About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2023 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Ada Lovelace GPU microarchitecture (codename AD107) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,125 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 272 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 4060 includes 3,072 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,830 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,460 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 96 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 96 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 24 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 4060 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 115 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 4060 has the 42nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.51% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 38,191 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 127.73. This is the 4th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon 740M GPU

The AMD Radeon 740M is an integrated graphics card that launched in Q1 2023. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Phoenix) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The 740M includes 256 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 800 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,500 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 8 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 4 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 15 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
