GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon RX 5300M: 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

  • 205.4% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 0 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023).
  • 166.7% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 3 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 35.3% higher power demand at 115W vs 85W.

Radeon RX 5300M

2019

Why buy it

  • Draws 85W instead of 115W, a 30W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4060 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 3 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • GeForce RTX 4060 is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 65.4 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $299 MSRP).

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 205.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 287.5% in PassMark G3D (19,548 vs 5,044), 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: 8 GB vs 3 GB of VRAM, the newer frame-generation stack, DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR Frame Generation (2023), a 5nm process instead of 7nm, and 24 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 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

Both GPUs support Frame Generation, but they get there through different ecosystems. The GeForce RTX 4060 uses DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while the Radeon RX 5300M relies on FSR Frame Generation. Both can help smooth out supported games, but they are not on the same feature stack.The GeForce RTX 4060 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Radeon RX 5300M leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
