AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB — Benchmarks & Specs

8 GB VRAM150W TDP$299 MSRP2025

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB generates a median 58.9 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 6 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub, RunAIHome, parsapp/rx9060xt-llm-benchmarks, Quantized.fyi and LocalLLaMA. Its 8 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (8 of 23 models fit). At the $459.99 Amazon price checked 9 h ago (prices change), that is 128.0 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.

Who should buy this instead: the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB's 8 GB puts it in the 8 GB tier of the local-LLM GPU picks by VRAM (one card per tier, each with cited tok/s). If they need more than 8 GB, start at the 12 GB pick.

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB?

SpecPicks median: 58.9 tokens/sec across 6 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 16.0–70.5 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub (2 runs), RunAIHome, parsapp/rx9060xt-llm-benchmarks, Quantized.fyi, LocalLLaMA. At the $459.99 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 128.0 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: qwen3.5:9b at q4_K_M generates 50.1 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per parsapp/rx9060xt-llm-benchmarks. At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB averages 73 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 with a 60 fps 1% low, per GPU Battle. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 19,749–19,807 pts, across two PassMark results (PassMark GPU benchmark listing: 19,807 pts, PassMark GPU benchmark listing: 19,749 pts). Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the qwen3.5:9b run above (9B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.

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; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
