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 566 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 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2013 with a MSRP of $699. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK110B) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 780 Ti has 3 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,753 MHz memory clock and a 384 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 336.6 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 GTX 780 Ti includes 2,880 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 875 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 928 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 240 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GTX 780 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The GTX 780 Ti has the 158th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 12.04% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 15,619 score and $699 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 22.34. This is the 93rd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
