AMD tested its new Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card using Geekbench software. The chip performed worse than the older RX 7700 XT model from last generation. The test results surprised many computer enthusiasts, who had expected better numbers. The company plans to sell two different memory versions of this gaming card. Benchmark scores appeared online for the first time this month.

The graphics card uses advanced 4nm manufacturing technology from TSMC. Clock speeds reach 3.13 GHz out of the box for maximum performance. Custom versions from other companies might run even faster at 3.2 or 3.3 GHz. Power consumption ranges from 150 to 182 watts, depending on the amount of memory. AMD offers both 8GB and 16GB versions at different price points.

Geekbench testing showed mixed results for the new graphics processor. OpenCL scores reached 109,315 points, which beats the RX 7600 XT by 31 percent. The same card scored 14 percent lower than the competing RX 7700 XT model. Vulkan tests produced similar outcomes with the RX 9060 XT falling behind older hardware. The 16GB version costs $349 and the 8GB model sells for $299.
