AI-generated summary
I’ll be blunt: calling the “ASUS Dual RX9060” a *sound card* is already a red flag. The name and category don’t line up, and a quick check of the product itself is important before you spend—because this looks like a graphics card, not an audio interface. If you’re genuinely in the market for a sound card, you don’t want to be paying GPU money for the wrong thing.
That said, if what you *meant* was “GPU for a workstation/AI/light gaming/media box,” then £341.48 ex-VAT for an ASUS Dual-style card is plausible value, especially if you’re building a quiet, reliable system and want a mainstream option. ASUS’ Dual boards are usually decent for day-to-day use and thermals without going full premium. But don’t buy it unless you’ve confirmed it’s the right component for your system (slots, power, and compatibility)—and definitely don’t buy it to solve audio problems. If you tell me what you’re using it for (recording, live sound, 4K playback, gaming, VM/AI, etc.), I’ll tell you whether this is the right purchase or a complete misfire.
