AMD sends fewer 8GB versions of their new Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card to major tech reviewers. The company gives more 16GB models to bigger outlets instead. Small review sites mostly receive the 8GB version. AMD calls this choice a supply chain decision. The company says they want to match what different regions need.

Graphics cards with only 8GB of memory cause problems for new video games. Both AMD and NVIDIA make cards with the same names but different memory amounts. This confuses buyers who think the cards perform the same. Review tests show the cards actually work very differently. The 16GB versions run games much better.

AMD shares both versions with reviewers around the world based on what each area wants. The company says this matches how they sold cards before. Tech reviewers question this explanation since AMD never used this method for past launches. NVIDIA does not send their 8GB cards to as many reviewers for testing.

Early tests show the AMD 8GB card competes well against NVIDIA's RTX 5060 8GB model. Shoppers should read multiple reviews before buying either company's new graphics cards. Some reviewers already call the NVIDIA card disappointing. AMD hopes their card avoids the same judgment from tech experts.
