GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon RX 6850M XT benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 6850M XT GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4060 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6850M XT 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 Radeon RX 6850M XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6850M XT has a slightly lower TDP at 165 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 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.
