- AMD announced the GPU Radeon RX 9060 for predefined game PCs
- He will use 8 GB of VRAM similar to his 9060 XT counterpart
- It seems that Team Red does not give up the GPUs of 8 GB
The GPU market has recently experienced a handful of additions, mainly from Nvidia and AMD with the RTX 5000 series and the rade radeon RX 9000 series, respectively – and it seems that Team Red is not yet finished, perhaps in an unwanted way.
As indicated by our friends from Tom’s Hardware, AMD announced the GPU Radeon RX 9060 spotted in the update to update the Radeon pilot, a new 8 GB option for players who will only be available via pre -constructed systems – in other words, the GPU will not be available to buy separately via retailers.
This seems to be an watered -down version of the 8 GB Radeon RX 9060 XT model, which was less favored compared to its 16 GB model. The 8 GB GPUs did not sell well in retailers, as previously indicated by the sales figures of a German retailer.
Recent rumors also suggest that NVIDIA and its advisory partners could lower the GPU prices due to a lack of sales and excess offer, which probably includes 8 GB configurations – and the indication is that PC players do not want to pay high inflated prices for high -end GPUs, and that significant part does not stabilize clearly with low -end cards.
However, it is essential to note that this new GPU seems to be specially designed for predefined systems, which should help to introduce more affordable play PCs, especially For those who are new in the ecosystem.
Analysis: 12 GB of VRAM should be the new standard
I think it was indicated more than sufficient at this stage that the 8 GB GPUs simply do not cut it for PC games today. These GPUs are not completely useless because they can always perform games at 1080p, but with more badly optimized PC games from recent years and games requiring more VRAM, I don’t think 8 GB of VRAM is the solution for office GPU.
Consumers are clear to express their satisfaction with the 16 GB GPUs, so at the very least, I would like to see Nvidia and AMD follow the traces of Intel; It is completely abandoned by 8 GB of GPU entirely, with its latest programming made up of 10 GB GPU and 12 GB.
There is no doubt that those who have a budget can find use in these GPUs, but in terms of longevity, this is the last option I would recommend for a new GPU.
I hoped that Team Green and Team Red would define the new standard at 12 GB, but now I am hoping that the two take this into consideration for the next generation of graphics cards.
