🔥 Sapphire Nitro RX 9060 XT Review – vs 5060 Ti, 9070 XT, and 4060!
AMD just dropped the RX 9060 XT, and in this review, I put it head-to-head with three cards:
🔥 Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT
❄️ MSI Ventus GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
🧊 ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 (8GB)
The goal? Show you raw performance — no FSR or DLSS — across synthetic benchmarks, Cyberpunk 2077, and Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p, 1440p (2K), and 4K. I also included temps, power draw, and pricing to help you choose the best bang for your buck. I had Black Myth Wukon but I messed up, I explain it in the video.
💵 MSRP at launch:
RX 9060 XT (Nitro+): $399
RX 9070 XT: $599 (currently $700+)
RTX 5060 Ti: $430–$500
RTX 4060: $299–$320
📊 Key Takeaways:
The RX 9060 XT trades blows with the 5060 Ti in raster performance — close in most tests.
Ray tracing still favors NVIDIA slightly at this tier.
The RX 9070 XT dominates, but at a much higher cost.
The 4060 struggles with ray tracing and 4K, but is playable at 1080p.
💡 Extras on the RX 9060 XT (Nitro+):
Lower temps vs competition 🔥
Triple-fan cooler and large heatsink
Built-in ARGB + SAG bracket
ARGB sync via TRIXX or motherboard
🧪 Benchmarks included:

📌 I’ll follow up with gameplay + FSR/DLSS comparisons and an install guide for the 9060 XT. Stay tuned and let me know what games you want tested!
