Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU better than UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N)?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 17,400 vs 1,200 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N) is a 2023 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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 1350.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of Unknown, 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 10nm. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

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 1350.0% 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, UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N) still makes more sense on price alone, but the performance trade-off is much harder to justify by current standards.

Is UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. UHD Graphics 24EUs (Alder Lake-N) is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. 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.
