ASRock introduced the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Challenger Standard Edition graphics card. This custom-design RX 9060 XT 16 GB card is a variant of the RX 9060 XT 16 GB Challenger OC that comes with clock speeds slightly higher than AMD reference specs for the RX 9060 XT, but lower than those of the Challenger OC. The card ships with 2620 MHz Game clock compared to 2530 MHz AMD reference and 2700 MHz of the original Challenger OC card. The Boost frequency is trimmed, too, going up to 3230 MHz compared to 3130 MHz AMD reference and 3290 MHz of the Challenger OC. The memory is left untouched at 20 Gbps (GDDR6-effective).

The board design of the ASRock RX 9060 XT 16 GB Challenger Standard Edition is identical to that of the Challenger OC, with its tall, 2-slot, dual-fan cooling solution that uses an aluminium fin-stack heatsink. The card draws power from a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. Display outputs include two DisplayPort 2.1a and one HDMI 2.1b. Based on the 4 nm "Navi 44" silicon and powered by the RDNA 4 graphics architecture, the Radeon RX 9060 XT features 2,048 stream processors, 32 RT accelerators, 64 AI accelerators, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The card's 16 GB of memory is spread across a 128-bit wide memory interface. The chip features a full-width PCI-Express 5.0 x16 host interface. ASRock has given the box-art of this card an explicit "Standard Edition" badge, it doesn't just lack the "OC Edition" badge.
