This week, we put AMD's new Radeon 9060 XT through its paces.

Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest first-person shooter developed by id Software, marking the eighth main entry in the franchise and the third installment of the modern series, following 2020's Doom Eternal. As you can imagine, we won't be reviewing the game here but rather, we'll be benchmarking the "hell" out of it, and no doubt a few configurations will be doomed.

RT @bradeinarsen: When Steve said that AMD didn't mention 8GB on the product page... I just had to look. I thought I had it when GPU Memory…

Which of these options is better value? A - One RTX 5060 Ti 8GB (currently $680 AUD) B - Two PS5 DualSense Edge game controllers ($660 AUD)

If you missed it, 8GB 9060 XT testing here: https://t.co/DEbxGBGNGG Side note, I'm seeing a crazy amount of comments claiming that the 9060 XT 8GB is a 1080p card and should be tested as such. Firstly, AMD advertised the 9060 XT universally as a 1440p graphics card. Secondly, https://t.co/5J4MO5zOfP
