Radeon RX 580 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop comparison

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 580 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop 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 Laptop also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 at 185 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 4060 Laptop is better than the Radeon RX 580.
