Radeon RX 480 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 480 in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the Radeon RX 480 at 150 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 4060 Laptop over the Radeon RX 480.
