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

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

2023

Why buy it

  • +495.6% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 137.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 56.8 vs 23.9 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $159 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).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 433.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 30W.
  • 53.8% longer card at 240mm vs 156mm.

T400 4GB

2021

Why buy it

  • Costs $240 less on MSRP ($159 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 160W, a 130W reduction.
  • Measures 156mm instead of 240mm, a 84mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (3,803 vs 22,651).
  • 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.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 23.9 vs 56.8 G3D/$ ($159 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 495.6% in PassMark G3D (22,651 vs 3,803), 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 Ti 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 T400 4GB is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 12nm, and 34 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 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $240 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $159, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 137.3% (56.8 vs 23.9), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The T400 4GB does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The T400 4GB leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
