Radeon RX 5500 XT vs GeForce RTX 4060 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 beats the Radeon RX 5500 XT in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 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 GeForce RTX 4060 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 Radeon RX 5500 XT has a significantly lower TDP at 130 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 at 200 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 4060 is faster than the Radeon RX 5500 XT.
