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 62nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.11% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 37,777 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 126.34. This is the 10th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 6600 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2021 with a MSRP of $329. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 23) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 224 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 RX 6600 includes 1,792 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,626 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,491 MHz. It usually operates at 2,044 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 112 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 28 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 6600 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 132 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 6600 has the 85th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 567 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 24.48% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 31,774 score and $329 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 96.58. This is the 27th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
