In this video, I’m testing the XFX RX 9060 XT Mercury Class, a clean, white, quiet GPU that matches perfectly with my setup. And when I say test, I mean REAL TESTS! You’ll see how it performs in real games, how quiet it really is, how much power it draws, remove *way too many* protective films, and what makes this “Mercury Class” model different from the others.
Also, if you are interested in streaming business, my previous GPU (ASUS Dual RX 7600 OC 8GB) was still capable for gaming, but streaming or recording at the same time sometimes caused visible FPS drops — especially when it started heating up.
The main issue wasn’t raw power, but temperature and fan management. Its default fan curve often kept speeds too low, so I had to create a custom profile to prevent thermal throttling (and also custom setup with extra cooling plates and a fan. I'll make another video about my thoughts on RX 7600.
The new RX 9060 XT Mercury Class solves that completely — cooling is much better, fan response is smarter, and even during streaming or recording sessions, the performance stays consistent.
