A direct generational step at almost the same price. The newer card is clearly faster, uses GDDR7 and gains Multi Frame Generation, while keeping the same 8 GB and 128-bit bus. If you are choosing between the two on a shelf, this is an easy call.

A 1080p card that was criticised at launch for its narrow memory bus and 8 GB capacity. Its successor is faster for the same money, so this one is only interesting well below MSRP.
Identical to the 16 GB card apart from memory capacity, which is exactly the problem: 8 GB is already a constraint in recent releases at 1440p and in ray-traced titles. The $50 step up to 16 GB is one of the easiest upgrade decisions on this page.
RTX 4060 Ti 8GB comes out ahead of RTX 5060 Ti 8GB.
The score blends performance at 1440p (50%), performance per dollar (30%) and memory headroom (20%), each against every card CompareYourGPU tracks. Fewer than three points apart counts as level. How verdicts are calculated.

Each price carries its source and date, or is labelled as a launch MSRP. The retailer page is the authority on today's price.
Launch MSRP in US dollars, as set by the manufacturer at release. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today. The Amazon store the link opens depends on your location and charges in its own currency (US dollars, euros or pounds): expect a different figure there, and treat that page as the authority on what the card actually costs.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.

CompareYourGPU estimate aggregated from public review coverage, not a measurement.
Modelled from the performance index. Not a measured benchmark. Real results vary widely by title.
Capacity alone is not the whole story: memory bus width and bandwidth decide how much of it the GPU can actually use.
A card with a verified current price is shown at that price, a dated snapshot; a card without one is shown at launch MSRP. Street prices move, so check the retailer.
The short version: the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB is faster, but the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB offers better value at the prices on record. Which of those matters more is the decision.
Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.
Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 34. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.
Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $399. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.
Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 32 at 1440p. It also carries DLSS 4 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.
Carries 8 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.
Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 180 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.
Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.
