Verdict
Our verdict on the RX 9060 XT 8 GB
A compact 1080p card that plays modern games fine but its 8 GB VRAM will feel tight in newer titles.
Get it if you want a quiet, cool 1080p card that plays modern games without fuss. Skip it if you play at higher resolutions or need more VRAM for future titles.
Buy it if…
- You want high-fps 1080p gaming without the power bill shock.
- You need a card that fits in a small case and stays quiet.
- You’re building a mid-range rig and don’t care about 4K.
