Video Description

The Radeon RX 9060 XT is powered by the new AMD RDNA 4 graphics architecture, which promises some of the company's biggest generational performance uplifts per CU thanks not just to the generational IPC increases of its shader units, but several improvements to the way they handle parallelism. AMD also worked hard on improving the memory management at the level of its shader engines, letting it hold onto older (and cheaper) GDDR6 memory. While the memory bandwidth increase over the RX 7000-series is modest, the memory management enhancements are akin to a generational upgrade in memory performance. Does AMD have a winner?
