The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the AX Gaming Rebel GeForce RTX 5060 Ti X3W 16GB share the same amount of VRAM, with both equipped with 16GB. However, there are some key differences in their memory specifications. The RX 9060 XT uses GDDR6 memory, while the RTX 5060 Ti features the newer GDDR7 memory, which could imply potential differences in overall performance and efficiency.

In terms of effective memory speed, the RTX 5060 Ti has a noticeable advantage, running at 28000 MHz compared to the RX 9060 XT's 20000 MHz. This translates to faster data transfer rates on the RTX 5060 Ti. The maximum memory bandwidth also reflects this difference, with the RX 9060 XT offering 320 GB/s, while the RTX 5060 Ti supports a higher bandwidth of 448 GB/s.

Both cards feature a 128-bit memory bus width, and both support ECC memory, ensuring stability and error correction. Despite the differences in memory speed and bandwidth, the VRAM and bus width remain the same on both products.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the AX Gaming Rebel GeForce RTX 5060 Ti X3W 16GB both support DirectX 12 Ultimate and OpenGL 4.6, ensuring compatibility with modern games and applications. The RX 9060 XT supports OpenCL version 2.2, while the RTX 5060 Ti supports a more recent version, OpenCL 3.

Both cards also feature multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D support, which are standard for high-end gaming and content creation. However, the RTX 5060 Ti has the additional capability of supporting DLSS, while the RX 9060 XT does not. Both cards lack XeSS (XMX) support, and neither includes RGB lighting.

In terms of display support, the RX 9060 XT supports up to 3 displays, while the RTX 5060 Ti can handle up to 4 displays. Additionally, the RX 9060 XT supports AMD SAM (Smart Access Memory), while the RTX 5060 Ti supports Intel Resizable BAR, which is similar but tied to Intel's platform.

Both the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the AX Gaming Rebel GeForce RTX 5060 Ti X3W 16GB come with HDMI outputs, each featuring 1 HDMI port. Both also support HDMI 2.1b, ensuring compatibility with high-bandwidth features like 4K gaming at high refresh rates. In terms of DisplayPort outputs, the RX 9060 XT has 2, while the RTX 5060 Ti has 3, giving the latter slightly more display connectivity options.

Neither card includes USB-C ports, DVI outputs, or mini DisplayPort outputs, so the main difference in their port configurations comes down to the number of DisplayPort outputs, with the RTX 5060 Ti providing one more than the RX 9060 XT.

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and the AX Gaming Rebel GeForce RTX 5060 Ti X3W 16GB both use PCIe version 5, ensuring high-speed data transfer. However, there are some differences in their underlying architecture and physical dimensions. The RX 9060 XT features RDNA 4.0 architecture, while the RTX 5060 Ti uses Blackwell architecture. The RX 9060 XT also benefits from a smaller 4 nm semiconductor size, compared to the RTX 5060 Ti's 5 nm semiconductor size.

In terms of thermal design power (TDP), the RX 9060 XT has a lower TDP of 160W, while the RTX 5060 Ti has a higher TDP of 180W, which may indicate slightly higher power consumption. Both cards lack air-water cooling, relying instead on standard cooling solutions. When it comes to physical size, the RX 9060 XT is slightly smaller with a width of 267 mm and a height of 111 mm, while the RTX 5060 Ti is larger at 316 mm wide and 131 mm high.

Regarding the number of transistors, the RX 9060 XT has 29,700 million, while the RTX 5060 Ti has 21,900 million transistors, which may indicate a difference in complexity and capabilities between the two GPUs.
