Sapphire 11350-03-20G Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC Graphics Card with 16GB GDDR6 AMD RDNA 4

Sapphire is currently my favorite manufacturer of AMD video cards, and this card is great for what it is. It’s powerful enough to blow the doors off of most modern titles at 1440p and, if you pay around MSRP, it’s a great value. Unlike the RX 7600 [Navi 33] which was limited to PCIe 4x8, the RX 9060 XT [Navi 44] has a full PCIe 5x16 interface. While this doesn’t make that much difference per se, it certainly can if you’re planning to pair this card with a system with an older or more limited PCI bus (e.g. PCIe Gen2 or Gen3). In other words, this card has a fully implemented bus interface, which is good. 16GB of VRAM is good too, and no longer "future proof" since Unreal Engine 5's proliferation; the future is now. As usual, Sapphire’s implementation is easy to work on, lightweight, fairly compact and stays quiet despite cooling very well. This card is also classy looking, IMO, with subdued colors and no LED light show. This model has a very reasonable amount of overhead, though you’re hard limited at 182W for power. Expect edge temperatures in the mid to high 50’s Celsius under typical gaming loads, even when overclocked. The pre-applied Honeywell PTM7950 TIM probably helps out on the cooling front, you can’t do much better than that. Though if you do plan to push the card much beyond stock, it may be wise to disable Zero RPM and set a custom, linear fan curve; the junction temps can jump up pretty fast if you’re not actively cooling. Linux support is outstanding (make sure your kernel, firmware and Mesa stack are as current as possible for best results), and has been absolutely rock solid. All in all, I’d recommend this card to anyone who wants a good value card that’s easy to work on and performs well without being too flashy. EDIT: I've found that undervolting can help push the boost clocks quite a bit beyond stock without increasing temps much, if at all. I have two of these cards, and neither was stable with a boost offset until I undervolted by 50mV. EDIT #2: After a firmware update, I've found that I can set the wattage cap to 200W in software. Nice. Read more

Wow this card powers all my game all at max settings also with with my photo editing software,has a low power draw 6+2 connector and small case footprint,installation was a breeze,cost per fps are very good,has a zero cooling power option but I setup a curve since AMD memory runs hot while the GPU itself say under max load at 61c the mem may get up to 70c used it to replace a 3060 12gb Read more

I’m really happy with this GPU. Even with the high import charges, it still ended up being a bit cheaper than buying it in my country, so I feel it was worth the money. The graphics quality is great and the performance boost coming from my old Sapphire RX 570 is huge. It also runs pretty quiet, which I honestly didn’t expect. Installation was very easy, both the card itself and the drivers/software, everything worked without issues. Overall, it feels like a solid upgrade and a very good card. No regrets so far. Read more

The Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT is an outstanding graphics card with excellent performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The 16GB GDDR6 memory provides plenty of headroom for modern titles and creative workloads. It runs cool and quiet under load thanks to the efficient cooler design, and overclocked performance feels snappy with smooth frame rates. Installation was easy, and the RDNA 4 architecture delivers great visuals and responsiveness. Highly recommended for gamers and creators looking for a powerful GPU without breaking the bank!

very tight fit in my case. not because of the size of the case, but becausd the back bracket is thicker than others. my friend bought the XFX and his slid in like a dream. mine took some fandangling. the card itself works as intended and i get the performance expected of a 9060 16gb. overall a good card. i dont have any issues with coil whine like some others reported. card runs cool and i have no issues with the power connectors from my msi mag. that seems to be exclusive to the more power intensive 9070. clean look and the speed is great. i have an i3-12100 and still run most games on ultra without bottlenecking at around 90fps. more optimized games generate between 150-220 fps.

Quality is great. Bought for myself originally than I upgraded to 9070xt nitro+ but bought a second one of these and gave them to my boys who game all the time. They run most all games at Max settings with no issues at all no stutter no tearing no throttling. Size is compact enough one son has his in a compact case. Incredibly solid and best option for the price Read more

This has been playing all my newer games on higher (though not highest) settings without lag in 1080p. RE4, Silent Hill 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, MGS Delta, etc. Older games like Cyberpunk and God of War: Ragnarok are a breeze. The upscaling and framegen technologies are great features to have, but I prefer not to use them as they can result in some distracting graphical quirks. Raytracing is still probably not worth the squeeze with this one, but that was expected. The rest of my system is a mid-range prebuilt with an i7 from 2019. This was quite the upgrade from a 1660ti, and a good option for any older systems. My factory 500 watt power supply has no problems. In contrast to some people's experiences, I wasn't about to undervolt or overclock mine without stability issues. The biggest downside I've encountered is the 'coil whine'. I guess most modern graphics cards do it, but it took me by surprise because the loudest part of every card I'd ever had prior was the cooling fan. The fans on this 9060xt are comparatively quiet, but instead it'll actually make some light clicking noises even as I scroll up and down webpages, and louder buzzing sounds when under heavier load. That behavior made me think something was wrong at first, but apparently it's normal. I got used to it over time. Read more
