AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
AMD's RDNA 4 mainstream card. 16GB VRAM, ROCm + Vulkan support, $449 MSRP. Targets the same $400-500 price segment as NVIDIA's RTX 5060 Ti but ships 16GB by default. Local-AI viability has improved since ROCm 6.4 reached vLLM feature parity — but Ollama + llama.cpp remain the safer runtime choices.
Extrapolated from 640 GB/s bandwidth — 64.0 tok/s estimated. No measured benchmarks yet.
Plain-English: Comfortable at 14B and below — snappy enough for a coding agent.

The 16GB GPU at $449 that NVIDIA didn't ship. Vulkan + ROCm support is mature on llama.cpp / Ollama for inference; fine-tuning toolchains (Unsloth, axolotl) still lag behind NVIDIA. For an operator who wants to run 14B-class models at Q4 in chat/coding workloads, this is the price-leverage pick. For anyone needing CUDA-specific tooling (Unsloth, NeMo, TensorRT-LLM), the path of least resistance is still NVIDIA. Reddit r/ollama notes some ROCm kernel issues on edge cases — track the upstream issues before deploying production.
