AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (16 GB)
The 9060 XT 16GB is a budget-tier RDNA card with a generous 16GB of VRAM, a low 160W draw, PCIe 5.0, and a compact 202mm board on just a 450W PSU. That memory helps it outlast 8GB cards at this price. CUDA-dependent creator workflows still favor NVIDIA, so factor that in if your apps need it.
