Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU better than Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU averages 48.6% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 17,400 vs 12,258 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is a 2018 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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, 41.9% more raw performance headroom, better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling, and a 5nm process instead of 14nm. 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?

GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 48.6% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 41.9% higher G3D Mark. G3D-per-dollar is basically tied between them. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon Pro V520 MxGPU is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to an unclear MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.
