Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs GeForce RTX 4060 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX beats the GeForce RTX 4060 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that 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. Despite this, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 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 GeForce RTX 4060 has a significantly lower TDP at 200 W when compared to the Radeon RX 7900 XTX at 355 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 7900 XTX over the GeForce RTX 4060.
