Gaming performance

Gaming score: geometric mean of in-game FPS, normalized so the RTX 5090 = 100. Render and synthetic scores are in the Benchmarks section below.

Gaming scores are normalised performance indexes derived from Tom’s Hardware’s published GPU benchmarks. Performance per dollar and per watt are our own calculations on top of that data.

Local AI performance

What the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB can run on your own machine, and how fast.

Largest model it can run (8K context)

Q4 (the usual choice, near-original quality)
~20B
Q8 (closer to original, half the model size)
~12B
FP16 (unquantised, for training and research)
~6.6B

Parameter counts the card holds with room for an 8K conversation, counting the model weights plus its attention cache. A longer conversation needs more memory, so it lowers these figures.
