- AMD is reportedly preferring Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU for retailers
- This confirms rumors that it can cancel or close 8GB GPU
- If this is true, it may be an indication that the team will not push the Red 8GB GPU forward
AMD’s Radeon RX 9060 is on the XT GPU horizon (it is estimated to be launched in May), with 16GB and 8GB variants. However, a new report states that one of them may not be easily available to consumers at the time of launch.
As reported WccftechThe AMD can be set to prefer Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB version at the 8GB equivalent in terms of availability for retailers as per launch. BenchlifeIt comes after a rumor that was canceled or closed the 8GB model, and this new rumor definitely suggests that something is going on with the 8GB model.
Essentially, this means that consumers cannot see 9060 XT 8GB available on shelves or online retailers in addition to rare opportunities. If this is true, this low VRAM capacity may be a major sign of the future stance of AMD on GPU.
RTX 5060 TI of NVIDIA recently launched with 16GB and 8GB variants, with a lot of flakes later; Consumers have been expressing displeasure with the 8GB graphics card for some time, and the benchlife claims that it is AMD behind the possible case of prioritizing 16GB GPU.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT series is expected to be unveiled in Computex, with a potential launch on May 21 – but of course, it will not actually go on sale until June (looking at AMD’s Q2 2025 estimate). Regardless, it competes directly with RTX 5060, it is expected to be launched on May 19. Therefore, we can be for another fierce fight between these two technical giants.
Please, let it end the 8GB GPU …
If this rumor is valid, it suggests me that the team red is well aware that PC games are growing from the opinion that 8GB video memory is not enough for modern games in high resolutions. If anything is good to come from this, then we can soon see the end of the 8GB graphics card.
Triple-A games are not easy about the use of VRAM, and while the 8 GB VRAM is not completely useless, I would say that it is a limit for those looking for better performance. Gaming on 1080p is still the most popular resolution (as per) Hardware survey of steam), But more demanding games are enabled with high graphics settings, such as Cyberpank 2077 Or Black myth vukong8GB will eliminate GPUS.
It is worth mentioning the cost of GPU in this current market with inflated pricing; A prominent example is XFX Speedster Radeon RX 7900 XTX, Sold at $ 1,129.99 on best purchase (This is a three -year -old GPU), despite its $ 999 launch price. Such inflation looks very less attractive than other low-end graphics cards, as they no longer have low prices that justify the agreement made for performance. If you are going to spend that kind of money on GPU, you will be better than seeing more powerful cards.
Very at least, I think the modern graphics card should come with at least 12GB VRAM, because nothing will be reduced by 2025 and later …
