The ASRock card also has more render output units (ROPs), offering 64 compared to the 48 of the Asus card. Both cards support Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP), so they are equal in that regard.

When comparing the memory specifications of the ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC 16GB and the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition, there are some clear differences. The ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT features an effective memory speed of 20000 MHz, while the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 has a significantly higher memory speed of 28000 MHz.

In terms of memory bandwidth, the ASRock card provides a maximum of 322.3 GB/s, which is lower than the Asus card’s bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The VRAM capacities also differ, with the ASRock card offering 16GB of VRAM, whereas the Asus card has 8GB of VRAM.

Both cards use a 128-bit memory bus width, and both support ECC memory, so they are the same in these aspects. Additionally, the ASRock card uses GDDR6 memory, while the Asus card uses the newer GDDR7 memory version.

The ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC 16GB and the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition share some common features but also have distinct differences. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 2.2 or 3, with the ASRock card supporting OpenCL 2.2 and the Asus card supporting OpenCL 3, which indicates a slightly newer version on the Asus side. Both also support multi-display technology, ray tracing, and 3D rendering.

In terms of additional features, the ASRock card does not support DLSS but supports AMD SAM for Intel Resizable BAR, while the Asus card does support DLSS and uses Intel Resizable BAR instead of AMD SAM. Both cards feature RGB lighting and do not include LHR (Lite Hash Rate) limitations. The ASRock card can handle up to 3 supported displays, while the Asus card supports 4 displays, offering more flexibility for multi-monitor setups.

Both cards have XeSS (XMX) functionality listed as not supported, so there is no difference there. The key distinctions are the DLSS support, OpenCL version, and the number of supported displays, where the Asus card offers some additional benefits.

In terms of port configurations, both the ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC 16GB and the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition feature an HDMI output, with both cards offering 1 HDMI port and supporting HDMI 2.1b. However, the ASRock card has 2 DisplayPort outputs, while the Asus card offers 3 DisplayPort outputs, giving it a slight edge in terms of display connectivity.

Neither card includes USB-C, DVI, or mini DisplayPort outputs, so those features are not relevant for this comparison. Overall, the main difference in ports comes from the additional DisplayPort output on the Asus card.

In the general specifications, the ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger OC 16GB and the Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5060 OC Edition have some key differences. The ASRock card features the RDNA 4.0 GPU architecture, while the Asus card uses the Blackwell architecture. The ASRock card has a higher thermal design power (TDP) of 160W compared to the 145W of the Asus card.

Both cards support PCI Express (PCIe) version 5, but the ASRock card is built on a smaller 4 nm semiconductor process, while the Asus card uses a 5 nm process. The ASRock card also has more transistors, with 29,700 million compared to the 21,900 million in the Asus card.

In terms of physical size, the ASRock card is 249 mm in width and 132 mm in height, while the Asus card is slightly larger at 268.3 mm in width and 120 mm in height. Neither card includes air-water cooling.
