Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Quadro GV100 across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 2.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $8,999 MSRP).

Quadro GV100

2018

Why buy it

✅11.0% more average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data.

Quick Answers

So, is Quadro GV100 better than GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU?

Yes. Quadro GV100 is clearly the better overall GPU here. Quadro GV100 averages 11.0% more FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 19,013 vs 17,400 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Quadro GV100 is a 2018 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is a 2023 model from an older generation with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2018, better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 5nm process instead of 12nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Quadro GV100 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Quadro GV100 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $8,999 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 11.0% more estimated average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data and 9.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the newer 2023 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (160W vs 250W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU make more sense than Quadro GV100?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (160W vs 250W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Quadro GV100. The trade-off is that Quadro GV100 currently gives you 9.3% higher G3D Mark and 11.0% more estimated average FPS across 44 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
