AMD launches the "$350" Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM
RTX 5060 series killer, or not?
Editor's take: AMD has unveiled the Radeon RX 9060 XT, which comes in a bad version and a good version. The bad version is, of course, the 8GB model, and the good version – or potentially good, depending on how it performs – is the 16GB model. AMD has copied Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti homework here, giving both models the same name, which is sure to make it more difficult for consumers to find the good version.
