Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Radeon RX 6300?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 19,548 vs 5,319 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon RX 6300 is a 2022 model from an older generation with FSR 3 + AFMF. 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 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2022, 267.5% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation instead of FSR 3 + AFMF. 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 is about 398.3% more expensive on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $60 MSRP, and you are getting 267.5% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6300 still holds the G3D-per-dollar lead, so the performance win comes with a real value premium. If you are comfortable paying the premium for the stronger gaming result, GeForce RTX 4060 is the one to buy. If staying closer to budget matters more, Radeon RX 6300 still makes more sense on price alone and remains capable enough for modern gaming.

Is Radeon RX 6300 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon RX 6300 is still a strong gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. This mostly comes down to price. If you want to stay closer to $60 MSRP, it remains a strong choice; if you are comfortable paying more, GeForce RTX 4060 earns that extra money with a clearly stronger gaming result and a more complete overall package.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

Both GPUs support Frame Generation technologies, but they achieve it differently. The GeForce RTX 4060 uses DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while the Radeon RX 6300 relies on FSR Frame Generation + AFMF. Both can significantly boost FPS in supported titles, but they are not on the same feature stack.The GeForce RTX 4060 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon RX 6300 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
