For memory bandwidth, the RX 9060 XT has a maximum bandwidth of 320 GB/s, whereas the RTX 5060 provides a higher bandwidth at 448 GB/s. Both cards have a memory bus width of 128-bit, which is the same across both models.

Additionally, both the RX 9060 XT and the RTX 5060 support ECC memory, ensuring enhanced error correction for critical workloads, though no further details are provided about the extent of ECC support for either model.

Both the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the Asus Dual GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition support DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, ensuring compatibility with modern gaming and graphics applications. The RX 9060 XT supports OpenCL 2.2, while the RTX 5060 has a slightly more recent OpenCL 3 version.

Both cards support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D, but there are differences in additional features. The RTX 5060 supports DLSS, which the RX 9060 XT does not, and also features RGB lighting, a feature not found on the RX 9060 XT. In contrast, the RX 9060 XT supports AMD SAM (Smart Access Memory), whereas the RTX 5060 supports Intel's Resizable BAR.

In terms of supported displays, the RX 9060 XT supports up to 3 displays, while the RTX 5060 can handle up to 4. Both products do not include XeSS (XMX) support, and neither has LHR (Lite Hash Rate) restrictions.

Both the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the Asus Dual GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition feature 1 HDMI output with HDMI 2.1b support, ensuring compatibility with high-definition displays. In terms of additional ports, the RX 9060 XT has 2 DisplayPort outputs, while the RTX 5060 offers 3 DisplayPort outputs, giving it one extra display connection option.

Neither card includes USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs, keeping the focus on HDMI and DisplayPort for video output.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, while the Asus Dual GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition uses the Blackwell architecture. In terms of thermal design power (TDP), the RX 9060 XT has a higher TDP of 160W compared to the RTX 5060's 145W, indicating that the RX 9060 XT may require more power for operation.

Both cards support PCIe 5.0, offering fast data transfer speeds, but they differ in semiconductor size. The RX 9060 XT uses a 4 nm process, while the RTX 5060 uses a slightly larger 5 nm process. The RX 9060 XT has 29,700 million transistors, whereas the RTX 5060 has fewer at 21,900 million transistors.

Both products do not feature air-water cooling, and their physical dimensions vary slightly. The RX 9060 XT is wider at 267 mm, while the RTX 5060 is more compact at 228 mm in width. The RTX 5060 is also slightly taller, with a height of 123 mm compared to the RX 9060 XT's 111 mm.
