RX 9060 XT release time & countdown clock: the latest AMD GPU
Table of Contents
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT release date is here, and we’ve put together a countdown to the very minute of the release to help you make sure you don’t miss out. Listings are now live on Amazon US, and Overclockers and Scan in the UK for both the 16GB and 8GB versions, and though you can’t currently buy the cards it’s still wise to open them up in a new tab make sure you have your finger ready to click on that retailer link as soon as the countdown hits zero. Although we are hopeful that stock issues won’t be as bad with this particular GPU release as some launches we’ve seen this year, it’s always wise to be prepared just in case. Be sure to check out our Where to buy RX 9060 XT page to find links to all the variants of the card listed on online retailers in the US, Canada, and the UK.
Our own review of this upcoming card won’t hit until after the launch, sadly, but you can read up on the leaked RX 9060 XT review benchmarks from elsewhere on the web if you’re looking to get an idea of performance before you buy.
Has the RX 9060 XT launch time been confirmed by AMD?
Lisa Su’s badboy crew have not definitively confirmed a launch time for the RX 9060 XT, but this is pretty standard. Ultimately new graphics cards, whether they be Nvidia models or AMD GPUs, almost always land at the same time, and there’s no reason to assume the the RX 9060 XT launch will be any different.
Below is exactly when you can expect to see the RX 9060 XT released in different time zones, and below that is the countdown that you can follow with bated breath.
- US Pacific (PDT): 6 AM
- US Eastern (EDT): 9 AM
- United Kingdom (BST): 2 PM
- Central Europe (CEST): 3 PM
- India (IST): 6:30 PM
- Sydney, Australia (AEST): 11 PM
- Auckland, New Zealand (NZST): 1 AM, June 6th
Will there be sufficient RX 9060 XT stock levels to meet demand?
It's still unclear whether the RX 9060 XT will be readily available when it officially launches. While AMD has pledged ‘wide availability‘ for the card, but similar assurances were given for the 9070 series – which later experienced shortages.
YouTuber and tech insider MooresLawIsDead has expressed optimism about the launch stock, citing multiple retail sources in Europe and a few in the U.S. According to his information, availability looks better than with some recent GPU releases, particularly in the EU. However, there's still a chance that U.S. retailers could face limited supply. As always, we'll have to wait and see how things unfold.
