AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT released globally: What you need to know before you buy?
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT delivers solid 1080p and 1440p gaming performance. It matches the performance of the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti but at a much lower price. In benchmarks, it performs significantly better than the previous RX 7600 XT and matches the RTX 5060 Ti at 1440p.
It is capable of running most modern titles at about 70 FPS at 1440p, which is commendable at this price point. The RX 9060 XT can also run modern titles up to 4K at playable frame rates, thanks to the FSR 4 upscaling technology released earlier this year.
Ray tracing has substantially improved over the years in AMD's GPUs but still lags behind NVIDIA's DLSS 4 and frame generation technology for ray-traced workloads. It can deliver playable frame rates at 1440p with ray tracing enabled, but performance significantly drops at 4K with path tracing enabled.
The RX 9060 XT features FSR 4, powered by second-generation AI accelerators, which boosts frame rates and image quality. The HYPR-RX suite includes Radeon Super Resolution and Fluid Motion Frames for even smoother gameplay.
This GPU is ideal for anyone looking for high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, along with extra VRAM for future titles. It suits gamers who want to save money without compromising on modern features like AI upscaling and ray tracing. AI hobbyists can also benefit from the card's robust AI acceleration capabilities.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT was officially launched globally on June 5, 2025, with two models varying in VRAM. Official AIB partners like ASUS, MSI and Sapphire may release the GPU with pricing between ₹44,999 and ₹49,999 in India.

China summons Nvidia executives over H20 chip security risk; says: Submit supporting documentation and explain the ....
Nvidia's plan to woo China may not go as planned. The executives of the US-based AI chip giant Nvidia have reportedly been summon by Chinese authorities. According to a report in Bloomberg, Chinese government officials have summoned Nvidia representatives over alleged security risks related to Nvidia H20 AI chips. The Cyberspace Administration of China issued a statement regarding the same. The statement said that the chips had been exposed to serious security issues. Earlier this month, US chip companies Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) said that this month they would resume sales of some AI chips in China after securing Washington's assurances that such shipments would get approved. The move is being seen as a dramatic reversal from the Donald Trump administration's earlier stance on measures designed to limit Beijing's AI ambitions. Read Cyberspace Administration of China statement on Nvidia H20 chips security risk Recently, serious security issues with Nvidia's computing chips have been exposed Previously, US lawmakers called for advanced chips exported from the US to be equipped with tracking and location capabilities. US artificial intelligence experts revealed that Nvidia's computing chips have mature tracking and location and remote shutdown technologies. To safeguard the network and data security of Chinese users, and in accordance with the Cybersecurity Law, the Data Security Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law, the Cyberspace Administration of China summoned Nvidia on July 31, 2025, requesting that the company explain the backdoor security risks associated with its H20 computing chips sold to China and submit relevant supporting documentation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Support Your Income SpellRock Undo 20 national security experts sent letter to US government to stop sale of Nvidia H20 chips to China Recently, a group of 20 national security experts and former government officials sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick urging the Donald Trump administration to revert its decision to allow Nvidia to resume sale of Nvidia H20 AI chips in China. These security experts are upset with the Trump administration's decision to allow sale of Nvidia H20 advanced AI chips to China again. The the letter calls the decision a 'Strategic Misstep'. It claims that the decision will have detrimental effects on the US' AI 'edge' for both military and civilian use cases and went on to add that selling Nvidia H20 chips in China will worsen the existing AI chip bottleneck in the US and that these chips could be used to support China's military.

Samsung says tariff agreement reduces uncertainty, expects Tesla deal to boost orders
Samsung Electronics said a trade deal that will see Washington charge 15% tariffs on imports from South Korea reduces uncertainty, as it forecast more major chip orders after signing a $16.5 billion deal with Elon Musk's Tesla . "Building on this milestone, we anticipate securing additional orders from large customers," Samsung Vice President Noh Mi-jung said of its struggling contract chipmaking business during an earnings conference call. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Samsung's new U.S. semiconductor factory in Texas, which is expected to make chips for Tesla, is on track to begin production in 2026, she said. The Texas project is central to Samsung Chairman Jay Y. Lee's strategy of expanding beyond its bread-and-butter memory chip business into high-end contract chip manufacturing, which is dominated by Taiwan's TSMC. Noh's comments came after the company posted 4.7 trillion won ($3.37 billion) in optrumperating profit for the April-June period, its weakest earnings in six quarters. That was roughly in line with an earlier estimate that had disappointed investors. Live Events The South Korean tech giant forecast a gradual second-half recovery for its overall business, without providing further details. Second-quarter operating profit at its chip division plunged 94% from a year earlier, it said, hurt by delays in supplying the latest AI chips to Nvidia and U.S. export curbs on advanced semiconductor sales to China. Samsung's deal with Tesla this week came just days ahead of a much-anticipated tariff agreement with Washington announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday that for now eases tensions with a top-10 U.S. trading partner and key Asian ally. Focus on AI chips Prolonged weakness in Samsung's performance has deepened investor concerns over the South Korean company's ability to catch up with smaller rivals like SK Hynix in developing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips used in AI data centres sold to customers including Nvidia. Last October, Samsung said it was making progress on a major deal to supply HBM3E chips to an unidentified customer that analysts said was Nvidia. Samsung warned on Thursday that the supply of HBM3E chips has been growing faster than demand, which would affect pricing. The tech giant said it has provided samples of its next-generation HBM4 chips to customers, with a plan to supply them next year. The customers are expected to include Nvidia, analysts said. Samsung said on Thursday it expected the industry environment would improve in the second half, driven by AI chip demand due to continued investments by major cloud service providers. Meta Platforms and Microsoft on Wednesday pointed to strong AI chip demand and major investments in data centres in their earnings announcements. But Samsung said there were also some concerns about slowing global growth due to an uncertain trade environment and geopolitical risks. "We believe that the uncertainty has been reduced through the conclusion of negotiations between the United States and South Korea," Samsung Chief Financial Officer Park Soon-cheol said after Trump announced the trade deal. Park said Samsung was also closely monitoring a U.S. national security probe into imports of semiconductors and electronics such as smartphones, tablets and PCs, which he said could have a significant impact on its businesses. Samsung's second-quarter revenue rose 0.7% to 74.6 trillion won, in line with its earlier estimate of 74 trillion won. Its chip division posted a profit of 400 billion won during the quarter, down from 6.5 trillion won a year earlier, marking the first time in six quarters that the figure has dropped below the 1 trillion won mark. Samsung said in a statement that inventory value adjustments to memory chips and one-off costs from the impact of U.S. export restrictions on sales to China on its contract chipmaking business lowered the division's profit. Shares of Samsung were down 1.8% in early afternoon trade, underperforming the benchmark KOSPI index, which was 0.5% lower. ($1 = 1,393.4100 won)
