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

Unlike the RTX 5060, which uses a PCIe 8x connection, the RX 9060 XT uses a 16x slot that uses the full physical width available. That means we don't expect to see any significant performance degradation from using the card on older PCIe 3.0 motherboards.

To demonstrate this, we tested on our Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard with the PCIe slot manually set to PCIe 3.0 in the BIOS instead of its customary 5.0.
