Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB vs GeForce RTX 5060: specs comparison

Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB came out in 2025 on the RDNA 4 architecture, GeForce RTX 5060 in 2025 on Blackwell. Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus (320 GB/s), GeForce RTX 5060 has 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus (448 GB/s). Power draw: 150 W vs 145 W. Recommended PSU: 450 W for Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB and 550 W for GeForce RTX 5060. Cores and clocks from different vendors are not directly comparable, so those rows are not highlighted.

In short. The table below is built from the official spec sheets. Green marks the best value in a row, and under the table you will see which resolutions the VRAM is enough for. This is not an FPS benchmark.

Which is better for 1080p, 1440p and 4K

  • 1080pEnough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB, GeForce RTX 5060. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5060 (448 GB/s)
  • 1440pBoth cards have less than 12 GB of VRAM — expect medium settings in new games.
  • 4KBoth cards have less than 16 GB of VRAM — expect medium settings in new games.

Based on actual specs: 8 GB of VRAM or more for 1080p, 12 GB for 1440p and 16 GB for 4K at high settings in new games. This is not an FPS benchmark: we don’t show scores we can’t back with a source.

FAQ

Which is better — RX 9060 XT 8GB or RTX 5060?
It depends on resolution and budget. By VRAM: 1080p: Enough VRAM on both: Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB, GeForce RTX 5060. Higher memory bandwidth: GeForce RTX 5060 (448 GB/s). 1440p: Both cards have less than 12 GB of VRAM — expect medium settings in new games.. 4K: Both cards have less than 16 GB of VRAM — expect medium settings in new games.. There are no FPS benchmarks in the table — check tests in the specific games you play.
How much VRAM do RX 9060 XT 8GB and RTX 5060 have?
RX 9060 XT 8GB has 8 GB of GDDR6 with 320 GB/s of bandwidth, RTX 5060 has 8 GB of GDDR7 and 448 GB/s.
What PSU do RX 9060 XT 8GB and RTX 5060 need?
The vendors recommend a 450 W power supply for RX 9060 XT 8GB and 550 W for RTX 5060. Power connectors: RX 9060 XT 8GB — 1×8-pin, RTX 5060 — 1×8-pin.
Why are the cores of RX 9060 XT 8GB and RTX 5060 not highlighted?
The “better” highlight on cores and clocks appears only when the cards come from the same vendor and form factor. NVIDIA, AMD and Intel cores are built differently, and laptop GPU clocks depend on the power limit set by the laptop maker.
Can I add a third graphics card?
Yes. Open the interactive comparison — the pair is already selected, you can add two more models and share the link.
Where do the specs come from?
From the official NVIDIA, AMD and Intel spec sheets — each model in the table header links to its vendor page. Bandwidth is calculated as “memory speed × bus width / 8”.
