RX 6800 XT (used) vs RX 9060 XT 16GB

Used or new? A used RX 6800 XT 16GB is the kind of card that shows up cheap on eBay, and the RX 9060 XT 16GB is what you'd buy new at a similar budget. In the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026), the RX 6800 XT 16GB (used) averages 80 fps at 1440p and 42 at 4K; the RX 9060 XT 16GB averages 67 and 35. At 1080p the averages are 112 and 98 fps. That makes the RX 6800 XT 16GB (used) about 19% faster at 1440p (14% at 1080p, 20% at 4K).

Both have 16GB of video memory. In games the RX 6800 XT 16GB (used) draws about 300W and the RX 9060 XT 16GB about 160W; power supply advice is about 700W (our rule of thumb) vs 450W (maker's advice). The RX 6800 XT 16GB (used) is about 310mm long, 2.5 slots thick and uses standard 8-pin power; the RX 9060 XT 16GB is about 250mm long, 2 slots thick with standard 8-pin power.

For upscaling, the RX 6800 XT 16GB (used) uses FSR 3 and the RX 9060 XT 16GB uses FSR 4; support varies by game. A used card's real price swings a lot by listing, so compare the live price here with the condition in the photos.

Our take: used cards save money but usually lose the store warranty, so buy from sellers with returns and check the photos. If the used card isn't clearly cheaper per frame, buy new.
