- A new list in a Swiss retailer shows the RADEON RX 9060 XT 8GB Acer GPU to $ 566 according to currency conversions
- AMD is expected to present the RADEON RX 9060 series in Computex together with the couple cards
- The price can be a position score, but GPU prices inflation can see that the price becomes a reality
The current GPU market is full of inflated prices for NVIDIA and AMD cards, which can mean bad news for the potential success of the next 8GB GPU, and it seems that this soon could be the case of Team Red.
As reported by WCCFTECH, the Acer Nitro Rroro Rx 9060 XT 8GB GPU has figured in a Swiss retailer at $ 566 (around £ 430 / AU $ 880), Swiss Franc convert. This comes along with the 16 GB model that appears at $ 620, and both GPUs are expected to be revealed in Computex 2025, which begins on May 20.
It is important to highlight the great possibility that these prices are position markers; This happened previously with the launch of Radeon RX 9070 XT, which revealed a launch price of $ 699 through Micro Center. Fortunately, that was a position score, since it was launched to $ 599, but that did not last long because the retailers significantly increased prices.
However, if the price of $ 566 for the 8 GB model is legitimate (or at least close to this figure), AMD and its partners could have a cost variant.
It is worth noting that Wccftech emphasizes that these prices are probably the position markers, since they also include listings for RX 9070 XT GPUs above the retail price. Anyway, the current status of the GPU market will probably lead prices to absurd levels, and Best Buy GPU listings are an excellent example of this.
If the retail price of the 8 GB GPU is close to $ 500, it will be dead upon arrival
I do not need to emphasize how lower is the 8 GB GPUs in 2025, since the negative consensus surrounding the RTX 5060 TI of Nvidia makes it clear. These GPU do not pack sufficiently vram to handle the heavy load that comes from games today, and I don’t think anyone is willing to pay more for a GPU that has a lower performance.
I am sure that the assumed price of $ 566 (based on price conversions) is a position marker, but that does not make me feel much safer, that is because the trend of couple cards and their prices indicate that it can possibly cost much more after launch.
This happened with the RADEON RX 9070 XT, which will now have difficulty finding at its retail price of $ 599. While no one should pay more than $ 599 for a GPU that is supposed to be of average range, RX 9070 XT is at least one GPU that is worth it. Potentially, the same cannot be said about the RX 9060 XT 8GB GPU, but I hope it works well.
This should be a warning for AMD and its partners; do No Price any 8 GB GPU in any place close to these prices, because I can almost guarantee that they will be dead upon arrival …
