At the top of Asus’ new Radeon lineup is the TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6 OC Edition. A large cooler with three fans, combined with a smaller, more power-efficient GPU, allows the card to deliver excellent cooling and low noise levels. It’s one of the quietest and best-performing RX 9060 XT models available. The only downside is its price, which reaches the level of entry-level GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB cards.
Cyberpunk 2077, RT Medium, 3840 × 2160
The first test data comes from Cyberpunk 2077 with RT Medium settings at 3840 × 2160 resolution. The test consists of eight consecutive benchmark loops. The graph shows the final loop, from which the average value of a warmed-up card is calculated.
Frame rates indicate that a less demanding test setup might be more appropriate for evaluating operating characteristics. Still, the GPU is fully loaded and running right at its power limit.
The clock speed of the warmed GPU ranges from 2821 to 2971 MHz with an average of 2877 MHz.
According to power monitoring (light green data line), the card stayed right at its 182W power limit.
The dark-colored line in the graph shows the total power consumption of the PC as measured by a UT71E multimeter. The average system power consumption under load was just 287 W, a relatively low total helped by reduced CPU load.
The average GPU temperature peaked at 61.0 °C, memory at 90 °C, and the hotspot at 84 °C.
The fan speeds during peaks reached just 1193 RPM.
