GIGABYTE has officially introduced its latest AMD-based graphics cards of the Radeon RX 9060 XT and Radeon AI PRO R9700, aiming to strengthen its foothold in both the gaming and artificial intelligence sectors.
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is designed for mainstream gamers, featuring enhanced raytracing capabilities and GIGABYTE’s proprietary WINDFORCE cooling system. This includes the Hawk Fan, which boosts air pressure by 53.6% and air volume by 12.5%, all while maintaining low acoustic levels.
The thermal solution combines multiple heat pipes, an extended heatsink with Screen Cooling, and a deformable, server-grade thermal gel that ensures consistent contact and long-term durability. The result is a GPU tailored for stable performance under heavy gaming loads.
In contrast, the Radeon AI PRO R9700 is engineered for high-performance AI computing and machine learning applications. Validated through long-duration simulations involving large language models and multi-GPU stress testing, the card is positioned as a solution for professionals deploying generative AI and HPC workloads. I
t comes with GIGABYTE’s AI TOP Utility, streamlining the integration of AMD’s ROCm software stack. Cooling is addressed through a specialized inward-indented fan design, composite metal grease, a full-copper vapor chamber, and a precision-machined heatsink – all enclosed in a reinforced metal frame to efficiently manage heat from the GPU, VRAM, and supporting components.
