Notes on 6 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
  2. 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
  3. 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
  4. 4NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.

Performance and Architecture

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB utilizes the Blackwell architecture and provides 23.7 TFLOPS of FP32 compute alongside GDDR7 memory. In contrast, the older NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 runs on Ada Lovelace and delivers 15 TFLOPS.

This generational leap gives the newer card significantly higher memory bandwidth and faster clock speeds, translating into smoother frame rates in demanding modern titles.

Power and System Requirements

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 demands less energy, requiring a board power of 115 W and a 550 W recommended PSU. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB draws 180 W and calls for a 600 W power supply.

Buyers opting for the newer Blackwell card may also need to check their power connectors, as most partner models require an 8-pin socket, while a few utilize a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.

Connectivity and Video Features

For display outputs, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB supports PCIe 5.0 and includes DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 relies on PCIe 4.0 and DisplayPort 1.4a, though it does offer two HDMI ports compared to one on its rival.

When it comes to video streaming and recording, the Blackwell card adds H.264 and HEVC hardware encode support alongside AV1, whereas the older card only explicitly lists AV1 encode capabilities.
