The short version
The Pulse RX 9060 XT 8GB is a 200 mm, 2-slot card rated at 150 W with one 8-pin connector and a 450 W supply minimum. Its boost clock of up to 3130 MHz matches AMD's stock figure. The compact size suits small cases, but 8 GB of VRAM is the key compromise for newer games at higher settings.

Common questions
Will it fit a small case?
Sapphire lists 200 mm in length, about 109 mm in height and a 2-slot width, which fits many compact cases.
Is 8 GB enough?
It is workable at 1080p, but the 8 GB capacity is the main limitation compared with the 16 GB version of the same chip.
