I've noticed that most discussions focus on the RX 9060 XT, but I can't find much information about the RX 9060 (non-XT) model. Can anyone share their thoughts on whether the RX 9060 is a good choice for those on a budget?

A lot of people seem to think there’s no RX 9060 (non-XT) since it’s mostly an OEM card. The 9060 XT does come in 8GB and 16GB versions, but from what I’ve seen, the non-XT version is more of a lesser-known option that's not widely available. If you're looking at 1080p gaming, the 8GB variant might work, but you’ll struggle with modern titles at higher settings. Just keep in mind the VRAM limitations.
The RX 9060 is a cut-down version of the 9060 XT. It's decent for budget builds, but you'll be limited to older games or lower settings if you want to run things at 1080p with decent frame rates. Honestly, if you can spend a bit more, you might want to opt for a card with higher performance and more VRAM. But if it's part of a pre-built system in the $500-700 range, it could be a reasonable option at that price.
I found this card on a site, and you're right—there seems to be a RX 9060 out there, but it’s not very common. Most people recommend sticking with the 9060 XT if you can find it. The performance difference is noticeable, especially if you want to play modern games effectively.
Thanks for confirming! Looks like the RX 9060 is more of a niche product.
So, the non-XT exists, but it’s rare? What kind of performance can we expect compared to the XT?
