Grab an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card for below MSRP, if you're quick

If you think fast and click even quicker, you could grab yourself a great graphics card deal right now. That's because you can currently buy an AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT gaming GPU from Amazon for just $279.99, which is 15% lower than this particular card's normal price, and $20 lower than the overall RX 9060 XT MSRP.

That's a refreshingly low price for this AMD GPU in a time when we're used to seeing the latest GPUs costing much more than their MSRP in the US. What's more, the 9060 XT is currently the best graphics card in its class right now on our buying guide, even at MSRP, out-performing the rival RTX 5060 in a number of our tests.

There is a caveat, though, which is that the particular model on sale is the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 8G, which as its name suggests, is an 8GB version of the card, as opposed to the 16GB version that we tested in our RX 9060 XT review.

That VRAM capacity will limit this card's capabilities in some demanding gaming situations, such as trying to play the likes of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle in its path tracing mode, but 8GB is still just enough for the vast majority of 1080p gaming scenarios. You can read our RTX 5060 review for more insight into how that 8GB card copes in a variety of game tests.

This Gigabyte card uses a triple-fan design to provide plenty of cooling, yet its heatsink isn't super tall, unlike the ones on some cards, so it should fit in most of the chassis in our guide to buying the best PC case. The card's dimensions are 118 x 281 x 40mm (W x D x H), if you want to check those against the graphics card clearances in your case. It also only requires one eight-pin PCIe power connector, so you won't need to fork out for a brand new model from our guide to buying the best PC power supply.

A reasonable overclock has also been applied to this card, so you get a game clock that's 250MHz higher than normal (2,780MHz vs 2,530MHz) and a boost clock that's 210MHz higher (3,320MHz vs 3,130MHz). Otherwise, the card is fairly tame in terms of overall design, but it is a budget GPU, after all - yes, $300 counts as a budget graphics card these days.

To grab this budget gaming GPU deal, just head on over to Amazon via this link. This deal is for US buyers only, but for our UK readers, you can grab this deal on a Sapphire RX 9060 XT, which saves you £20 off the MSRP - it's now just £239.99.
