AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB review: a potent challenger to RTX 5060 Ti

Our raster (non-RT) game benchmarks kick off with a couple of bangers - Alan Wake 2 and Black MythL Wukong. We've aimed for a range of genres and engines here to ensure a representative sample, from custom powerhouses in Remedy's Northlight and Codemasters EGO to the ubiquitous Unreal Engine 5. The Alan Wake bench is a custom jobs, traversing one of the most demanding areas in its game worlds, while the Wukong benchmark is taken from a cutscene right at the start of the game.

As usual, readers on mobile-class browsers will see basic tables showing frame-rate averages, while viewers on full-fat browsers get the deluxe package: animated bar charts that let you mouse over to see advanced metrics, plus an embedded YouTube video that can be played to see frame-rates and frame-times fluctuate throughout the benchmark run.
