The RX 9060 XT is a replacement for the RX 7600 XT. It comes in both 16 and 8GB flavors, but here the use case is related to the 16GB model only. That said, this RDNA 4 GPU is potent and represents a significant performance leap over RDNA 3. For starters, the 9060 XT in raster is identical to the RX 7700 XT, but has a lot greater RT potential. The settings below, at native 1440p, can be easily enjoyed with both the base game and the Phantom Liberty DLC.

Note: The RX 90600 XT requires a CPU within the Core i5 13400F or Ryzen 5 7600 performance territory to run without CPU bottlenecks, particularly with RT, and in Phantom Liberty DLC.

A few keynotes to consider:

  • With FSR 4, you can easily do low to medium RT and play at 1440p, staying at 60+ FPS most of the time. 
  • FSR 4 Frame Generation can also be used if you require super high motion fidelity.
  • With 16GB of VRAM, you can also try out Cinematic lighting mods, as well as texture mods. Or even make RT better with the Radeon Raytracing Refined mod.

Verdict

That concludes the recommendation for Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty DLC with the RTX RX 9060 XT. As long as you have the 16GB version in your system, you are good to go. If you are using the 8GB, these settings will be irrelevant, since the 8GB VRAM will quickly run out of memory buffer, leading to severe FPS drops and other performance issues.
