GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop vs Radeon RX 6850M XT benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6850M XT beats the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop in gaming performance.

The Radeon RX 6850M XT has a significantly 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 Radeon RX 6850M XT 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 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6850M XT at 165 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6850M XT is faster than the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop.
