GeForce RTX 3060 vs RTX A4000 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the RTX A4000 Laptop graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3060 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 3060 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 3060 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 RTX A4000 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 140 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 at 170 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A4000 Laptop is better than the GeForce RTX 3060.
