Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than Radeon Pro V520?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti averages 180.3% more FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 8,000 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon Pro V520 is a 2020 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 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, 183.1% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. 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 Ti is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is about $401 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $800 MSRP, and you are getting 180.3% more estimated average FPS across 49 tracked games in our benchmark data and 183.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 467.7%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

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

Yes. Radeon Pro V520 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $800 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Radeon Pro V520 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon Pro V520 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
