XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT Swift OC review @ Guru3D

Published: | Posted By:

Guru3D has published a comprehensive review of the XFX Radeon RX 9060 XT Swift OC, positioning it firmly in the mid-range. Powered by the Navi 44 XT chip with 2,048 stream processors and 32 RDNA 4 compute units, the card sports dual/tri-fan cooling, boosts up to 3.32 GHz, and includes 8 GB or 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus  Priced around US $349, it competes tightly with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB, delivering consistent 60+ FPS in Full HD gaming—even with ray tracing enabled—while maintaining efficient power use (~160–185 W total board power) and staying relatively cool (70–75 °C) and quiet (~35 dBA) under load The card’s PCIe 5.0 interface and ample DisplayPort 2.1a/HDMI 2.1b outputs increase its appeal.

XFX’s Swift OC lineup brings the RX 9060 XT to market in several flavors. You can pick a standard black model or get a white-shrouded version, and both come in either 8 GB or 16 GB GDDR6 configurations. The cooling solution is identical across the board: choose between two fans or three fans, all with multiple heat pipes and dense fins. Each card carries a “game clock” of 2780 MHz and can boost up to 3320 MHz.


XFX keeps the Swift OC variants uniform: same PCB, VRAM speed, and clock profiles regardless of memory size or color (black or white), though the Swift OC models draw about 20 W more than AMD’s reference, which could lead to warmer temps if case airflow is lacking The 16 GB version is better suited for handling high-res textures and content creation, while also offering about a 6% advantage in average frame rates over the RTX 5060 Ti, per AMD  Guru3D notes that the card also supports modern features like DirectX 12 async compute, ray tracing acceleration, AI-driven FSR 4 upscaling with its 2nd-gen AI cores, and offers good tweaking headroom through tools like MSI AfterBurner  In summary, the RX 9060 XT Swift OC delivers strong Full HD performance, smart feature support, and efficient cooling, all for a competitive mid-range price.
