News AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is up to 31% faster than 7600 XT in early compute benchmarks

[Admin]

Early Geekbench tests show AMD's RX 9060 XT is allegedly between 25% to 31% faster than the last-generation RX 7600 XT.

Early synthetics may not mean much, but I think we'll see the 9060 XT 16GB fall behind the 7700 XT and 5060 Ti 16GB.

Navi 44 has a 10% larger die size than GB206 on a similar TSMC 4nm node, but it uses cheaper GDDR6 memory. At MSRPs, it will win on perf/$.

"While AMD asserts the RX 9060 XT 8GB is designed for the majority of gamers, engaged in esports at 1080p, critics are still questioning the firm's rationale behind this model."

8 GB gaming GPU's can exist and indeed are fine for a majority of gamers -- it's pricing that's the problem, not if they should exist or not. IMO, $300 *street pricing* is the absolute max that's acceptable for a new 8 GB gaming GPU. If this holds close to MSRP and slots between 5060 and 5060 Ti with 5060 8 GB street pricing going for $360-$400 in the U.S., this card DOES make sense for the "majority of gamers" umbrella phrase, including most eSports players.

However, it'd be really nice if next gen starts the $300 GPU class at 12 GB or more as a raising tide lifts all boats in PC gaming, but we've had this conversation plenty of times... ('nuf said).

Ehhhh, the 7700XT was closer to the intended Nvidia-equivalent being the RTX4060Ti at the time (since their new naming scheme would match the 9060XT to the 4060Ti/5060Ti)

Considering the 7700XT was almost 40% faster than the 7600XT makes this headline much less impressive.

I doubt the 9060XT 16GB will beat a 5060Ti 16GB, but it is "cheaper" than the 5060Ti 8GB model.
Street pricing notwithstanding
Question I have is... will it handily beat a B580? It's looking like the 5060 can't manage that either.

9060XT 8GB: "$300"
9060XT 16GB: "$350"
5060: "$300"
5060Ti 8GB: "$380"
5060Ti 16GB: "$430"
B580 12GB: "$250"

9070 also didn't do to well in synthetics. 9060 xt should be faster than 7700 xt.

9070 also didn't do to well in synthetics. 9060 xt should be faster than 7700 xt.

The 9070 XT is a little slower than the 7900 XTX in Tom's testing, and the 7900 XTX has 50% more CUs, bandwidth, and Infinity Cache.

The 7700 XT has 68.75% more CUs (54 vs. 32), 35% more bandwidth, and 50% more Infinity Cache (48 MiB vs. 32 MiB). If the 9060 XT 16GB can overcome that, it will be legendary. I think it will fall short... in rasterization. Just too many CUs in the 7700 XT. But ray tracing performance will be higher, you get 16 GB instead of 12 GB, and there's FSR4 support guaranteed.

The 9060 XT will be a good card that can live a long life with 16 GB, but it is pretty small, at 32 CUs again. Most of the good feelings towards it are going to be for undercutting the price of even the 5060 Ti 8GB. And that's only if there is enough supply to maintain the MSRP.

By that logic the 9070 xt should be been beaten pretty bad by AMD own 7900 xt. You can only really compare 9600 xt to card its AMD new RDNA four architecture cards. Its half the size of the 9070 XT while retaining the same clock speed. I would expect a reduction in performance of about 30-35 percent making pretty close or slight better than the 7700 xt.
