AMD RX 9060 XT Printed Circuit Board image leaks from Gigabyte factory visit
Unfiltered, Uncensored Insights on the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT
The Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card is hot on the market's heels after AMD's grand reveal, and a sneaky peek from Slovakia-based tech site HW Cooling during a Gigabyte factory tour has given us a tantalizing glimpse of this powerful card's PCB.
The codename for this PCB is 'R906XTG,' hinting that it's one of the Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming graphics cards from Gigabyte - either the 8GB or 16GB variant. Four RX 9060 XT SKUs have been announced by Gigabyte, all dual-slot triple-fan cards[1].
The image captures the Navi 44 GPU, already glimpsed at Computex, sandwiched between a quartet of SK hynix GDDR6 memory chips at 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. But here's the catch - we can't tell whether this is the 8GB or 16GB Gigabyte RX 9060 XT Gaming PCB due to the absence of the -16GB or -8GD Gigabyte short code in the model number[1][2].
The design features a single 8-pin power connector above and to the right of the central GPU and VRAM area, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface along the bottom edge. Alas, the decision to limit display outputs to three has not been met with open arms[3].
As for performance, availability, and pricing, we're left hanging on AMD's cherry-picked performance slides for now. The MSRPs for the 8GB and 16GB versions are alleged to be $299 and $349, respectively, with wide availability slated for June 5[4].
