Our verdict

GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G… is our pick.

For nearly every 2026 buyer, the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G is the better buy than the MSI RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black 8G OC.

Buy the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black 8G OC only if you need CUDA for a specific tool or have a small-form-factor build with a power limit near 300 W, and even then, wait until its price drops back toward its launch price. Buy the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G if you game at 1440p, want a card that will handle texture-heavy 2026 games, or want to run local LLMs larger than 8GB allows. It is the better choice at today's prices in almost every case.
