RTX 4060
43Score
$299MSRP8 GB115 WIndex 23 at 1440p
One of the lowest-power current-era gaming cards. It handles 1080p at medium to high settings and little more, and its 8 GB memory pool is its main long-term limitation.
RTX 4060 vs RX 7600
The two entry-level cards of the last generation, both with 8 GB and both aimed at 1080p. They are level on estimated rasterisation performance, so the decision rests on power draw, ray tracing and upscaling rather than raw frame rates.

36Score
$3868 GB165 WIndex 23 at 1440p
An entry-level 1080p card. Intel's Arc B580 offers more memory at a similar price, and the RX 9060 XT is a large step up for a little more money.
RTX 4060 comes out ahead of RX 7600.
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.

Prices and where to buy
Each price carries its source and date, or is labelled as a launch MSRP. The retailer page is the authority on today's price.
RTX 4060
$299MSRP
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.

Winner by category
Each category is decided by the same numbers used everywhere else on the site. A category with no clear leader says so rather than picking one.
The shape of the trade-off
All six axes are normalised to a 0-100 scale so they can share one chart. Performance and ray tracing are CompareYourGPU’s estimated indices; value, VRAM, efficiency and features are each card’s standing relative to every other card tracked here.

Capacity alone is not the whole story: memory bus width and bandwidth decide how much of it the GPU can actually use.
Which one should you buy?
Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.
Maximum performance
Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 23. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.
Best value
Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $299. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.
Ray tracing
Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 22 at 1440p. It also carries DLSS 4 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.
Memory headroom
Carries 8 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.
Small or quiet builds
Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 115 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.
Best overall
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.
RTX 4060 vs RX 7600: common questions
Is the RTX 4060 faster than the RX 7600?
Not in rasterisation: CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index is 23 for both, which is level. The RTX 4060 pulls ahead in ray tracing (22 against 15) and has DLSS, while the RX 7600 launched at $269 against the RTX 4060's $299.
Which uses less power?
The RTX 4060, by a wide margin for this class: 115 W against 165 W. That means less heat, a quieter cooler and no worry about the power supply, which matters in a small or older build.
Is 8 GB enough on either?
For 1080p today, mostly yes, but it is the first limit you will hit. Neither card is a good choice if you want to keep it for many years or to play at 1440p with high textures.
