upgraded from 5700xt, and while yes the graphics are maybe 20% better in the games I play, and maybe 30% more fps, and maybe a bit more smooth by like ~15% - I realized ... .. I just dont care about graphics lol. or fps really i guess. as long as it can run more than 60fps upscaled to 4k with Super Res I dont see a reason to upgrade to 9060xt or at least feel like I wasted money to the extent to be fair. 5700xt could already run most everything at those specs. Out of all the games I play Call of duty warzone saw the biggest uplift but thats because its so poorly optimized imo. Other than that though, the better super res and actually utilizing my gpu 100% of the time (vs the old static super res that only got my gpu up to like 70%) is about the only thing that I actually enjoy, and I don't think that's worth the $400 price tag trading in my old 5700xt or not. I've yet to load up Microsoft Flight sim but that's the only game I play in 30 fps and you literally cant tell so I'm assuming I won't much care there either - EXCEPT frame generation this is probably the only game I play with no trade offs. Framegen is supposed to get additional fake frames for smoothness but in high fps competitive titles you can lose information -- with fully immersive non competitive titles framegen can focus in on that smoothness even more to make for some really good immersion. I supposed by extension that would make VR really good too. So if you love VR immersion, Crave 100% dynamics utilization, or need the better super res (you dont) - then that's the only reason I could see upgrading from the 5700xt and if I had seen this comment would not have purchased the 9060xt sapphire PULSE (great card tho, 5700xt was also a pulse) I wouldn't return it (although definitively thinking about it but I need the 5700xt for a different build) and I guess I will say if I was forced to buy a gpu right now, this still would have been the one I'd've gotten.

Runs well for 1080p gaming, 100+ fps with max settings on certain games. Quiet, no noticeable noise while playing. Runs at ideal temperatures, 75°C at 100%.
1) Got this thing for $699 2) Price to performance from 2-3 generations ago is excellent 3) Solid, sturdy design with a beautiful looking shroud 4) Uses traditional 8-pin connectors so I didn't have to upgrade my PSU 5) Has RGB connectivity 6) Undervolts incredibly well for an approximate 10% increase in performance.
Works well, no issues yet, can play war thunder at max settings and get a stable 150+ fps, it works very good with my 1080p screen and has plenty of V-ram
Can handle modern games at ease. 4k Gameplay FSR 16gb VRAM
My current GPU started overheating and just turning off soooo. UPGRADE!!! Man it runs my games so much smoother! I wish I could have planned a purchase of this size into my budget but they have better financing options than my own credit card! Easy to install and uses significantly less connectors than to 7000 series I had. Would buy for my wife if she wanted an upgrade. Easy sell.

Runs my games at better frame rates and the graphics are better.
Runs all my games in 4k Not loud
Bought at MSRP. The prime models seem to come with phase-change GPU thermal pads. This effectively means you will never have to repaste. Although time will tell. Have all ROPs. Running with 9800X3D. Based on benchmarks do not see a need for 5080.
-Great priced -Great Mid level GPU -Easy setup
This is an amazing card. It is fast out of the box. It runs cool. It can be over clocked and under volted very easily with MSI Afterburner.
It works and was retail
I recently purchased a Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 165hz 4K monitor. To get 4k smoothly, AND CHEAPLY, I needed to upgrade my 6700XT. With the XFX Swift 9060XT I can now play any game at 4K. Even at balanced or quality (instead of performance) settings. Starfield, Horizon Forbidden West, and Helldivers 2 are the games I have been playing and they run 60+ FPS at 4K. With FSR, depending on the version, I get up to fifty percent more FPS over my old card. I opted for the triple fan and it is whisper quiet and ice cold. XFX is amazing. I greatly appreciate XFX opting to go with the PTM7950 TIM so I won't have to worry about drying paste or bleeding out. AMD drivers are rock solid. I have read, that in the past, AMD drivers had some troubles. For the past five years of owning AMD video cards I can confidently say I have not had any driver-related problems and the video cards have run without a hiccup. I have watched several 9060xt reviews online along with teardown videos. I think this XFX triple fan card is the best bang for the buck as of this writing.
Lighter weight than my 3070ti Easy install Comes with support bracket Faster monitor boot times than evga 3070 ti
+ Package was really good, no waste or anything. + Everything was handled carefully, no damage in the boxes or anything.
- Runs cool and quiet. Even under full load, I haven't seen it go above 65 C. - Solid build quality. Looks very good in a black case; understated, but still sleek. Not super gamer-fied. Back-plate is metal, heat-sink feels substantial - Compatibility and stability is much, MUCH improved over the A-series cards. - Plays my games at 1440p 60+ FPS in basically every situation I've run into (my library is older, and I haven't messed with any UE5 titles, bear in mind).
I went from a 3090Ti that made a lot of noise and actually made my office hot. It worked but used lots of power. To gauge the true power of this card I would need a faster display but despite that it still outperformed the 3090Ti by over 25% without frame regen. Stable card and unlike my 3090 is doesn't crash. Fast, stable and reliable pretty much sums it up
Pros: Good cooler on it Low temps Included stand is quality Didnt expect it to have RGB and it does Its pretty Quiet fans MSI software is fairly solid Good price point, the other MSI gaming trio 5070 ti (the oc plus) is the same card, but hundreds more
really elegant design- a little "smaller" it is still massive and heavy but maybe more accommodating to more cases dual bios powerful it is the most powerful gpu on the market it is a beast
High graphics card, temperatures between 65 to 68 degrees maximum, excellent card
