News AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB shadows the RX 5060 Ti 16GB in leaked benchmarks — only 5% slower despite big price difference

[Admin]

According to slides from a leaked review, AMD's budget RX 9060 XT 16GB at $349 appears to be 3-5% slower than Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti at $429 (MSRP).

The current USA street pricing for an in-stock 5060Ti 16GB is $480, or 11.6% over MSRP.
If a similar pricing trend happens with the 9060XT 16GB, it will be: $350+11.6%=$390.69

If the 9060XT(16GB) is 5% slower than a 5060Ti(16GB), the most you should ever fork out is $430 * 0.95 = $408.5.

The one consolation that it is a straight upgrade over a 7700XT, which doesn't get FSR4 or 16GB VRAM.

That is only if the 5060Ti is selling at MSRP. Since they are currently selling at $480, that increases the price/performance to $455. After that price then you are in the negative price/performance.

Anyone else think that the extra Nvidia features argument is over played?

For the most part, but there could definitely be situations where it could be beneficial, its very much a case by case and user by user basis.

So... the RX 9060 XT is actually 5% FASTER on PCIe 4.0 interface as the RTX 5060 Ti is up to 10% slower on PCIe 4.0 due to x8 half bandwidth...
The RX 9060 XT is perfect for older PCIe 4.0 systems, as it will start to bottleneck most PCIe 5.0 systems' CPUs.

It doesn't matter how much hardware you have in a computer you will always have a bottleneck somewhere. You could run a 9950X3D (or 9800X3D) with a 5090 and 32GB DDR5-8400 RAM with a RAID 0 PCIe 5 array and you will have a bottleneck somewhere.

I will wait for Jarred’s review and a few other reviewers I trust before forming my opinion. I assume the embargo expires on Wednesday.

Videocardz has a more updated review leak that shows 9060XT/16 to be slightly slower than 5060Ti/16 at avg FPS, but slightly faster at 1% lows. In other words, they're basically equivalent in perf.

Prelim pricing indicates MSRP will actually be viable for both, at least for some outlets. So question boils down to whether the DLSS (and CUDA) premium is worth the $80 or 23% price difference ($349 vs $429).

IMO, bang/buck slightly favors 9060XT, but it's a toss-up.

At the 8GB segment, 9060XT/8 will compete against 5060. The Radeon will be faster at same pricing, but slightly worse upscaling. As before, Radeon has better value, but Nvidia has better brand strength. Nvidia will likely continue to dominate sales.

I meant that 9060XT is more suitable for Ryzen 5800x or 5600x for balanced performance, and not fast enough for Ryzen 7600x and above.

You could run DLSS quality vs native for AMD for the hundreds of games that feature DLSS but not FSR4 and the average fps would be quite a bit different but image quality not so much. Especially at 4k.

Agree, it is a decent card for older 5.0 or am4 systems, but there are now dozens of 5th gen cpus for around $120-150. I am thinking something like the ryzen 7500f and 7600 that you can find new on ali, ebay, newegg. I would be comfortable with a 7400f, that would last years.
4th or 5th, for the price in todays market, these specs are promising.

AMD has a lot of flexibility and headroom if it can ensure a consistent supply at launch and in the weeks to come.

It'll be on shelves for the same $500 that the 5060 Ti 16GB is because the OEMs and retainers set the prices, not AMD, same reason the MSRP'd $429 5060 Ti is $500. Still, it's not that encouraging to see that AMD has not improved one bit on the 7700XT that MSRP'd at $450.

That still makes no sense. Just because you have a 14900k doesn't mean you need to have a 5090 as well.

9070XT is 7800XT replacement, 9070 is 7700XT replacement, 9060XT is 7600XT replacement, 9060 is 7600 replacement. The fact AMD can launch 9060XT at good price and have basically matched the 5060 Ti is excellent work as 7600XT was no match for 4060 Ti (16GB).

 

[usertests]

It's a nice result but Videocardz suspects it's an overclocked Swift or Sapphire model. I think it will be considered 5% behind the 7700 XT in the long run, but even the OC models will use less than the 7700 XT's 245W TBP. FSR4, 16 GB, and raytracing sweeten the deal, and PCIe x16 makes it a better choice for older systems than the 5060 Ti.

The bottleneck will exist in every machine... they never will give a perfect cpu or gpu. Always will miss something...
I have the worse combination of hardware possible. Enterprise storage, office cpu ( intel T) and lowest possible GPU. Game loading is crazy and the power and heat it's low as he'll

I will delete this 4060 and get the 9060xt
If the price is right and power.
