Graphics Performance

The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU scores 17,400 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the High-End tier as a Recent generation graphics card. It is built on the Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) architecture (codename: AD106), manufactured on a 5 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 4352 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 136 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 48 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 22.06 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 2535 MHz from a base of 2310 MHz.
