VRAM-rich graphics cards are becoming harder and harder to find by the day, thanks to the DRAM/NAND flash shortage. However, one of AMD's AIB RX 9060 XT 16GB graphics cards has become a small beacon of light in these dark times. PowerColor's RX 9060 XT 16GB Reaper is on sale on Newegg with a promo code for just $379.99, featuring double the memory capacity of Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, which costs more than this at MSRP and is only $50 less at its cheapest current listing. If you are looking for a VRAM-rich graphics card, don't sleep on this deal; it's unlikely we will be seeing many of these types of deals moving forward.

VRAM is one of the most important factors when choosing a graphics card, and buying one with enough memory for the games you play is only going to get harder as the memory shortage drags on. AMD's RX 9060 XT 16GB is the last "cheap" 16GB graphics card on the market. NVIDIA's 16GB RTX 5060 Ti is already skyrocketing in price thanks to NVIDIA's recent plans to prioritize 8GB RTX 5060 series production.

8GB graphics cards are by no means obsolete for gaming, but 8GB of VRAM capacity has been a pain point on graphics cards for years now, and in 2026 is not enough to run AAA games at ultra settings comfortably at even 1080p resolution. It is also not enough to run other VRAM-intensive features like frame generation.

The RX 9060 XT 16GB was already cheap (in the current GPU landscape), but this deal with the extra promo code only sweetens the card's value more.

    16GB is a "nice to have" but pretty silly for budget GPUs. At 1080p ultra settings I'll bet this card won't even use half of it's V-RAM. They would have been better off with 12GB and a wider bus. I'm still using a 3080ti 12GB @4K/120 and rarely see it go much over 10GB usage. And if it does ever happen to, I could just lower the texture quality a bit. DLSS also reduces V-RAM usage and with the 4.5 update it looks just as good or better than 4K native.

    In most cases i would just lower shadows as that seems to in most games impact the performance the most.

    I do agree 16gb is excessive. But the chip was designed with a 128 bit bus. They could have achieved this on gddr7 with 12gb. Though that would increase the cost so i do understand why they went this way.

    It depends on the game.

    I can't use ultra textures MH:Wilds on my 4070Ti because it runs out of its 12GB of VRAM.

    This is incorrect especially if you plan on playing games at a resolution higher than 1080p, which this card in particular is also targeted for 1440p gaming.

    I have a 9060xt 16gb and play at 1440p. I see the VRAM usage go over 8GB quite regularly.

    Sure you can turn things off to keep usage at 8GB or below and things still work fine.
    But then why even upgrade at that point?
    If I cant play at same, or better settings, as my 7+ year old 1080ti then it would be a waste of money.

    Dont take your own use case as the standard.

    It really is not silly, which is why such blanket statements are false. Some games are exceeding the 8gb barrier, at 1080p, if you crank settings up. As with everything, it is very game, and settings dependent.

    For AAA games, and planning to keep the card for more than a couple years, 16gb is the most sensible option.

    Now if all you play are older titles, or E-Sports, especially at competitive settings, then yea, the 8gb is still plenty fine.
