News Tipster claims AMD's RX 9060 XT 8GB is planned to launch at Computex — Dismisses cancellation rumors

[Admin]

Despite all the talk of it being scrapped, it seems that AMD's RX 9060 XT 8GB GPUs are still in the pipeline, and set for launch at Computex, per Benchlife.

DOA, dust collector, useless space occupier of shelves and warehouses, unless <$200.

 

[3ogdy]

The x60 series must be $200 cards.

 

[hotaru251]

and the main reason is, as mentioned earlier, it is entirely due to the reaction of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.

So likely performance is either not much better or its worse and they planned to launch at a price too close to it and know if they do they will get bad feedback and are deciding to lower price or to just accept the backlash.

 

[Eximo]

6650 XT hovered around the $250-260 mark when it was common. I would expect that to be the floor for this card.

An RX 9060 at $200 to replace the aging RX 6600 would be welcome.

 

[oofdragon]

Thanks God we don't live in a planet with limited resources where we would need to literally carve holes in the planet destroying nature around just to make garbage products like this, we are also lucky to not be going through financial collapse and exploding inflation so we can buy garbage products like this without thinking twice

 

[palladin9479]

This nonsense ... again ...

 

[ManDaddio]

8 GB cards exist so that it forces people to buy the 16 GB cards.

Just like Amd release the 9070 right next to the 9070 XT which doesn't make any sense at all except to upsell.

Nvidia didn't even do that. They at least put some separation between their cards.

 

[usertests]

If they put 8 GB in a $150 RDNA4 card, maybe I'll buy it.

Edit: For comparison, the RX 6600 was available under $200 in 2024, RX 6650 XT for $220, and the RX 6500 XT was from $100-150 over years. That's the card that could use a sequel, and we've seen leaks suggesting 9050/9040 could exist.

 

[Mr Majestyk]

AMD watches the reviews trashing Nividia for the abomination known as the 5060Ti 8GB and then says yeah, we would like a piece of that action too. Just like Nvidia the should have called the 5060 (Ti) 8GB the 5050 (Ti) 8GB and cut prices $50+, AMD should only launch the 9060 8GB as 9050. They could offer a 9060 12GB and 9060XT 16GB

if true it has to be between 100-200 pound mark

or 100-250 usd mark in usa.

they cant be as stupid as nvidia

Where's my 9090 XT or at least 9999 XT?

1. These cards were planned long before Nvidia reviews, we even got the leak that there would be 9060 XT 16GB and 9060 XT 8GB before reviews.

2. 12 GB is unlikely since they are using 128-bit and GDDR6 for Navi 44. The 9070 GRE is the only easy way to do 12 GB and that's a China-exclusive and may be too cut down to be widely sold.

3. 9060 XT 8GB is not too bad if it offers something like RX 7600 +30% perf, at an MSRP of $250. I think most of us expect it to be too expensive though, like $300. Vote with your wallet and ignore the card if it looks like junk.

4. As far as names go, this is what has been floating out there:

9060 XT 16GB
9060 XT 8GB
9050
9040

Leaks have said that there won't be a 9060 non-XT. That could always change, of course.

The bottom three are likely 8 GB or less, and any of these cards could be considered "good" if the MSRP and street pricing are low enough. Nvidia RTX 3050 6GB still sells for $180, and an RX 9040 should be able to beat that easily.

Where's my 9090 XT or at least 9999 XT?

Best I can do for you is a 9080M. 😛

9060 might be saved if they offer it on a x16 lane then older platforms could use it

That and low profile which amd painfully lacks.

They may also just lock them down to prebuilts.

I'll be shocked if any of Navi 44 supports x16. It's probably x8, and they'll be tempted to do x4 for any 6400/6500 XT successor. But I think PCIe 3.0 x8 with 8 GB might be enough. It'll be figured out by reviewers.

Definitely want to see low-profile, 75W.

Yeah I doubt it but since there using slower gddr6 chips I could see it.

At very least they need at least 2 low profile cards single slot and duel I can see sapphire releasing them. Or asrock now that there dipping there's toes into GPU space more. 75-120w should be possible.

They managed it on the Nvidia side. Since these gpus are 1 die not chiplets should be easier to manage.

I think people need to realize that with the 40 series nVidia renamed it's product stack, the old 50 models got renamed to 60 models, 60 got renamed to 70 and so forth. AMD just renamed their stack to match nVidia's cause non-enthusiasts sometimes struggle to know what to compare to what. All these xx60 are entry level or low mid range cards for 1080/1440p high or less gaming. Why people expect much from what is essentially a 4050/5050 tier card IDK.

I think you need to realize that there is clearly demand for low power cards, as seen with the 3050 6GB selling well, with low-profile variants easily going for $200. People are losing their minds over 8GB right now, when the best 75W low-profile consumer cards (that or the Intel A380) are stuck at 6GB.

RX 6400 was 12 CUs, based on a 16 CU RDNA2 die. The "9040" name has shown up in leaks/rumors. If it shows up in real life, being based on Navi 44, it could easily have 20-28 CUs and 8 GB. That would blow the 3050 6GB out of the water, as well as the 3050 8GB, maybe even matching the RX 6600. It would also support FSR4.

Give me that for $150-200 and I'm good to go at 1080p.

low powered cards are always welcome in europe.

9040 could only be a oem part. the only reason the rx 6400 limped out of the gate was because of pandemic it was a card they never intended to make.

i think its possible we will see a 14 cu part

heres where i think the product stack will go



9060 xt we already know is 32 cu



9050 20 cu

9040 14 cu ( possible the rx 560 existed in low power form)

 

[usertests]

9050 20 cu

9040 14 cu ( possible the rx 560 existed in low power form)

I feel that's too pessimistic. Navi 44 is a small die that ought to have high yields. Here's some low-end cards with % of the CUs:

RX 5300, RX 5300 XT, RX 5500 (all OEM only), and RX 5500 XT = 22 CUs of 24 (91.7%)
(I don't think there was a full Navi 14 card with all 24 CUs.)
RX 5600 = 32 CUs of 40 (80%)
RX 5600 XT and RX 5700 = 36 CUs of 40 (90%)
RX 5700 XT = 40 CUs full

RX 6300 (OEM only) and RX 6400 = 12 CUs of 16 (75%)
RX 6500 XT = 16 CUs full
RX 6600 = 28 CUs of 32 (87.5%)
RX 6600 XT = 32 CUs full

Radeon Pro W7500 = 28 CUs of 32 (87.5%)
RX 7600 (both XT and non-XT) = 32 CUs full

There were Pro cards matching the 5500/6300/6400, but we never got an RX 7500 for consumers.

An RX 9050 positioned to compete with the leaked RTX 5050 would probably use similar power (~130 Watts) and could have 28/32 CUs. Then the RX 9040 could have 24/32 CUs, 75% like the good ol' RX 6400.

A missing GPU is the 9060 non-XT, which some claim will not exist.

the issue with the past was amd was spitting out cards left and right i dont think they will this time around i think a solid 4 cards is the aim.

that means they can focus on optimisation i actually think the 9050 will come in 2 flavours a 75w and a oc version. the reason is this time around the chiplets are not on these cards so its easier to power manage less complex. i also feel like this is what rdna should have been from the start.

we may see another 6700 in the wood work non xt down the road from failed 9000 version.

yeah i think the reason we never got cards of the rx 7400 and rx 7500 was the chiplet headache or they were repurposed for some other project. the issue with the chiplet design was the power was out of whack on these cards get the feeling the card falls of a cliff in performance.

its funny that card manufacturers seem to break something gen.

5 series broken
6 series fixed low power/ odd image quality ( my experience )
7 damn broke something again power.
9 fixed. and fixed image quality. no more glitchy fsr water textures.

I would like that. There have been some leaks suggesting a 9040 will happen though, and with the RTX 5050 apparently using 130 Watts, I think 9050 would aim high to counter that. I don't know of a recent precedent for having very different TDPs but the same name.

Navi 33 was actually monolithic on TSMC N6 while Navi 31/32 used the TSMC N5+N6 chiplets. Every consumer N33 card sold had fully enabled 32 CUs, and so did the Pro W7600.

The Pro W7500 was the only thing cut down, with 28 CUs. It also had a 70W TDP and 8 GB, so we know it's possible to make such a no-compromises card for the low profile market segment. I'd probably buy a W7500 if it was cheap... but it's like $380+ on ebay and Newegg. RIP.

nothing recent but the rx 560 had 2 diffrent tdp.

it had a 75 watt version thats sitting on my desk both oem and asus.

granted these were 2gb and 4gb cards basicly they added another pin connector for more ram.
clock bump. etc.
