Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB?

At 1440p (Ultra), the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB averages 165 fps in Forza Horizon 5 with a 142 fps 1% low, per Technetbooks. For local LLM inference it generates 845.0 tokens/sec running deepseekr1:8b at Q4 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In Geekbench 6 OpenCL it scores 102,750 points, per StorageReview. Its 16 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 13-17B-parameter models at Q4 with room for long context.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
