Where to buy
$299MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
This card is out of production, so street prices are especially unpredictable.
No retailer links are configured for this card yet. CompareYourGPU does not publish purchase links it cannot stand behind, so nothing is shown here rather than a button that goes nowhere.

Should you buy it?
Niche recommendation
This card is out of production. New stock is scarce and priced unpredictably, so it only makes sense at a genuine discount against a current-generation equivalent.
1080p gaming at 60+ FPS
Why
- Estimated performance index of 29 at 1080p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
- Supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation.
- At 1080p the RTX 4060 is 6.5% slower than the Arc B580 while costing $50 more, which makes it the weaker buy of the two on price alone. Based on launch MSRP.
Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.
Watch out for
This card is out of production, so new stock is scarce and pricing is unpredictable. It is only worth considering at a genuine discount.
Consider instead
- RTX 5060 Ti 8GB if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 32 against 22, at $379.
- RX 9060 XT 8GB if you want more performance for the money. It returns 12.7 index points per $100 against 9.7.
- RX 9060 XT 16GB if you want more memory headroom. It carries 16 GB against 8 GB, at $349.

How this was measured, and what it is not
Geometric mean of average FPS. Vendor upscaling at Quality (DLSS on GeForce, FSR on Radeon, XeSS on Arc), with native TAA in a minority of titles. Not native resolution, and not a like-for-like image-quality comparison across vendors.
The ray tracing rating covers a smaller 7-game suite than the 21-game rasteriser rating, so the two are not directly comparable with each other either. ComputerBase does not test every card at every resolution; a card missing from a table has no figure here rather than an inferred one.
Because of that, these figures are not directly comparable with the estimated index above, which describes native resolution with no upscaling. Read each on its own terms rather than against the other.

Per-game measured results
No verified benchmark data yet
CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the RTX 4060 yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.
In the meantime, the game pages set out what makes each title demanding and which resolutions this class of card suits. Heavy titles worth checking: Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy.

Technologies and features
What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.
Supported. This card uses 3rd-generation RT cores.
DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.
DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.
Hardware AV1 encode is supported. 8th-generation NVENC with AV1 and HEVC encode. 5th-generation NVDEC with AV1, HEVC and H.264 decode.
Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits
CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.
Strengths
- 115 W board power, the lowest in this database
- Single 8-pin connector and a 550 W supply are enough
- AV1 encode and full DLSS 3 support
Weaknesses
- 8 GB of VRAM and 272 GB/s of bandwidth
- Barely faster than the generation it replaced
- Out of production
Best for
- 1080p gaming at medium settings
- Small, quiet, low-power builds
Not ideal for
- 1440p gaming
- Ray tracing at native resolution
Price, value and efficiency
What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.
$299MSRP
Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.
ExpensiveFair price for this performance: $244
Good buy below $224 · expensive above $273
The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.
Performance per dollar
7.7
Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.
That places it in the upper half of the database on value.
Performance per watt
20.0
Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.
That places it in the upper half of the database on efficiency.
RTX 4060 frequently asked questions
Is the RTX 4060 good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 70-100 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 8 GB is enough for 1080p today, but it is below the 12 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the RTX 4060 good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 40-60 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 8 GB is below the 10 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 1440p. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
Is the RTX 4060 good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 15-25 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 8 GB is below the 12 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 4K. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
How much VRAM does the RTX 4060 have?
The RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, giving 272 GB/s of bandwidth. 8 GB is below the 10 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 1440p. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
What power supply does the RTX 4060 need?
NVIDIA recommends a 550 W power supply for a complete system built around the RTX 4060, which draws 115 W of board power. It uses 1x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the RTX 4060 support?
It supports DLSS 4 Super Resolution, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, FSR 3.1, XeSS. For frame generation it supports DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the RTX 4060 good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 22 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 23, so it retains about 96% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a strong result: it loses relatively little ground compared with the rest of the database. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the RTX 4060 cost?
It launched at $299 MSRP and is now out of production. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the RTX 4060?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RX 7600 at $269. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the RTX 4060 is level with it, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
