Following the recent release of AMD’s RX 9060 XT 16GB, we were eager to explore how AMD’s board partners would differentiate their custom models. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into three standout variants: the ASRock Steel Legend, PowerColor Hellhound, and Sapphire Nitro . Priced between ￡350 and ￡380, which of these partner-built cards comes out on top? Let’s find out.

Previously, we evaluated the ASUS Prime edition, but now we shift focus to three other custom designs. The ASRock Steel Legend stands as a high-end option, combining a sleek white-and-grey design with extensive ARGB lighting and a factory-applied GPU overclock. The PowerColor Hellhound, while more understated in appearance, is the most budget-friendly at ￡350 and still includes useful features such as a dual-BIOS switch. Finally, the Sapphire Nitro continues its legacy of refined design and premium build quality, though it commands the highest price at ￡380. We’ll examine how each of these models stacks up in real-world performance.

Let’s begin with a quick overview of the RX 9060 XT’s specifications. Built on the new Navi 44 die, which spans just 199mm2, this GPU uses a monolithic design—unlike the chiplet approach seen in RDNA 3. The Navi 44 die integrates 29.7 billion transistors.

As a full Navi 44 implementation, the RX 9060 XT features 32 Compute Units, each containing 64 Stream Processors, resulting in 2048 shaders in total. It also includes 32 Ray Accelerators (one per CU) and 64 Raster Operation Units (ROPs).

In terms of clock speeds, the RX 9060 XT leads the RDNA 4 lineup with a game clock of 2530MHz and a maximum boost clock reaching 3130MHz.

The card is available with either 8GB or 16GB of GDDR6 memory, running at 20Gbps over a 128-bit bus, delivering 322 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Additionally, it features 32MB of AMD Infinity Cache.

The RX 9060 XT has a Total Board Power (TBP) rating of 160W. However, we’re using an updated GPU power measurement method in this review, so keep reading for our most comprehensive analysis of power consumption and efficiency to date.
