Seems the three major retailers are offloading the base models of the RX 9060 XT 16GB. Several XFX and Powercolor models are available at ATL of $579. Very good price considering that we are getting below retail price early while US retailers are still selling these above MSRP. Some might say HODL for Black Friday / Boxing Day but I got a feeling that they won't be restocking base models once these are gone.

    much of a upgrade or downgrade over a 3070ti? just want fs24 to be playable

      only when it goes over 8gb vram

      About on par. If your issue is VRAM this should solve it for not much money (assuming selling your 3070ti)

    • zellenal on 16/07/2025 - 14:22

      Sidegrade in terms of speed but the extra VRAM makes a big difference, especially at higher resolution. Next step up is 9070 XT/non XT

      You can still get something for a 3070ti on the used market today. in 2-3 years from now 8GB cards will be very hard to sell as the PS6 and Xbox next will be 24-to 32GB's of memory that the GPU can use and any of their game ports wont even run on 8GB GPU's

      • dexx on 16/07/2025 - 22:47

        indeed a 3070ti would sell for well over $400

    Yeah this seems to be a good upgrade for those stuck on the older cards like the GTX series, and the rtx 2000 series. Anyone with a rtx 3070 or above should not buy this though imo

    • Jaspa7 on 16/07/2025 - 14:47

      been HODLing for a looong time on my 1070.. starting to itch for an upgrade, but still not really needing to

      • incipient on 16/07/2025 - 14:52

        Depends entirely on two things:
        - current card breaks
        - current card can't play the games at the fps you want

        I personally aim for 60fps, and look at an upgrade at 40-50fps.

        That was back when. I haven't run into that case in ages for the games I play - only recently upgraded when I moved to 4k monitors so needed something new.

    The PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is also still available at the same price.

    Fingers crossed for some sub-1k 9070 now…

    PCCG and Centrecom also selling at this price if you have retailer preference. But yeah this is probs best value entry level gpu given its like half the price of 9070xt

    This or RX 9070 for Bazzite/SteamOS PC?
    Will be using a Ryzen 7 5700X with this.

    • DellDealLols on 16/07/2025 - 14:58

      operating system doesn't really matter, what games are you going to be playing ? What resolution ?

      I'm on the 9070XT on 1440P ultra wide resolution and for the things I play it's more than adequate, but I dont really play anything that's super intensive.

      What do you want to do on the PC ? What is your expectation ?

      • FujinShu on 16/07/2025 - 15:05
        -1

        I want to build a SteamOS console that is capable of ML upscaling and ray tracing, like the PS5 Pro.

        • DellDealLols on 16/07/2025 - 15:11

          Those are features.

          What do you want to use those features in ?

          Raytracing, do you want lowest settings raytracing or highest settings ?
          Are you going to be using ray tracing at 4k ?
          What game(s) ?

          A great example is doom the dark ages 4k ray tracing is a thing the 9070XT can do and you'd be able to call it playable.
          But if you wanted to do that is say CyberPunk 2077 your experience is going to be that … well neither the 9070 or the 9060 will be able to give you a good playable experience … unironically you will want to buy a 5090 if that's your goal.

        Fair, but what if I play at 4K with console-quality textures instead?

    • taylor2207 on 16/07/2025 - 15:19

      I have an RX 9070 XT paired with a Ryzen 7 5700X (from a recent AliExpress deal) which I use for my living room Bazzite PC. Any of the 16GB 9000 series cards are a good option, just comes down to your budget.I use my setup for 4K resolution with XeSS ultra quality, or FSR quality upscaling. I'd always recommend spending as much as you can afford up front.

    • Erwark on 16/07/2025 - 15:39

      The only difference is speed. Look up some benchmarks for the games you want to play and decide if it's fast enough at 4K. Expect the same performance as Win11, if not better.

  • incipient on 16/07/2025 - 14:53

    but I got a feeling that they won't be restocking base models once these are gone

    It's, basically a brand new card. Why would they stop stocking it?

    • DuckWearingTopHat on 16/07/2025 - 14:56

      These models have Slimer margins for everyone involved (except the chip provider (AMD)) more money in sticking some RGB on increasing the manufacturers price by $100 and giving the store another $10 as well. So instead of swift you get to pay $200 more for the Mercury for the same performance.

  • tightfreddy99 on 16/07/2025 - 14:55

    Worth a upgrade from amd rx6600 or hold out

    • Mortgagetightass on 16/07/2025 - 14:57

      I'm in the same boat, this is about 60-70% faster and 2x the VRAM.. would love for this to be $499..

      But i think it's worth it, similar power draw too

    • taylor2207 on 16/07/2025 - 15:22

      Worth the upgrade if your CPU doesn't hold it back. A friend of mine recently upgraded from a RX 6750XT. The VRAM, raster and RT performance increase, along with FSR4 support is a big enough difference from that card to be worth it, so I would assume it would be an even better deal coming from an RX 6600.

    My 9070XT is the same model as this, and its been great, zero issues.

  • scotty on 16/07/2025 - 15:08

    How's the driver stability for Radeon? Currently having an RTX 2060 — it's okay'ish for my needs if I turn everything to medium/low, but every now and then NVIDIA driver update would stuff up the performance (& having to roll back the driver). As I only have a 550W PS I think 9060 XT would be the best value card to upgrade to?

    • kid-vhee on 16/07/2025 - 15:26

      I've been using AMD since RX470>RX580>5600xt>6900xt over the past 8 years or so. Have had little to no driver issues.

      Only one issue on the 6900xt where it caused Lightroom to crash, a roll back was done easily and fixed the issue. In some games, my mates on 3080 and 3090 had issues with new release games.

      To be honest, AMD driver issues haven't been a thing for a while and is a dated statement. I still use Nvidia for my friends build as they're less technical savvy.

      I've used nVIDIA in between, Quadro P520,P1000, P2000 and GTX 750m in a Laptop during uni days, great for what they can achieve, but starting to be overpriced in desktop GPUs.

      I'm holding out for Intel - ARC series so far have been great for me.

      • scud70 on 16/07/2025 - 15:36

        i've been using them since they were called ATI .. :| been a minute .. lol

      • destiper on 16/07/2025 - 18:54

        Can concur. I had an RX580 about 7 years ago, a 5700XT inbetween and now a 7800XT. Also had a 1050, 3070 & 3080 in that time as well. To be honest I had more annoyances with GeForce Experience and driver stability issues with the NVIDIA cards overall, when I first had to switch to AMD Adrenalin I found it a bit confusing but my radeon cards have been just as reliable, if not slightly better.

        Now that I use linux on desktop, it's been very nice having AMD graphics just work there too

    • zellenal on 16/07/2025 - 15:36

      gaming is very stable, no complaint there. utility is meh. i can't get performance overlay to show CPU usage outside of % utilisation (wattage, temp, etc…), may work after drivers installation then next update it's gone again, I just gave up. eyefinity is hit or miss too, i can't get it show in adrenalin

    How does this compare to a RX 6800?

    • vid_ghost on 16/07/2025 - 16:18
      +1

      Same performance maybe a little slower then a RX6800 in some games but faster in newer titles that provide driver optimizations or RT effects
      I upgraded from a RX6800 16GB to a RX9060XT 16GB because i wanted a white card for my all white PC.

      With the RX6800 16GB i couldnt run two monitors at 1440P @165hz without sitting at 28-34w idle power draw.

      Now with the XFX white 3 fan RX9060XT i can run two monitors at 1440P @165hz with 5-14w power draw. Tested this using a Sapphire RX9060XT 16GB and its also 5-14w power draw

      not even a RX6600XT would idle at 5-14w power draw it was always around 20w…. AMD must have fixed the 100% ram utilization when running 165hz monitors on the 9000 series cards. I'm so glad this issue was addressed finally.

      Sold my Asus Tuf 6800 in perfect like new condition for $440 on (OCAU Forum) so it was a cheap ($185) sidegrade.
      I would have upgraded for the idle power draw fix alone.. it was a very nice surprise

      The max use power draw is also much lower then the RX6800

        why not just turn your computer off when you're not using it?

        • vid_ghost on 16/07/2025 - 18:05

          5-14w GPU = Also while surfing the net, browsing OZBargains… :) Video playback (youtube) will jump it up to 30w but general PC usage keeps it low.

          I could never do that on RX6600XT or RX6800 the GPU memory was always maxed out at 100% usage when running dual 165hz monitors

    What kinda performance uplift should i expect if i've got a 5700xt?

    • melonfresh on 19/07/2025 - 16:07

      If you go to a reputable benchmark site like TechPowerUp or Gamers Nexus, look at a 9060 XT review and compare with the Radeon 6600 on their graphs it will give you a fairly solid idea of where the performance levels and improvements will lie.

      9070 XT is basically double the improvement over a 9060 XT for double the price, so you're basically limited by how much you want to spend. AMD's new architecture "UDNA" will probably be announced at the start of next year with availability around mid-end next year if rumors are to be believed.

  • jockmod on 22/07/2025 - 04:25

    • vid_ghost on 24/07/2025 - 19:55

      jockmod

      Given enough time it may drop further . :) all depends on demand

      Refurbished Available for $527 Thats a great deal for a card that will be pretty much "good as new" and still come with warranty.. It's most likely a restocking item or one that was used for a default configuration pre-built but upgraded during at request of buyer and was taken out/swapped
