- A new list of a Swiss dealer shows ACER’s Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB GP for $ 566 based on currency conversions
- AMD is expected to reveal Radeon RX 9060 series on Computex along with partner card
- The price may be a placeholder but the GPU -Price Inflation can see that the price becomes a reality
The current GPU market is filled with inflated prices for both NVIDIA and AMD cards, which can spell bad news for the potential success of upcoming 8 GP GPUs -and it seems that this may soon be the case for Team Red.
As reported by WCCFTECH, Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB GPU has been listed on a Swiss retailer for $ 566 (about £ 430 / AU $ 880), converted from Swiss Franc. This comes with the 16 GB model, built for $ 620, and both GPUs are expected to be revealed on Computex 2025, starting on May 20.
It is important to highlight the strong possibility that these prices are space holders; This happened earlier with the launch of the Radeon RX 9070 XT, which revealed a launch price of $ 699 via the Micro Center. Fortunately, it was actually a placeholder when it launched at $ 599, but it didn’t last very long due to retailers who raised prices significantly.
But if the $ 566 price for the 8 GB model is legitimate (or at least close to this number), AMD and its partners could be in an uphill to convince consumers that this is a GPU worth 8 GB variant.
It is worth noting that WCCFTECH emphasizes that these prices are probably space holders as they also include lists for RX 9070 XT GPUs above the retail price. Either way, the current state of the GPU market is likely to push prices up to absurd levels, and Best Buy’s GPU lists are a good example of this.
If the retail price for 8 GB GPU is everywhere close to $ 500 it will be dead on arrival
I don’t have to emphasize how underpowered 8 GB GPUs is in 2025, as the negative consensus around Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti makes it clear. These GPUs don’t pack enough Vram to handle the heavy load that comes from games today, and I don’t think anyone will be willing to pay too much for a GPU underpinning.
I am convinced that the alleged price of $ 566 (based on price conversions) is a placeholder, but it doesn’t make me feel much more confident – that’s because the trend of partner cards and their prices indicate that it may cost much more after launch.
This happened with Radeon RX 9070 XT, which you will now fight to find for its $ 599 retail price. While no one had to pay over $ 599 for a GPU to be medium height, the RX 9070 XT is at least a valuable GPU. Potentially, the same cannot be said about the RX 9060 XT 8 GB GP, but I hope it is doing well.
This should be a warning for AMD and its partners; Do not Price any upcoming 8 GB GPUs anywhere close to these prices because I can almost guarantee that they will be dead on arrival …
