ASRock Radeon RX 9060 XT Challenger 16GB OC Graphics Card (RDNA™ 4, PCIe 5.0)

The ASRock Radeon™ RX 9060 XT Challenger 16GB OC is more than a graphics card—it’s your new performance anchor. Built on AMD’s latest RDNA™ 4 architecture and fine-tuned for uncompromising 1440p gaming, this GPU pairs raw silicon muscle with refined efficiency. Whether you're pushing frame rates in ray-traced blockbusters, accelerating AI-enhanced workflows, or streaming crisp, artefact-free footage, the RX 9060 XT delivers every frame with clarity and composure.

Under the hood, 2,048 Stream Processors and 32 Compute Units—each equipped with 3rd Gen Ray Accelerators and 2nd Gen AI Accelerators—form the computational backbone of the card. Bolstered by a Boost Clock of up to 3290MHz and a blazing-fast 16GB of GDDR6 memory running at 20Gbps, the RX 9060 XT is primed for high-intensity scenarios and multitasking madness. It supports DirectX® 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and AMD’s FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 4, letting you game smarter, not harder—with enhanced detail, smoother performance, and jaw-dropping visuals.

Thermal control is where the Challenger earns its name. This model integrates a sophisticated dual-fan cooling system, featuring Striped Axial Fans that channel more air, a high-density fin stack with ultra-fit heatpipes, and Nano Thermal Paste that bridges every microscopic gap for optimal heat transfer. And when the system is idle? The 0dB Silent Cooling mode stops the fans entirely, keeping your setup both cool and quiet.

Structurally, the Challenger is built with finesse. A full metal backplate adds rigidity and acts as a passive heatsink, while subtle LED lighting provides ambient flair without overstatement. Prefer a darker aesthetic? Flip the onboard LED switch and keep it stealthy. With a matte black PCB, high-density glass fabric layering, and a Dr.MOS power stage delivering up to 50A per phase, this card balances engineering prowess with visual sophistication.

Optimised for AMD Ryzen™ 9000 Series processors and AM5 platforms, the RX 9060 XT takes full advantage of Smart Access Memory™ to maximise CPU-GPU bandwidth. Meanwhile, AMD’s Adrenalin Edition software puts one-click performance tuning and real-time AI-powered enhancements at your fingertips. Whether you’re a competitive gamer, creative professional, or performance enthusiast, this GPU is ready to raise the bar.
