t worry Upgrading your diet Or buy an adapter. I think that will make it a much easier upgrade path for the most part, which is crucial for the world of the GPU budget.

An interesting note on the model of the gigabytes that I received is that there is an RGB LED on the upper / outdoor corner. There is a small piece of sliding plastic with the Gigabytet logo that you can put it on to reduce the light, but you will need to use the Gigabyte software or another RGB LED controller to turn it off.

Benchmarks

Compare the cards with the same GPU manufacturer is simpler than the cross lines. The individual choices of developers and the use of different technologies can move the counter of a few percent, and this is often the difference between GPUs at the same price. Synthetic references can help us get a more precise view of the relative performance in a vacuum, with the least possible variance compared to the optimization of the game.
