Notes on 4 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  2. 2AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, HDMI version: AMD's spec page lists HDMI 2.1; its own press release and Notebookcheck state HDMI 2.1a.
  3. 3AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT, DisplayPort version: Notebookcheck lists the DisplayPort 2.1 link rate as UHBR13.5; AMD notes DP 2.1 support depends on AIB designs.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.

Performance and Memory

The Radeon RX 7800 XT delivers much higher raw compute capability at 37.3 TFLOPS and features 16 GB of video memory with a 256-bit memory bus width. This configuration provides a massive memory bandwidth advantage of 624 GB/s and a 64 MB last-level cache.

In contrast, the GeForce RTX 4060 offers 15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and includes 8 GB of video memory on a narrower 128-bit bus. The heavier memory load on the AMD card handles dense textures and high resolutions much more effectively during long gaming sessions.

Power and Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4060 focuses heavily on efficiency with a board power of 115 W and requires a modest 550 W power supply. It provides a much cooler and less demanding electrical footprint for standard desktop builds.

The Radeon RX 7800 XT demands a 263 W board power and a 700 W recommended PSU. Buyers must ensure their power supply unit and case ventilation can handle the higher electrical draw before installing the card.

Display Outputs and Connectivity

Both cards support PCIe 4.0, but the Radeon RX 7800 XT utilizes a full 16 PCIe lanes compared to the 8 lanes on the GeForce RTX 4060. For monitors, the AMD card stands out with DisplayPort 2.1 support, though AIB designs dictate final implementation.

The NVIDIA alternative counters with two HDMI ports instead of one, while both options support a maximum of four displays simultaneously. Hardware encoding also varies, as the GeForce card explicitly confirms AV1 encode with one encoder, while the AMD card adds H.264 and HEVC support.

The Verdict

Buy the Radeon RX 7800 XT if you need heavy memory bandwidth and high compute performance for demanding titles at a $499 launch price. Buy the GeForce RTX 4060 if you want an efficient 115 W card with a lower power supply requirement at a $299 launch price. Reference cards for the NVIDIA option take one 8-pin connector with an adapter in the box, while some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
