The information embargo on Radeon RX 9060 XT test results has been lifted. Let’s take a look at how the new Radeon stacks up against the competing GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. The 16GB variant is priced closer to Nvidia’s 8GB models and offers a better price-to-performance ratio than the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti. The more affordable Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT model adds great thermal and acoustic performance on top of that.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds – F1 24
The next tests are from the F1 24 benchmark at 3840 × 2160 resolution using Ultra settings. This benchmark runs five laps on the Singapore map in wet conditions. Unlike other benchmarks, the load is continuous, with no relief between loops, so the card remains warm throughout.
Clock speeds differ from those in Cyberpunk only by a few dozen MHz. During testing, the heated card maintained a clock speed between 2798 and 2849 MHz, with an average of 2830 MHz.
Power consumption monitoring again shows the card staying close to the 170W limit (light green line), with the rest of the system adding just under 100 W, bringing total system power consumption to 278.8 W.
The GPU’s average temperature during this phase reached 61 °C, memory hit 85 °C, and the hotspot maxed at 81 °C.
Fan speeds topped out at about 1940 RPM.
