AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP: New Low-Power Desktop Graphics Card

Key Takeaways

1. AMD has introduced a new variant of the Radeon RX 9060 XT called the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP (Low Power), completing its RX 9000 series lineup.
2. The RX 9060 XT LP features 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and maintains a memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s, similar to the existing 16 GB version.
3. Both the RX 9060 XT LP and the original 16 GB variant have the same GPU architecture with 2,048 cores and 32 Compute Units.
4. The Typical Board Power (TBP) of the RX 9060 XT LP is 140 W, reduced from 160 W for the original version, with a lower Boost Clock of 3,050 MHz.
5. Currently, the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is expected to be available only in China.

AMD has stealthily introduced a new variant of the Radeon RX 9060 XT, completing its lineup of Radeon RX 9000 series cards from earlier this year. To summarize, the company already provides the RX 9060 XT in two versions: one with 8 GB and another with 16 GB of VRAM (currently priced at $379 on Amazon).

New Addition to the Lineup

Now, AMD has unveiled a third variant that fits in between the two existing options. This new model is called the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, where “LP” denotes Low Power. At first glance, there seem to be minimal differences between this new card and the original 16 GB version. For example, the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP still comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM running at 20 Gbps on a 128-bit bus.

Technical Specs

As a result, the new card aligns with the original 16 GB version, boasting a memory bandwidth of 320 GB/s. It also keeps the same 2,048 cores and 32 Compute Units, consistent with it being equipped with a Navi 44 XT GPU. Nonetheless, AMD differentiates the two cards based on their Typical Board Powers (TBP).

Moreover, known as TDP or TGP, AMD rates the existing 16 GB variant at 160 W and advises a 450 W power supply. While this recommendation stays the same, the TBP has decreased by 20 W to 140 W, which corresponds with a reduction in Boost Clock from approximately 3,130 MHz to 3,050 MHz. At this moment, the performance differences between the two cards are yet to be determined. Presently, the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP is anticipated to be available only in China.
