AMD has announced the Radeon RX 9060, a new budget-friendly graphics card aimed at 1080p gaming. Revealed alongside a new driver update, this card is built for pre-built PCs and won’t be sold separately in stores. Here are its specs, performance, and driver details.
The RX 9060 uses AMD’s Navi 44 XL GPU, part of the RDNA 4 architecture, made on a 4nm process. It has 28 Compute Units, which means 1,792 Stream Processors, fewer than the RX 9060 XT’s 32 Compute Units.
The card comes with 8GB of GDDR6 memory running at 18 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, giving it 288 GB/s of bandwidth. Its power draw is low at 132W, so a 450W power supply is enough.
The boost clock is around 2,990 MHz, slightly slower than the RX 9060 XT’s 3,130 MHz. It supports PCIe 5.0 for faster data transfer and DirectX 12 Ultimate for modern gaming features like ray tracing.
For 1080p gaming, the RX 9060 delivers solid performance at ultra settings. AMD’s tests show it hitting 108 FPS in Assassin’s Creed Mirage, 98 FPS in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, 153 FPS in DOOM Eternal with ray tracing, 100 FPS in Resident Evil 4 with ray tracing, 67 FPS in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, 188 FPS in F1 24, 106 FPS in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and 120 FPS in God of War: Ragnarok.
These numbers make it a great choice for smooth 1080p gaming without needing tricks like frame generation.
The RX 9060 comes with AMD’s Adrenalin driver version 25.8.1, which adds support for new games like Mafia: The Old Country, Mecha Break, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and the Valorant Unreal Engine 5 update.
It also supports the Battlefield 6 open beta. The driver includes FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) for better performance in supported games, though only a few titles use it so far.
Price and Availability
This card is only available through select system integrators, meaning you’ll find it in pre-built PCs, not retail stores. No official price has been shared, but it’s expected to be cheaper than the RX 9060 XT, which starts at $299.
