The latest release from Team Red, the RX 9070 series, has garnered attention for its impressive price-to-performance ratio. The flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT, priced at $599, is positioned to compete against NVIDIA’s RTX 5070 Ti, appealing to the mid-to-high-end market. However, options for budget-conscious gamers have been limited. The introduction of the RX 9060 series marks a significant shift, as initial insights about this lineup have recently emerged.

According to information confirmed by AMD China (via MyDrivers), the Radeon RX 9060 GPUs are on track for a launch by the second quarter of 2025. This timing places them in direct competition with NVIDIA’s forthcoming 60-class models. Although specifics about the RX 9060 series remain limited, it is expected to utilize the Navi 44 architecture, a budget-friendly GPU solution featuring approximately 8 GB of VRAM, contingent on AMD’s strategic market positioning.

The launch of the RX 9070 series has redirected the attention of mainstream GPU consumers towards AMD. Consequently, NVIDIA faces challenges in marketing its upcoming releases unless they introduce unexpected features or pricing strategies. The RX 9060 series is forecasted to target the competitive price range of $400 to $500, appealing to budget gamers and effectively positioning itself against the GeForce RTX 5060 and its “Ti”variant.

If AMD follows a release strategy akin to that of the RX 9070 series, the RX 9060 is likely to be unveiled in April, just after NVIDIA’s 60-class graphics cards. Although no official confirmation has been issued, the GPU landscape is poised for intriguing developments in the coming months.
