AMD stealth-launches a new low power version of its Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card that could be great for a DIY Steam Machine, though it's only shaved 13% off the energy consumption

The XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT on a set of bookshelves, with various sci-fi novels behind it.

If there's one thing you don't expect to see during the final weeks of a year, right before everywhere shuts shop for the holidays, it's a new graphics card. Normally the preserve of big tech events like CES and Computex, AMD has decided to buck that trend and quietly launch a new Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card. Its unique selling point? A marginally lower power limit.

There was no announcement behind the launch whatsoever, as AMD just dropped the new card into its product pages, alongside its other Radeon models (via BenchLife). Simply labelled as the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP, it's literally just a normal 16 GB RX 9060 XT that's had its 160 W power limit reduced to 140 W.
