CMP 30HX vs GeForce RTX 4060: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

CMP 30HX

2021

Why buy it

  • Measures 229mm instead of 240mm, a 11mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,892 vs 19,548).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • 167.2% HIGHER MSRP
    $799 MSRPvs$299 MSRP

GeForce RTX 4060

2023

Why buy it

  • +299.6% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Costs $500 less on MSRP ($299 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Delivers 967.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 6.1 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $799 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 299.6% in PassMark G3D (19,548 vs 4,892), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while CMP 30HX is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 12nm, and 24 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $500 cheaper on MSRP at $299 vs $799, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 967.8% (65.4 vs 6.1), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The CMP 30HX does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The CMP 30HX leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
