GeForce RTX 4080 vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 GPU is faster than the GeForce RTX 4060 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4080 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 4080 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 has a significantly lower TDP at 200 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 at 420 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 is better than the GeForce RTX 4060.
