GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon Pro 5700 XT: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

  • 39.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Costs $201 less on MSRP ($299 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Delivers 162.7% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 24.9 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $500 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 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.

Radeon Pro 5700 XT

2020

Why buy it

  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (16 GB vs 8 GB).

Trade-offs

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 39.2% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 57.1% in PassMark G3D (19,548 vs 12,442), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: native frame generation with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while Radeon Pro 5700 XT has no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 7nm, 24 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $201 cheaper on MSRP at $299 vs $500, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 162.7% (65.4 vs 24.9), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The Radeon Pro 5700 XT does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon Pro 5700 XT leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
