Quick Answer

Yes, the RX 9060 (8GB, around R8,000 to R10,500 at Evetech) can drive GTA 6 at 2560x1440 and 60fps, but 2560x1440 60fps is a sensible target in GTA 6 with FSR 3.1 frame generation on Quality and a balanced preset. Pair it with Ryzen 5 7600 or Ryzen 5 9600X and a 60Hz panel is the floor, though a 75Hz+ screen feels smoother. Set an in-game cap near 63 and enable FSR 3.1 frame generation before you touch image quality.

Getting the RX 9060 to a Stable 60fps at 1440p

Hitting a steady 60fps at 2560x1440 here comes down to ordering your changes well and using FSR 3.1 frame generation sensibly. First confirm your monitor is actually running its rated refresh in the AMD, NVIDIA or Intel control panel, then set the game to exclusive fullscreen at 2560x1440. With 8GB of VRAM the RX 9060 sits in the entry-to-mid bracket, so 2560x1440 60fps is a sensible target in GTA 6 with FSR 3.1 frame generation on Quality and a balanced preset. Apply FSR 3.1 frame generation early, set a frame cap a few frames above 60 to keep input latency low, and only then start lowering quality if the 60 line still dips during a rainy night drive through downtown Vice City with traffic, neon reflections and crowds.

In-Game Settings for 1440p 60fps

GTA 6 is one of the most demanding open-world titles on the market, with dense Vice City crowds, wet-weather reflections and long draw distances that hammer both GPU and VRAM. The biggest frame-rate wins come from reflection quality and population density; take both to medium first and retest in a rainy night drive through downtown Vice City with traffic, neon reflections and crowds. Next trim shadow distance and volumetric lighting a single step, keep texture quality on high for image quality, and leave textures as high as your 8GB buffer allows without stutter. Retest the same scene after each change so you can tell which slider bought you the frames, then lock the cap near 63 once the 60 line holds.

FAQ

How much does the RX 9060 cost in South Africa?

Expect roughly R8,000 to R10,500 for the RX 9060 at Evetech, depending on the board partner and current stock. That puts it in the entry-to-mid class with 8GB of VRAM. Prices shift with the rand, so check the live listing before you commit.

Do I need FSR 3.1 frame generation to hit 60fps in GTA 6?

For 2560x1440 at 60fps, yes, FSR 3.1 frame generation makes the target far more comfortable on the RX 9060. Run it on Quality first; only step down to Balanced if a rainy night drive through downtown Vice City with traffic, neon reflections and crowds still dips below 60. It costs almost no image quality at this resolution.

What CPU should I pair with the RX 9060?

A Ryzen 5 7600 or Ryzen 5 9600X keeps the RX 9060 fed at 2560x1440 without bottlenecking your 60fps target. At higher resolutions the GPU does most of the work, so a mid-range CPU is plenty; spend the saved budget on faster RAM or an SSD instead.

Build around the 60fps 1440p target you actually play. Compare RX 9060 models at Evetech against your monitor's refresh rate, your CPU and case airflow before buying, and budget R8,000 to R10,500 for the card itself.
