GeForce RTX 4060 Is Up To 18% Faster Than RTX 3060 In Geekbench

Nvidia’s budget-friendly offering from the GeForce RTX 40-series, namely RTX 4060, will finally be released on 29th June for $299. Information and Benchmarks about the GeForce RTX 4060 have started to leak, and today we have data from GeekBench.

Although Geekbench does not reflect the actual performance, it gives us an idea of what we can expect.

The tests were conducted on a computer equipped with an Intel Core i5-13600K processor, an ASUS Z790 ROG APEX motherboard, and 32 GB DDR5 6,000 MHz RAM.

According to the Benchleaks, in the Open Cl performance test, GeForce RTX 4060 achieved 105K points which translates into 18% more performance than the GeForce RTX 3060, with 89,250 points. GeForce RTX 3060Ti is 6% faster than GeForce RTX 4060, scoring 112,159 points.

The GeForce RTX 4060 performs 99,419 points on the Vulkan API performance test. This means being 17% faster than the GeForce RTX 3060 but 5% slower than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.

These tests show us that the GeForce RTX 4060 is not worth the price. You can already find some GeForce RTX 3060 Ti for its price, which will presumably be better in all games (unless you activate DLSS 3). Not to mention that GeForce RTX 3060 can age better thanks to its 12 GB of VRAM.

Regarding the specification, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 arrives, offering a configuration of 3,072 CUDA Cores at a Turbo frequency of 2.40 GHz. This means 1,280 fewer CUDA Cores compared to the Ti version.

Memory-wise, it makes do with 8GB of GDDR6 memory throttled by a 128-bit interface. With a speed of 17 Gbps, see how it reaches its 272 GB / s bandwidth. All this results in a TDP of 115W and uses a PCI-Express 4.0 x8 interface.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti has the exact specifications, except it uses 18 Gbps memory. Due to the limitation of the interface, its bandwidth does not grow much since it stays at 288 GB/s.
