I looked strictly at 16 GB versions as the 8 GB should not exist.

I wasn’t sure if US listings actually included some kind of sales tax without saying so, if not, the card is actually cheaper here 🥹 (before taxes).

$250 in 2016 would be $335 today. A 16 GB 9060 costs $370 which is only 10% higher. So prices are getting reasonable; after having been completely outrageous the past few years.

Now these are US prices. But the 9060 is available in Sweden for $435 eqv. which is really not bad.
