GeForce RTX 4060 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Edit GPUs
Key Differences
- No game was measured on every one of these cards on one shared test system, so there is no speed comparison to make.
- RTX 3060 Ti has the most memory bandwidth: 448 GB/s against 272 GB/s.
- RTX 4060 draws the least power: 115 W against 200 W.

Muted cells indicate unavailable, not applicable, or not directly comparable specifications.
Frame rates compare runs of the same game at the same quality preset on one test system. DLAA counts as native resolution, because it applies anti-aliasing at full render resolution rather than upscaling; DLSS and FSR upscaling are never counted as native. Where a capture named ray tracing without a readable on or off value, it is read as on.
