SAPPHIRE Technology has officially launched its new lineup of AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards, featuring the NITRO+, PURE and PULSE models. These latest GPUs are built on AMD’s next-generation RDNA 4 architecture, promising powerful performance, advanced thermal designs and sleek customisation options aimed at gamers and PC builders looking to upgrade their experience.
The flagship model, SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 9060 XT, comes packed with high-end features including 16 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 20 Gbps, 32 Compute Units, and 2048 stream processors. With a Boost Clock reaching up to 3320 MHz and Game Clock of up to 2780 MHz, this card is tailored for smooth and responsive gameplay. It also features two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 2.1a, ensuring wide monitor compatibility.
Thermal performance is at the heart of the NITRO+, with a robust cooling system that includes Honeywell PTM7950 thermal interface material, a 10-layer 2oz copper PCB, and a 9-phase digital power design for stability and efficient power delivery. The card uses the signature Tri-X cooling system with three large fans and optimised composite heatpipes for even heat distribution. A new AeroCurve Fan Blade design helps reduce noise while improving airflow, and the Quick Connect feature allows for easy fan removal and maintenance. A stylish metallic backplate and ARGB LED lighting round out the package, offering both durability and personalisation through the TriXX software.
For users building a white-themed setup, the SAPPHIRE PURE RX 9060 XT delivers top-tier performance in a visually striking icy-white design. It shares many of the same internal specs with the NITRO+, including the 32 Compute Units and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 20 Gbps, with a slightly lower Boost Clock of 3290 MHz and Game Clock of 2700 MHz. Compact and ideal for tighter builds, the PURE uses Dual-X cooling with dual-ball bearing fans and a specially designed heatsink fin module to maintain efficient airflow. A strong metal backplate, ARGB lighting and external RGB sync through a 3-pin header make it both functional and visually appealing.
The SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 9060 XT rounds out the series, available in both 16 GB and 8 GB GDDR6 versions. Matching the PURE model’s clock speeds and core configuration, the PULSE is engineered with a focus on durability and stable performance. It features the same high-grade Honeywell PTM7950 thermal compound, 10-layer PCB and 9-phase power delivery for reliable, long-lasting use. The PULSE cooling solution includes an integrated module that directly contacts the GPU, memory and VRMs, and its AeroCurve fan blades provide quiet, effective cooling. Fuse protection is included for added security during operation.
All three cards are compatible with the newly redesigned SAPPHIRE TriXX software. The modern interface provides real-time monitoring, fan control, and preset tuning for performance or efficiency. Users can also customise RGB effects using the “Glow!” lighting tool, and take advantage of TriXX Boost to fine-tune resolution settings for increased FPS with minimal visual trade-off thanks to AMD Radeon Image Sharpening.
