AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Comparison

The Verdict

The database places the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, while the AMD Radeon RX 7400 OEM sits in the 50th percentile. The RTX 4060 carries an average benchmark score of 17,639 across its recorded tests, which is roughly double the raw compute throughput of the RX 7400 OEM as measured by FP32 performance. The RX 7400 OEM has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, so direct head-to-head measurements are absent; however, the specification data strongly indicates that the RTX 4060 delivers substantially higher frame rates in most workloads. The RTX 4060 also benefits from a much higher boost clock, more shading units, and more texture fill rate. For users seeking maximum gaming performance, the RTX 4060 is the clear choice based on the recorded data. The RX 7400 OEM, with its 55 W power draw and single-slot design, suits constrained builds where thermal and space limits matter more than raw speed. Its 50th percentile placement suggests it performs at the median of all GPUs, making it a functional but not high-end option.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architectural families. AMD uses RDNA 3.0, built on a 6 nm TSMC process with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. NVIDIA uses Ada Lovelace on a 5 nm TSMC process with the AD107 chip. The transistor counts differ significantly: AMD packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a density of 65.2M per mm². NVIDIA crams 18,900 million transistors into a smaller 159 mm² die, achieving 118.9M per mm². This density advantage explains why the RTX 4060 delivers higher performance per area. The Radeon has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, while the GeForce has 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The RTX 4060 also includes 96 tensor cores and 24 ray tracing cores, whereas the RX 7400 OEM has 28 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The ray tracing core counts are close, but the tensor cores give NVIDIA a distinct edge in AI-accelerated workloads. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is identical. The Radeon uses PCIe 4.0 x8, and the GeForce also uses PCIe 4.0 x8, so bandwidth to the host is the same.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the RX 7400 OEM has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, a direct comparison must rely on specification-derived estimates. The RTX 4060 records a PassMark G3D score of 19,545, which places it 0.2% behind the AMD Radeon HD 7790, 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon 780M, 0.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 560, and 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 460. These nearest rival deltas show that the RTX 4060 sits in a tight cluster around the 17,500 to 17,700 average score range. The RX 7400 OEM, with no benchmarks, cannot be positioned in this cluster. Looking at raw compute, the RTX 4060 delivers 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 versus the RX 7400 OEM's 7.885 TFLOPS, a 91.7% advantage. Texture rate favors the GeForce at 236.2 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s, a 91.7% lead. Pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s, a 67.8% advantage for NVIDIA. Memory bandwidth also favors the RTX 4060 at 272.0 GB/s versus 172.8 GB/s, a 57.4% lead. The GeForce scores 2,302 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, and while the Radeon has no comparable score, the FP32 gap suggests a similar magnitude of difference in that test. The RTX 4060 also records GeekBench OpenCL at 95,057 and Vulkan at 48,643, plus PassMark compute at 9,213. The RX 7400 OEM lacks all these entries.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in almost every measurable specification. Clock speeds: the Radeon base clock is 330 MHz with a boost of 1100 MHz, while the GeForce base is 1830 MHz with a boost of 2460 MHz. Memory clocks: 1350 MHz (10.8 Gbps effective) for AMD versus 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA. Both have 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, but bandwidth differs as noted. The Radeon has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 28 RT cores; the GeForce has 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores. Power draw: 55 W versus 115 W. Slot width: single-slot versus dual-slot. Power connectors: 1x 6-pin versus 1x 12-pin. Suggested PSU: 250 W versus 300 W. Physical dimensions: 167 mm length for AMD versus 240 mm length, 111 mm height, and 40 mm width for NVIDIA. Display outputs: AMD has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1; NVIDIA has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Release dates: August 7, 2025 for the Radeon versus May 17, 2023 for the GeForce. The RTX 4060 is marked end-of-life in production status, while the RX 7400 OEM has no production status recorded. The RTX 4060 has a launch MSRP of 299 USD, stated once here as recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4060 wins in raw performance across every compute metric recorded. Its FP32 throughput is nearly double, its texture rate is nearly double, and its pixel rate is 67.8% higher. Memory bandwidth favors NVIDIA by 57.4%, which matters in texture-heavy scenes and high-resolution rendering. The tensor cores provide an additional capability that the RX 7400 OEM lacks entirely, making the RTX 4060 suitable for AI-accelerated features and DLSS-style workloads if such software is used. The RTX 4060's 61st percentile placement versus the RX 7400 OEM's 50th percentile confirms that the NVIDIA card sits above the median in overall GPU performance.

The RX 7400 OEM wins in efficiency and physical footprint. Its 55 W TDP is less than half of the RTX 4060's 115 W, and its single-slot design at 167 mm length fits in cases where the dual-slot, 240 mm RTX 4060 cannot. The Radeon also offers DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, which support newer display standards than the RTX 4060's DisplayPort 1.4a. The AMD card has more ROPs (64 versus 48) and more TMUs (112 versus 96), though the GeForce compensates with higher clocks. The RX 7400 OEM's 28 ray tracing cores exceed the RTX 4060's 24, but without benchmark data, the practical impact of this advantage remains unverified. The Radeon also has a more recent release date of August 2025 versus May 2023, suggesting it is a newer product generation.

In gaming scenarios where frame rate is the priority, the RTX 4060 dominates based on the recorded specifications. In scenarios prioritizing low power draw, compact dimensions, and modern display connectivity, the RX 7400 OEM holds the advantage. The 50th percentile placement for the Radeon indicates it performs at the median of all GPUs, which is adequate for standard 1080p gaming but not competitive with the RTX 4060's higher-tier positioning. The RTX 4060's nearest rivals, including the AMD Radeon HD 7790 and Radeon 780M, all score within 0.7% of each other, showing that the GeForce occupies a dense performance tier where small differences matter. The RX 7400 OEM has no rival data to compare, leaving its exact positioning relative to those cards unknown.
