GeForce RTX 2080 vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 4060 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 4060 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 has a slightly lower TDP at 200 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 at 250 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 terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 is better than the GeForce RTX 4060.
