Radeon RX 540 vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 beats the Radeon RX 540 in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 4060 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 GeForce RTX 4060 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 is better than the Radeon RX 540.
