CONCLUSION

    The Radeon RX 9060 XT series by AMD is aimed towards gamers playing at 1080/1440p resolutions and well, it’s good enough for that (depends on how many FPS you’d like to play with however). If I had to categorize the PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB I’d simply call it half as good as the PULSE Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB model and well, it makes sense since it costs roughly half as much (and is half the size). Temperatures and noise levels are at good levels as is power consumption although I have to admit I was expecting less (I also saw power consumption spikes surpassing 210W but those were instant and only like 5 times so as usual I didn’t record them in the charts).

    At the time of my review the PULSE AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Gaming by SAPPHIRE retails for USD379.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 405.60Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) so price/performance ratio is good. At the end of the day the SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Gaming is aimed towards gamers on a budget and since it does well it gets the Golden Award.
