Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean
Why memory is the number that matters here
Memory
8 GB
Bandwidth
322 GB/s
Largest model
Baichuan 1-13B
At 8 GB of GDDR6 the Radeon RX 9060 is limited to the smaller end of the catalogue. About 7.2 GB is actually available to a runtime, and a model has to fit entirely inside it before generating anything at all.
The memory bus moves 322 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. That is the number that governs generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.
The figure is the memory clock — 2.52 GHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.
Put together, the largest model that fits is Baichuan 1-13B at 13.3B, running Q3_K_M and producing around 21.7 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The Radeon RX 9060 is built on the Navi 44 graphics processor, using AMD's RDNA 4.0 architecture, as part of the Navi IV(RX 9000) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 4 nm process, with a die measuring 199 mm², holding 29.7 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in August 2025. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
42.9 TFLOPS
FP64
669.8 GFLOPS
On paper the Radeon RX 9060 reaches 42.9 TFLOPS at half precision and 21.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput is 669.8 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
Clocks run from 1.7 GHz at base to 2.99 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
backed by 4 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
132 W
The Radeon RX 9060 is rated at 132 W, with a 300 W power supply suggested for the whole system. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies a dual-slot, and needs 1x 8-pin. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over PCIe 5.0 x16. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Where this card produces tokens quickest. Smaller models dominate here, because generating each token means reading the whole model out of memory once.
Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Radeon RX 9060
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Start with the model, not the specification
All 337 models the Radeon RX 9060 handles are already listed. The search box takes a name or a size such as 27b, which matches on parameter count.
-
02
Decide how long your conversations run
Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing; a long document can consume a large share of the card's 8 GB.
-
03
Choose how far you will compress
Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.
-
04
Read the speed and the range
Each speed is an estimate for a single conversation, with a range beneath it — 106 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B at the top end here. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.
-
05
Read the fit verdict last
A tight fit runs but leaves no room to raise the context later; comfortable has headroom. The memory column shows what each model needs against the 8 GB available.
-
06
Check the same model from the other side
Every model name in the table links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across every card we hold. That is where you see whether the Radeon RX 9060 is the right buy for it or merely a card that fits.
Answers
Radeon RX 9060 — common questions
Does the Radeon RX 9060 support CUDA?
No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and the Radeon RX 9060 is a AMD card. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.
What bus interface does the Radeon RX 9060 use?
It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
Is the Radeon RX 9060 good for running local AI models?
Its memory limits it to smaller models though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 337 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a Radeon RX 9060 run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 8 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.
Would two Radeon RX 9060 cards be twice as fast?
Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 16 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single Radeon RX 9060.
What AI models can a Radeon RX 9060 run?
337 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Radeon RX 9060 and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a Radeon RX 9060 can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Radeon RX 9060 is Baichuan 1-13B at 13.3B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 21.7 tokens per second and needs about 7.2 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a Radeon RX 9060 produce?
It depends on the model. On a Radeon RX 9060 the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 106 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a Radeon RX 9060 run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a Radeon RX 9060 runs MetaMath 7B (LLaMa finetune) at Q4_K_M, using about 6.5 GB of memory and generating around 35.1 tokens per second.
Can a Radeon RX 9060 run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a Radeon RX 9060 runs Gemma 4 12B at Q3_K_M, using about 6.5 GB of memory and generating around 24.0 tokens per second.
How much memory does a Radeon RX 9060 have?
A Radeon RX 9060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 7.2 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a Radeon RX 9060?
The Radeon RX 9060 has 322 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 128-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
What type of memory does a Radeon RX 9060 use?
It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2.52 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the Radeon RX 9060?
The Radeon RX 9060 is a AMD product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 4 nm process.
When was the Radeon RX 9060 released?
The Radeon RX 9060 was released in August 2025.
How much power does a Radeon RX 9060 use?
The Radeon RX 9060 has a rated board power of 132 W, and a 300 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a Radeon RX 9060 have?
and 4 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a Radeon RX 9060?
The Radeon RX 9060 is rated at 42.9 TFLOPS at half precision and 21.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
