Asus TUF Gaming Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB OC Ed.: At the Peak

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.

Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds – Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition (P mode)

The next set of tests comes from Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition using Extreme settings at 3840 × 2160 resolution.

There are no major surprises in this last round of testing either.

GPU clock speeds ranged between 2765 and 2999 MHZ, averaging at 2864 MHz.

Power consumption remained steady right at the 182 W power limit.

Temperatures again were relatively low – GPU stayed at 55 °C, memory reached 86 °C and the hotspot peaked at 77 °C.

Maximum fan speeds during peak loads hit 1890 RPM.

AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets

We reported that Intel was preparing to raise CPU prices next month, but according to further information, the same was planned by AMD. Further sources have now confirmed that this manufacturer will also be raising prices. However, the scope of the price increases is to be much broader—it will affect not only CPUs, but apparently all chips manufactured by AMD. As a result, graphics cards pricing will rise further, but so will prices of motherboards. Read more “AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets” »

AMD Releases New Budget CPUs. Even for the AM4 Socket

It looks like whole ten years since the time AMD officially launched the AM4 platform (initially for the Excavator architecture and only on the OEM market, in 2016), a new CPU will now be released for this socket. But not a completely new one. AMD has now released two configurations that did not previously exist, but are based on 2020 and 2022 silicon, and the first of them is coming to the older platform using DDR4.

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »
