Gigabyte Launches Advanced Radeon Graphics Cards at Computex 2025
Taipei, Wednesday, 21 May 2025.
Gigabyte’s new AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700 graphics cards, unveiled at Computex 2025, focus on AI processing and superior cooling, catering to high-demand professional applications.
Next-Generation Gaming Performance
The Radeon RX 9060 XT represents a significant advancement in AMD’s gaming GPU lineup, featuring both 8GB and 16GB GDDR6 memory variants with a 128-bit interface [4]. Launching on June 5th, 2025, the cards will be priced at $299 for the 8GB model and $349 for the 16GB version [7]. The GPU achieves impressive performance metrics with a boost clock of 3.13GHz, and preliminary testing indicates the 16GB variant performs approximately 6% better than NVIDIA’s RTX 5060 Ti at 1440p resolution across 40 tested games [7].
Advanced Cooling Technology
Gigabyte has implemented its proprietary WINDFORCE cooling system in the RX 9060 XT, featuring the innovative Hawk Fan design and server-grade thermal compound [1]. The cooling solution incorporates multiple heat pipes and Screen Cooling technology for optimal thermal management [1]. For the professional-grade Radeon AI PRO R9700, Gigabyte has developed an advanced cooling system with an indented fan design and metal-compound GPU grease, complemented by a vapor chamber with an automated precision heatsink [1].
AI Processing Capabilities
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 AI TOP demonstrates Gigabyte’s commitment to AI computing advancement, having undergone extensive testing with real-world AI and machine learning workloads [2]. The card comes equipped with GIGABYTE’s AI TOP Utility software and supports the AMD ROCm™ stack, optimized specifically for generative AI and high-performance computing applications [2]. This software integration enables streamlined deployment of AI workloads, making it particularly valuable for professional users in the European market [1][2].
Market Positioning and Availability
The launch timing at Computex 2025 positions these cards as direct competitors in the mid-range GPU market [7]. The dual memory configurations of the RX 9060 XT provide flexibility for different user needs, though the industry debate about 8GB VRAM sufficiency in 2025 continues [7]. Both cards support the latest display technologies, including DisplayPort 2.1a and HDMI 2.1b, with a total board power ranging from 150 to 182 watts depending on the model [7].
