AMD Radeon RX 9060 non-XT has been tested, 13-14% slower than RX 9060 XT 8GB

AMD RX 9060 tested: 15% cheaper than 9060XT & 13-14% slower

Hardware Unboxed has published a rare look at AMD’s OEM only Radeon RX 9060. The reason we didn’t see much coverage on this graphics card is because it is not technically on sale, at least not on DIY market. They actually had to buy an entire prebuilt PC to test the card.

The RX 9060 is a cut down Navi

ASRock mentions “FidelityFX Super Resolution 4.1” for RX 9070 XT: new AMD feature or simple typo?

Is AMD preparing FSR 4.1?

ASRock either knows about AMD’s plans or did not check whether such an FSR version even exists.

First, let’s start with the most obvious question: does FSR 4.1 exist? Technically, the latest version is 4.0.2. AMD recently released FSR Redstone Ray Regeneration technology alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, so it is possible this is how AMD is now referring to this technology as a whole. That is the theory. In

MSI preparing RTX 5060/5070(Ti) DUKE 3X PLUS series

MSI lists 12 new RTX 50 cards, including the VENTUS Project Zero and DUKE 3X Plus series

No, there is not a single SUPER SKU on this list. We have not seen much happening on the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission) site for months.

Please note that this post is tagged as a rumor .

AMD reportedly reacts to memory price increases

A new post on the Chinese Board Channels forum claims that AMD has notified partners about a second price increase for its GPUs, this time tied directly to higher memory procurement costs. The post says AMD already applied a small adjustment around October that did not change retail prices, while the next hike is expected to be larger and cover all models, with no fixed implementation date yet.

AOOSTAR launches Thunderbolt 5 & OCuLink external GPU dock at $219

Aoostar EG02 costs $219

This is one of the best eGPU configurations you can build right now, but also one of the most expensive.

The AOOSTAR EG02 sits at the other end of the spectrum. It is one of the best equipped eGPU docks, with Thunderbolt 5 for the
