The power requirements seem promising. They key issue will be the price, I am particularly curious about the 16GB 9060 XT variant. If you can get it for under $500 (inclusive of tax etc.), it would be a solid offering.

I'm hoping for ~300-350$ MSRP. That's around what it should be going from the RX 480 (last great value card AMD released)

I highly doubt even the non XT version of the 9060 will be $350. We'll be lucky if it is $400 out of pocket.

Disagree, the RX 580 was awesome and also one of the best selling AMD cards to date

The RX 580 was a slightly overclocked RX 480, basically no difference

The difference is they got better boards and coolers from the AIBs, since 480 was such a popular card. They kept the MSRP the same, but users reported better silicon quality (some 480s were not stable at 580 clocks)
