"Entry-midrange" 16GB graphics cards have gotten expensive this year as prices for the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB have both risen far above their MSRPs. That sucks, since more and more games are demanding more than 8GB of VRAM for the best performance, especially at 1440p.
But if you want an attainable 16GB card at a reasonable price for great 1080p and 1440p gaming in demanding AAA titles, you can pick from four RX 9060 XT 16GB cards for $399.99 at Newegg right now after grabbing some on-page promo codes.
That's 14% above AMD's $349 MSRP, but way less than the $450-$460 these cards have been demanding of late, and it's the lowest price we've seen for 16GB graphics cards in a long time.
- Gigabyte Gaming RX 9060 XT 16GB: $399.99 at Newegg (with code)
- Asus Dual 9060 XT 16GB: $399.99 at Newegg (with code)
- ASRock Challenger RX 9060 XT 16GB: $399.99 at Newegg (with code)
- Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT 16GB: $399.99 at Newegg (with code)
As a baseline, the RX 9060 XT 16GB turns in nearly 100 FPS on average at 1080p in our raster gaming test suite and a comfortable 67.3 FPS at 1440p. And it grants you access to AMD's AI-powered FSR 4 upscaler and ML Frame Generation technology for an easy performance boost in supported titles.
And most critically, with 16GB of VRAM at its disposal, you won't fall off a performance cliff at higher resolutions or quality settings like you would with an 8GB card.
Here are the four affordable options you can choose from at Newegg right now. Make sure you grab the on-page promo code and apply it in your cart to get the lowest price.
In our most recent round of performance retesting, the RX 9060 XT 16GB goes neck-and-neck with the much more expensive RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at 1080p and 1440p in raster gaming. It falls behind the Blackwell card in RT.

But with RTX 5060 Ti 16GB cards selling for around $550 right now, even during Prime Day season, there's no real alternative to an RX 9060 XT 16GB if you're trying to get a relatively affordable 16GB GPU upgrade. If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for an affordable upgrade that will last longer than an 8GB GPU, now is the time to act.
