ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Leak Reveals 8 GB & 16 GB Models

Regulatory filings in South Korea and Vietnam have just uncovered four new ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT SKUs. Both Steel Legend and Challenger editions will ship in 8 GB and 16 GB GDDR6 configurations. With AMD teasing a Computex reveal on May 21, the midrange GPU wars—with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti staring down the barrel—are heating up.

Background: The RX 9000 Series Advances

Built on AMD’s refined Navi 3x architecture, the RX 9000 series offers notable enhancements in ray-tracing throughput and energy efficiency. RDNA 3’s chiplet layout and a 6 nm TSMC node deliver up to 25% lower watt-per-frame compared to RDNA 2. The top-tier RX 9800 XT launched last year for 4K enthusiasts; the upcoming RX 9060 XT is aimed squarely at 1080p and 1440p gamers.

Specs & Early Benchmarks

• SKUs: Steel Legend & Challenger – 8 GB / 16 GB GDDR6 @ 16 Gbps, 192-bit bus.
• GPU: Navi 32 die, ~2,304 stream processors, 32 ray-tracing engines.
• Clocks: Up to 2.7 GHz boost; ~180 W board power.
• Ray Tracing: ~30% faster RT cores vs RX 7600; hardware-accelerated mesh shaders.
• Early 3DMark: ~12,500 Time Spy Graphics score (vs. 11,200 on RTX 5060 Ti).
• Game Test: 112 fps avg. in Shadow of the Tomb Raider @1440p (RTX 5060 Ti: ~105 fps).

Pricing & RTX 5060 Ti Comparison

Whispers put the 8 GB version at a $299 MSRP, while the 16 GB model could land at $329. That undercuts the RTX 5060 Ti’s $319 launch price on memory capacity alone—and AMD’s extra VRAM may prove key for future titles. Power efficiency and ray-trace performance are neck-and-neck: Nvidia currently holds a slight lead in DLSS-enhanced titles, but AMD’s FSR 3.0 support narrows the gap.

Market Impact & What’s Next

ASRock’s sub-$330 16 GB card is primed as a mainstream upgrade, and partner bundles or financing offers could sweeten the deal. Watch for AMD’s Computex livestream on May 21 for official specs, custom cooler designs, and retailer pre-order dates. Stock shipments are expected in late June, with limited-edition launch bundles that may include game vouchers or extended warranties.
