AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT released globally: What you need to know before you buy?
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT is the latest release in the midrange GPU market. It is positioned as a direct competitor to NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti GPU and targets gamers looking for strong 1080p or 1440p gaming performance without spending too much. Here is a breakdown of what you need to know before considering this GPU for your next purchase.
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.

Nvidia share price hits all-time high, insiders including CEO Jensen Huang sell stocks worth $1 billion
Nvidia insiders sold over $1 billion worth of company stock in the past year, with a notable uptick in recent trading activity as executives capitalize on surging investor interest in artificial intelligence. More than $500 million of the share sales took place this month as the California-based chips designer's share price climbed to an all-time high, Reuters reported citing the Financial Times. Nvidia's chief executive Jensen Huang started selling shares this week for the first time since September, the SEC filing showed, Reuters reported. Also Read - US Stock Market outlook: S&P 500, Dow Jones, Nasdaq to fall or continue to rise on Monday? Nvidia's stock hit a record on Wednesday, and the chipmaker reclaimed the crown as the world's most valuable company after an analyst said the chipmaker was set to ride a "Golden Wave" of artificial intelligence. Its latest gains reflect the US stock market's return to the "AI trade" that fueled massive gains in chip stocks and related technology companies in recent years on optimism about the emerging technology, as per Reuters report. Nvidia Share Price Live Events Nvidia's shares have rebounded over 60 per cent from their closing low on April 4, when Wall Street was reeling from President Donald Trump's global tariff announcements. US stocks, including Nvidia, have recovered on expectations the White House will reach trade deals to soften the tariffs. The chip company shot up 4.3 percent to $154.31 on last Wednesday, giving it a market valuation of around $3.76 trillion -- more valuable than Microsoft, Apple and other tech giants. The rise came as CEO Jensen Huang presented the company's latest technologies at Nvidia's annual meeting. Fueling Nvidia's latest rally, Loop Capital lifted its price target for the designer of high-end AI processors to $250 from $175, while maintaining its "buy" rating. Nvidia recently traded at about 30 times analysts' expected earnings for the next 12 months, below its average of about 40 over the past five years, according to LSEG data. That relatively modest price-to-earnings valuation reflects steadily increasing earnings estimates that have outpaced Nvidia's sizable stock gains. FAQs Q1. How have Nvidia shares performed? A1.

Nvidia executives sell-off over $1 billion in stock amid soaring valuation
Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang began selling stock this week for the first time since September. Other senior executives and directors have also tapped the market read more Nvidia insiders have unloaded over $1 billion worth of company stock in the past 12 months, with a surge of selling in recent weeks as executives cash in on record share prices fueled by investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. More than $500 million in insider sales occurred this month alone, according to data from VerityData, as Nvidia shares climbed to an all-time high and the company became the world's most valuable by market capitalisation. The company's market cap has swelled to $3.8 trillion, quadrupling in just a few years, as corporate and government spending on AI infrastructure has surged. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang began selling stock this week for the first time since September. The company said all of Huang's trades were executed under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan established in March, which specifies the timing and pricing of sales in advance. Huang, who co-founded Nvidia in 1993, still retains the vast majority of his stake. Under the plan, he can sell up to 6 million shares by the end of the year, potentially realising more than $900 million at current valuations. His net worth is estimated at $138 billion, Financial Times reported citing Forbes. Ben Silverman, vice president of research at VerityData, said the recent run-up in Nvidia's share price — which broke above the $150 threshold — likely triggered the sales under Huang's plan. The plan became eligible for execution after a mandatory 90-day cooling-off period expired. Other senior executives and directors have also tapped the market. Mark Stevens, a longtime board member and former Sequoia Capital managing partner, disclosed plans to sell up to 4 million shares. Since June 2, he has sold about $288 million worth, with the full allotment valued at approximately $550 million. Jay Puri, executive vice president of worldwide field operations, sold roughly $25 million in stock on Wednesday. Puri, a 20-year Nvidia veteran, has played a key role in the company's outreach to China. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Board members Tench Coxe and Brooke Seawell have also sold shares. Coxe, a former managing director at Sutter Hill Ventures, sold about $143 million worth on June 9. Seawell, a partner at New Enterprise Associates and a former Synopsys executive, has sold about $48 million this month. The recent insider selling comes as Nvidia's stock has rebounded sharply following a dip earlier this year. The company had faced pressure from tighter US export controls on AI chips to China and rising competition from Chinese firms such as DeepSeek. Despite the volatility, the stock has regained about $1.5 trillion in market value since April, as investor demand for Nvidia's AI chips remains strong.

The stock-market rally is moving beyond Big Tech and investors are thrilled
The summer stock rally is broadening beyond big tech. Megacap technology stocks such as Nvidia, Microsoft and Broadcom led the market's rapid, tariff-spurred selloff earlier this year, only to rebound just as quickly a few weeks later when trade fears eased. Now, with economic fears diminished and optimism growing that the Trump administration will take a milder stance on trade, the recovery has expanded to include stocks across a more diverse group of sectors, such as financials, industrials and utilities. The number of stocks in the benchmark S&P 500 closing above their 50-day moving average has climbed recently to levels last seen in the fall, before Donald Trump's election victory launched an end-of-year rally. And in another sign of breadth, a measure that tracks the number of stocks rising versus those declining notched a new high on Friday. While the so-called Magnificent Seven tech stocks still hold investors' attention—and sway over the market—a broader participation in the recovery has helped propel the Nasdaq composite and the S&P 500 to all-time-highs in June. It could also signal that stocks will keep climbing through the summer, analysts say. 'We've seen this before: big tech leads and the market follows," said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial. 'It seems like we are dusting off that playbook." Wall Street generally views improving breadth as a signal of a healthy stock market and a sustained advance. Whether the trend continues will depend on a few uncertainties still looming in the second half of the year: potential conflict in the Middle East, the path of interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and the final outcome of President Trump's tariff plans. 'As long as things can stay stable, then this market is not exhausted by any stretch of the imagination," said Tom Essaye, founder of the Sevens Report, a market analysis firm. Market breadth has improved as investors who missed out on tech stocks' historic rebound search for new opportunities in different industries, Essaye said. He called it the 'FOMO trade," referencing the acronym for 'fear of missing out." Others have made longer-term bets in less popular industries. Jamie Cox, a managing partner at Harris Financial Group in Richmond, Va., didn't increase his proportion of big-tech holdings over the past few months even as prices dipped. But in recent weeks, his strategy—which includes a blend of defense, financial and large-cap international shares—has started to pay off. 'I'm surprised it took this long," he said. 'It's been a long time coming." Cox, who manages $1.2 billion at Harris, said that, in recent months, he has heard from clients looking to diversify the stocks in their portfolios. 'That lends itself to owning different things than just the most effective of the tech stocks," he said, such as shares of defense contractors Lockheed Martin and RTX Corp. 'You buy the less-aggressive, more tried-and-true, boring stocks." The recovery hasn't worked its way through every corner of the market. Small-cap stocks still lag behind major indexes. It might take a significant shift in the outlook to change that, said George Pearkes, macro strategist at Bespoke Investment Group. 'We would have to see a change in risk appetite." Some investors think that a confidence boost could come sooner than expected. Eric Teal, chief investment officer at Comerica Wealth Management, said he is adding midcap, small-cap and even microcap companies. He is buying shares of domestic banks that he thinks won't be affected by future tariffs, and said the Fed's rate cut could also boost smaller firms. 'The broadening out that we've seen over the last number of months is not something that's going to be short-lived," Teal said. It is unlikely that the market's biggest tech names will fade into the background soon, analysts said. Optimism for artificial intelligence, which powered tech stocks' ascendance to new highs, is still top-of-mind for professional and individual investors alike. But as tech shares have rebounded, so have valuations: Some large-cap names traded at more than 30 times their expected earnings over the next year last week, compared with an S&P 500 average of about 22 times. Those rich prices could be another nudge for traders to start snapping up shares in different industries, said Brian Buetel, a managing director at UBS Private Wealth Management. 'Nobody disagrees that the Mag Seven are just extremely expensive," he said. 'People forget there are sectors of the market that are on sale—that are cheap."
