Notes on 3 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super, Power connectors: Nvidia's 16-pin header is the 12V-2x6 variant; an adapter cable for non-ATX 3.0 power supplies ships with the card.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.

Performance and power

The RTX 4070 Super features 7,168 shader cores and delivers 35.5 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This massive core count translates to significantly higher frame rates and faster rendering in demanding games.

Running these tasks requires more energy, as the RTX 4070 Super draws 220 W and demands a 600 W power supply. The RTX 4060 keeps power draw lower at 115 W and requires only a 550 W PSU, making it easier to fit into tighter builds.

Memory and bandwidth

The RTX 4070 Super equips 12 GB of GDDR6X video memory on a 192-bit bus, producing a memory bandwidth of 504 GB/s alongside a 48 MB last-level cache. This setup handles heavy textures and high-resolution assets smoothly.

The RTX 4060 relies on 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus, reaching 272 GB/s of bandwidth with a 24 MB cache. This lower capacity suffices for standard gaming resolutions but restricts heavy multitasking and extreme texture packs.

Display connectivity and ports

The RTX 4060 offers dual HDMI ports supporting version 2.1a, paired with three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs for a maximum of 4 displays. This provides extra flexibility for multi-monitor setups utilizing HDMI.

The RTX 4070 Super limits HDMI connections to 1 port of version 2.1, alongside three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and support for 4 displays as well.
