Notes on 8 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Board power: NVIDIA's table shows 165 or 160 W for RTX 4060 Ti; Tom's and TechSpot list 160 W for the 8GB model.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; your build may need more.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: The card takes a 16-pin connector; NVIDIA includes an 8-pin PCIe adapter in the box.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card length: Founders Edition length; partner cards vary by manufacturer.
  7. 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card height: NVIDIA labels this 'Width' (slot edge to card top); its clearance text cites 98 mm for the card.
  8. 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Performance and Architecture

The RTX 5090 runs on the Blackwell architecture featuring 21,760 shader cores and 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This massive horsepower easily outpaces the Ada Lovelace architecture on the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, which provides 4,352 shader cores and 22 TFLOPS.

In practical use, buyers seeking extreme rendering and compute capability will find the RTX 5090 far superior, while the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB offers a modest setup for standard workloads.

Memory and Speed

Equipped with 32 GB of GDDR7 video memory over a 512-bit bus, the RTX 5090 delivers a staggering 1,792 GB/s of memory bandwidth. By comparison, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB relies on 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus for 288 GB/s.

The larger frame buffer and faster memory type on the RTX 5090 prevent bottlenecks in heavy textures and complex assets, whereas the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is limited to lighter tasks.
