AMD’s RX 9070 XT made a splash in the best graphics cards rankings, but budget-conscious gamers are eagerly awaiting more affordable options. The RX 9060 XT may be just around the corner, while another rumored GPU, the RX 9070 GRE, might be facing delays.
Recent rumors suggest a potential May 18 launch date for the RX 9060 XT, based on leaks from Board Channels, a forum known for insights from AMD and Nvidia partners. However, it’s crucial to remember this is just speculation. The date itself raises questions, falling on a Sunday, which is unusual for product announcements. Furthermore, it precedes Computex 2025, which begins on May 20, making a Sunday launch less likely.

Even if May 18 isn’t accurate, a May announcement seems plausible, either at Computex 2025 or independently. Board Channels also mentioned a June launch possibility for the 9060 XT, aligning with a mid-to-late May announcement.
RX 9060 XT: Potential Specifications
The RX 9060 XT is rumored to feature 2,048 stream processors and either 16GB or 8GB of memory across a 128-bit bus. This mirrors the VRAM approach both AMD and Nvidia adopted for their budget cards in the previous generation.
RX 9070 GRE: Potential Delays
Another card on the horizon is the RX 9070 GRE, speculated to have 12GB of memory and a 192-bit interface. While initially rumored for a May 8 reveal, Board Channels now suggests a potential delay to Q4 2025. It might launch first in China, but a global release, similar to the previous generation, is also possible.
Looking Ahead
While these details are still unconfirmed, promising new GPUs are on the horizon. Stay tuned for official announcements from AMD, and we’ll keep you updated.
