GeForce RTX 3090 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3090 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop in gaming.

The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a slightly 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 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 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3090 at 350 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3090 over the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop.
