GeForce RTX 3090 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 4060 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 has a significantly lower TDP at 200 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti at 450 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is better than the GeForce RTX 4060.
