RTX 5060 vs RTX 4060

The RTX 5060 replaces the RTX 4060 at the same official launch price ($299). Both have 8 GB and a 128-bit bus, but the 5060 moves to GDDR7 and the Blackwell architecture.

RTX 5060

Pick it if…

You're building a new PC and the price difference is small: more performance, faster memory and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation.

RTX 4060

Pick it if…

You find it for quite a bit less or your power supply is very tight: it draws less power (115 W vs 150 W).

Note. MSRP is the recommended launch price, not the current price. There are no GPU benchmarks on the site yet: the table compares specifications.

Comparison breakdown

Performance

The 5060 goes from 3072 to 3840 CUDA cores and uses GDDR7. In Blender (Blender Open Data results) it performs about 20% better than the 4060. In games the improvement is similar and grows with DLSS 4 if you use Multi Frame Generation.

Memory

Both have 8 GB, which is still a limitation in some recent games with high textures. If you want more memory in this range, look at the RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB or the RX 9060 XT 16 GB.

Power and PCIe

150 W for the 5060 and 115 W for the 4060. Both use 8 PCIe lanes: on older PCIe 3.0 motherboards they lose some performance, something to keep in mind if you're upgrading an older PC.
