Radeon RX 6500 XT vs GeForce RTX 4060 comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 beats the Radeon RX 6500 XT in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6500 XT 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 Radeon RX 6500 XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6500 XT has a significantly lower TDP at 107 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 6500 XT.
