We're tearing down the Sapphire RX 9060 XT AMD GPUs in both the 8GB and 16GB models. We already posted a review of the 16GB card and will be working on a special / full feature on 8GB cards in the next few weeks with extra depth beyond our normal reviews. In the meantime, this disassembly looks at how the cards are built and the differences in memory layout on the PCB.
