GeForce GTX 690 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 690 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 690 at 300 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop over the GeForce GTX 690.
