The Asus Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPU is one of the (if not the) easiest and cheapest GPU purchases you can make this Black Friday, with an incredibly low $339.98 price for great performance at 1440p. It's helped massively by the 16GB of VRAM, making gaming above 1080p easier when using reasonable graphics settings, and is a great option for budget gamers.

It's no secret that GPU prices are on the way up, and that's exactly why the Sapphire Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB OC GPU is the perfect deal this Black Friday at £299. This places the price lower than the GPU's £319 retail price, with hardware that packs a good punch in both 1080p and 1440p gaming scenarios, especially when using FSR 4 upscaling. Don't miss it!

To put it simply, the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB model is the ideal route to go for anyone looking to dive into PC gaming or is a budget PC gamer, especially instead of waiting for the Steam Machine. While Valve's mini PC and its chassis would be hard to replicate with a desktop GPU, there are plenty of mini ITX case builds that can cut it close, and these deals would be the best to opt for.

Performance will likely be similar to what the Steam Machine will offer (maybe even better), and the current discounts ensure that the biggest cost of most gaming PC builds is conquered.

8GB of VRAM is often frowned upon, and that's what the Steam Machine will ship with – but the Radeon RX 9060 XT pushes performance a step further, and that's exactly why you should get your hands on either one of these deals.
