Connectivity and outputs

This section shows the types and number of video connectors on each GPU. The data applies specifically to desktop reference models (for example, NVIDIA’s Founders Edition). OEM partners often modify both the number and types of ports. On notebook GPUs, video‐output options are determined by the laptop’s design rather than the graphics chip itself.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	48.57	15.88
Recency	5 August 2025	10 November 2021
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	4 GB
Chip lithography	4 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	132 Watt	60 Watt

RX 9060 has a 205.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 3 years, a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 100% more advanced lithography process.

RTX A500, on the other hand, has 120% lower power consumption.

The Radeon RX 9060 is our recommended choice as it beats the RTX A500 in performance tests.

Be aware that Radeon RX 9060 is a desktop graphics card while RTX A500 is a workstation one.
