Analysis: AMD Radeon 8065S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
The Verdict
The database contains complete benchmark and specification records for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, while the AMD Radeon 8065S has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. The RTX 4060 is a discrete dual-slot card with 8 GB of dedicated GDDR6 memory, a 128-bit bus, and 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 8065S is an integrated graphics processor with system-shared memory, making its bandwidth and capacity system-dependent. The RTX 4060 reports an average benchmark score of 17639 and sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs, while the Radeon 8065S sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0. Given the absence of recorded performance data for the AMD part, the only data-driven selection is the RTX 4060 for any workload requiring verified benchmark results. The Radeon 8065S may appeal to users who need an integrated solution with no power connectors and a 55 W TDP, but its performance cannot be quantified from the current database.
Where Each One Wins
The RTX 4060 wins in every measurable category because it is the only part with benchmark data. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 2302. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 95057, and in Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 48643. Passmark results include a G3D score of 19545, a GPU compute score of 9213, a G2D score of 1037, and legacy DirectX scores of 103 (DX10), 175 (DX11), 76 (DX12), and 236 (DX9). The AMD Radeon 8065S has zero recorded scores in every test category.
For the Radeon 8065S, the wins are architectural rather than benchmark-based. It uses a 4 nm process compared to the RTX 4060's 5 nm process. It offers 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. The RTX 4060 has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores. The Radeon 8065S reports a higher pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s versus 118.1 GPixel/s, and a higher texture rate of 480.0 GTexel/s versus 236.2 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is nearly identical, with the AMD part at 15.36 TFLOPS and the NVIDIA part at 15.11 TFLOPS.
The RTX 4060 wins on memory configuration. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 8065S uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth. The RTX 4060 also wins on connectivity with 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, whereas the AMD part's display outputs are portable device dependent.
