Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB: 16 GB of memory at 320 GB/s. Below: the open models it can run, estimated at 16 GB with an 8K context. 16 GB for $349 at launch, but at 320 GB/s it has half the bandwidth of the RX 9070 XT: models up to about 24B fit at 4-bit, and they run slowly.
