Having the most powerful and fastest hardware is often the goal of many PC builders, so we are often left comparing things on pure benchmarking and performance. So when AMD swapped from using SK Hynix to Samsung GDDR6 memory in its new Radeon RX 9060 XT GPUs, gamers were quick to jump to performance comparisons between them.
What they found was a drop when moving over to the new Samsung memory, and gamers were quick to condemn the change. Like our reviewer of the RX 9060 XT XFX Swift GPU, many have been pleased by the performance from the budget friendly offering. It seems it might have been a bit too quick, as new comparisons spotted by VideoCardz are showing ways the Samsung GDDR6 may actually be more beneficial, if a little less powerful than the SK Hynix offering.
