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

GeForce RTX 4060

2023

Why buy it

  • 4.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $2,000 less on MSRP ($299 MSRP vs $2,299 MSRP).
  • Delivers 877.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 6.7 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $2,299 MSRP).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 16 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Fewer Tensor Cores for AI-powered features like DLSS and frame generation (96 vs 384), which can reduce FPS gains in supported games.
