These listings suggest that Acer is gearing up for a showcase of this model at the upcoming Computex event, which is set to take place from May 20th to May 23rd.

Design Features and Specifications

While the retailer listings do not include images of the GPU, preliminary leaks have revealed that the Nitro RX 9060 XT will feature a sleek gray shroud and a dual-fan cooling system. Each unit will utilize a single 8-pin PCI-E power connector and will be equipped with three output ports, confirmed as 2x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI.

Price Analysis

The listed prices are likely placeholders rather than official MSRP. For comparison, previous leaks suggest that the RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs are being listed above their expected costs. When converting the 16 GB RX 9060 XT’s price of 556.70 CHF from Swiss Francs to USD, we see a figure of around $683. After accounting for Switzerland’s 8.1% VAT on computer components, this price adjusts to $620. Notably, this is significantly higher than the anticipated cost for the Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, suggesting caution in interpreting these figures.

The 8 GB edition appears at 508 CHF, translating to about $612, or $566 excluding VAT. Recent discussions have posited that the expected retail prices for the RX 9060 XT will be closer to $400 for the 16 GB variant and below $350 for the 8 GB model. It remains uncertain whether Acer has plans for a Predator series RX 9060 XT, akin to its offerings for the RX 9070 series.

Cooling Solutions & Upcoming Specifications

Unlike the RX 9070 series, which includes triple-fan models, the RX 9060 XT series is expected to incorporate dual-fan cooling solutions due to their lower power consumption. AMD is set to officially reveal comprehensive specifications for the RX 9060 XT at Computex, which are anticipated to include 2048 stream processors, options for 8GB or 16GB of VRAM, a 128-bit memory bus, and a total design power (TDP) around 200W.
