AIB Leak "Reconfirms" Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB & 8GB Memory Configs

[T0@st]

Last week, Acer registered a glut of new graphics card SKUs—an extensive EEC filing revealed several unannounced Nitro and Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9060 XT models. The AMD board partner seems to be preparing two memory configurations for its lower-end RDNA 4 custom cards: 16 GB and 8 GB (GDDR6). VideoCardz reached out to AIB industry moles, in order to establish whether the aforementioned specification points were concrete. A past weekend report "reconfirms" incoming 16 GB and 8 GB variants. Going back to RDNA 3, Team Red released its Radeon RX 7600 XT GPU in 16 GB form, while the cheaper Radeon RX 7600 made do with a VRAM pool of 8 GB. An unnamed board partner's list of launch day offerings reportedly contains basic technical specs (see screenshot below).

Leaked Radeon RX 9060 XT details show 16 GB GDDR6 and 8 GB GDDR6 variants, with 128-bit memory interfaces. VideoCardz believes that 20 Gbps memory chips will be utilized, as featured on recently launched Radeon RX 9070 series cards. The leaked product list indicates that required juice will be delivered through a lone 8-pin power connector; a minimum PSU requirement suggestion is 500 W, although this could jump up to 550 W for factory overlocked SKUs. A speculative "Navi 48 LE" GPU variant is present within TechPowerUp's GPU database entry for the Radeon RX 9060 XT. VideoCardz reckons that a "Navi 44" GPU would be more appropriate for this class; perhaps derived from a mobile part. The leak suggests the presence of a single HDMI 2.1 port, as well as two DP 2.1 ports—a smaller GPU would have trouble driving more than that. During an official RDNA 4 launch event—held in Beijing, late last month—a Team Red representative announced a loose Q2 2025 launch window for Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards.

Neither Nvidia or AMD consider Intel a competitor, that's why they ignore the fact that Intel is already offering over 10GBs VRAM to the sub $250 market. Hope Intel does better in that market.

I was hoping the 9060XT would be a 192bit 12GB card. By making the 7600XT a 16GB card, i guess they don’t want to go “backwards” in specs, even though 12GB/192bit has got to be a better configuration for actual performance. Maybe we’ll get a 9070 GRE or something to fit that bill.

One low profile please.

Likewise. Offering 8GB in the lower end when there is a 12GB card already there is pathetic. AMD might offer more VRAM in the mid to upper range but their budget cards are as low in VRAM as NVIDIA.

Maybe oneday we'll get a low profile monster of a GPU. The LP 4060 was really cool.

you do know that there are millions of users that don't even need 4GB, let alone 12GB, those are the everyday user / business user where all they do is do very light GPU needs, and the integrated GPUs don't meet their needs

For gamers, it's a different story, and the AIBs should have cards with more VRAM, but, it's pretty obvious the reason they don't do it is because the market is just not there for them to have multiple lines with VRAM being the only difference, and they rather have people pay $50-$100 more for the next model up

I'd argue the people buying these cards aren't everyday users. The moment you're buying your own parts and building a PC you're at least stepping into enthusiast territory. AMD and NVIDIA will still sell these cards of course but I would place bets that the people buying them are going to run into VRAM limitations.

That card should be 192bit and 12gb
AMD just slap our faces

Just cancel the 8gb card and save on the embarrassing headlines, GDDR6 is not that expensive and AMD needs to pump those market share numbers.

That card should be 192bit

Why, because bigger number equals better? 192bits would be better than 128, but unless someone started making 12Gb or 24Gb dies it would limit the card to 12GB (or 24 but let's be realistitc on what a sub 500 card will have) which is worse than 128bits 16gb.
