AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB vs Lisuan Tech LX MAX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single recorded benchmark for the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4093. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores, so a direct head-to-head comparison based on measured results is not possible. The RX 9060 XT sits at the 24th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the LX MAX is listed at the 50th percentile, though the latter figure is not backed by any actual benchmark entry.

For context on the RX 9060 XT's measured result, the nearest rivals in the database are all significantly older or lower-tier parts. The AMD card scores 0.4% above the Intel HD Graphics 630 (4075), 1.5% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M (4033), 1.4% below the NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (4151), and 1.8% below the AMD Radeon R5 M330 (4170). These deltas are all within roughly 2 percentage points, meaning the RX 9060 XT's single recorded result places it in a cluster of much older integrated and low-end mobile graphics solutions. This is an unusual outcome for a discrete card from the Radeon RX 9000 series, and the data does not explain the discrepancy. The LX MAX, with no benchmark entries, cannot be ranked against these rivals or against the RX 9060 XT through direct measurement.

Architecture Differences

The RX 9060 XT uses the Navi 44 chip built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The codename is Strix Point, and it belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. Transistor count is listed at 29,700 million on a 199 mm² die, giving a density of 149.2M per mm². The LX MAX uses a 7G106 chip with TrueGPU architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, and belongs to the 7G100 generation. Its transistor count and die size are unknown.

The two GPUs differ fundamentally in their compute organization. The RX 9060 XT has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The LX MAX has 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, but no ray tracing cores are listed. The LX MAX therefore has triple the shading unit count and 50% more TMUs and ROPs than the RX 9060 XT, yet its FP32 throughput of 24.58 TFLOPS is slightly below the RX 9060 XT's 25.64 TFLOPS. This indicates a significantly different per-shader clock behavior, though the LX MAX's clock rates are not recorded.

FP16 performance shows a stark architectural split. The RX 9060 XT delivers FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, meaning 25.64 TFLOPS. The LX MAX delivers FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, reaching 49.15 TFLOPS. For workloads that can use packed FP16 math, the LX MAX has a clear theoretical advantage. The RX 9060 XT also lists dedicated ray tracing cores, which the LX MAX does not.

Memory architecture differs as well. The RX 9060 XT uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with memory clocked at 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective) for 322.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The LX MAX uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for 432.0 GB/s. The LX MAX offers 50% more capacity and roughly 34% more bandwidth, despite running its memory at a lower clock speed.

The process node gap is notable: 4 nm for the RX 9060 XT versus 6 nm for the LX MAX. This partially explains the RX 9060 XT's lower power draw of 150 W versus 225 W for the LX MAX, and its smaller physical footprint. The RX 9060 XT is also a newer release, dated June 2025, while the LX MAX is dated March 2026.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every major specification. The RX 9060 XT uses a 4 nm TSMC process with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die; the LX MAX uses a 6 nm TSMC process with unknown transistor count and die size. Clock behavior differs, with the RX 9060 XT listing base, boost, and game clocks of 1700 MHz, 3130 MHz, and 2530 MHz respectively. The LX MAX lists no base, boost, or game clocks, only a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus 2518 MHz (20.1 Gbps effective) for the AMD card.

Memory capacity favors the LX MAX at 12 GB versus 8 GB, as does bus width (192 bit versus 128 bit) and bandwidth (432.0 GB/s versus 322.3 GB/s). Compute unit counts favor the LX MAX in shading units (6144 vs 2048), TMUs (192 vs 128), and ROPs (96 vs 64). The RX 9060 XT counters with 32 ray tracing cores, which the LX MAX lacks entirely. Pixel and texture rates are close: the RX 9060 XT posts 200.3 GPixel/s and 400.6 GTexel/s, while the LX MAX posts 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s.

Power and connectivity differ substantially. The RX 9060 XT draws 150 W with a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU. The LX MAX draws 225 W with a single 16-pin connector and a 550 W suggested PSU. The RX 9060 XT uses PCIe 5.0 x16; the LX MAX uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs also diverge: the RX 9060 XT has one HDMI 2.1b and two DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, while the LX MAX has four DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and no HDMI. API support is largely identical for DirectX (12 Ultimate 12_2) and OpenGL (4.6), but Vulkan support differs: 1.4 for the RX 9060 XT versus 1.3 for the LX MAX. Physical dimensions are only recorded for the LX MAX at 248 mm length, 118 mm height, and 48 mm width; the RX 9060 XT dimensions are null in the database. Both cards are dual-slot. The RX 9060 XT has a launch MSRP of 299 USD; the LX MAX has no recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9060 XT wins on power efficiency and process technology. Its 4 nm node and 150 W TDP make it the lower-power option by a wide margin, and it requires a smaller PSU (450 W versus 550 W). It also supports newer interface standards: PCIe 5.0 x16, DisplayPort 2.1a, and Vulkan 1.4. Its 32 ray tracing cores give it dedicated RT capability that the LX MAX cannot match. In FP32 compute, it leads slightly at 25.64 TFLOPS versus 24.58 TFLOPS, and it has a higher boost clock at 3130 MHz, though no comparable clock data exists for the LX MAX.

The LX MAX wins on memory and raw resource counts. Its 12 GB frame buffer, 192-bit bus, and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth are all substantially larger than the RX 9060 XT's 8 GB, 128-bit bus, and 322.3 GB/s. For workloads that are bandwidth-limited or require large working sets, the LX MAX has a structural advantage. Its 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs give it a much larger parallel execution footprint, and its FP16 throughput of 49.15 TFLOPS is nearly double the RX 9060 XT's 25.64 TFLOPS. The LX MAX also offers four DisplayPort outputs, which is more flexible for multi-display setups, though it lacks HDMI. The LX MAX has no recorded benchmark scores, so these advantages are theoretical and based on specification data only.

The Verdict

The data presents two very different products. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB is a well-documented card with a single measured benchmark score of 4093, a 24th percentile ranking, a known launch MSRP of 299 USD, and a full specification sheet. Its strengths are efficiency, ray tracing support, newer PCIe and display standards, and a smaller power footprint. The Lisuan Tech LX MAX is a specification-only entry: no benchmarks, no recorded clocks beyond memory, no MSRP, and no nearest rivals. Its strengths are memory capacity, bandwidth, shading unit count, and FP16 throughput.

For buyers who require verified performance data, the RX 9060 XT is the only option with any recorded results. The 4093 Steel Nomad score and its position among rivals like the Intel HD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M are the only measurable performance facts in this comparison. The LX MAX cannot be assessed on performance, only on paper specifications.

For users who prioritize memory capacity, raw compute resources, and FP16 throughput, the LX MAX appears attractive on paper, but the absence of benchmark data means its real-world behavior is unverified. The RX 9060 XT is the safer choice given its measured result, active production status, and established ecosystem. The LX MAX is a newer release with a larger memory pool and higher power draw, but without recorded measurements it remains an unknown quantity in the database. Each card wins on different specification axes; only the RX 9060 XT has demonstrated any actual benchmark output.
