NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 vs Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA Comparison

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 and the Lisuan Tech LX ULTRA occupy opposite ends of the performance spectrum within the same generation window. The RTX 4060 AD106 is a compact, power-efficient Ada Lovelace part aimed at mainstream resolutions, while the LX ULTRA is a large, actively produced TrueGPU architecture card with triple the memory capacity and significantly higher compute throughput. The recorded data shows no head-to-head benchmark entries, so the analysis below relies entirely on the architectural and specification differences captured in the database, along with the percentile rankings, which are identical for both cards at 50. This percentile match indicates that, in the aggregate of all GPUs tracked, both sit at the median, but their individual characteristics point to very different intended workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4060 AD106 wins in efficiency and feature completeness for conventional gaming workloads. Its 115 W TDP, combined with a 5 nm TSMC process and 22,900 million transistors packed into 188 mm², gives it a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². This density allows the card to deliver 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance while drawing less than half the power of its competitor. The Ada Lovelace architecture includes 24 RT cores and 96 Tensor cores, which are absent from the LX ULTRA’s specification sheet entirely. For any application that relies on hardware-accelerated ray tracing or AI-assisted features such as DLSS, the RTX 4060 AD106 is the only option with dedicated silicon. It also supports Vulkan 1.4, whereas the LX ULTRA lists Vulkan 1.3, a minor but notable version gap.

The LX ULTRA wins in raw throughput, memory capacity, and memory bandwidth. Its 24 GB GDDR6 frame buffer is three times larger than the 8 GB on the RTX 4060 AD106. The 192-bit memory bus yields 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a 58.8% increase over the 272.0 GB/s available to the NVIDIA card. The shading unit count is exactly double: 6144 versus 3072, with equally doubled TMUs (192 vs 96) and ROPs (96 vs 48). This hardware configuration produces 24.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, which is 62.7% higher than the RTX 4060 AD106’s 15.11 TFLOPS. The FP16 rate is even more lopsided: the LX ULTRA delivers 49.15 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 4060 AD106 manages only 15.11 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. That is a 3.25x advantage in half-precision throughput, which matters for machine learning inference and certain scientific workloads.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern. The LX ULTRA renders 192.0 GPixel/s and 384.0 GTexel/s, versus 118.1 GPixel/s and 236.2 GTexel/s for the RTX 4060 AD106. These figures represent 62.5% and 62.6% advantages, respectively. The memory clock also favors the LX ULTRA: 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). The bus interface widens the gap further, with the LX ULTRA using PCIe 4.0 x16 while the RTX 4060 AD106 is limited to PCIe 4.0 x8. In scenarios where the CPU must stream large datasets to the GPU, the x16 link provides twice the bidirectional throughput.

Display outputs differentiate the two as well. The RTX 4060 AD106 offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the LX ULTRA has 4x DisplayPort 1.4a with no HDMI. For multi-monitor setups using only DisplayPort, the LX ULTRA is more flexible; for mixed HDMI/DP configurations, the NVIDIA card wins.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split: the RTX 4060 AD106 is the card for gamers and content creators who value hardware ray tracing, Tensor Core acceleration, and low power draw. Its 50th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it squarely in the midrange, and its 115 W TDP means it can fit into systems with a 300 W suggested power supply. The LX ULTRA, also at the 50th percentile, is a different beast: it is designed for compute-heavy tasks that need large memory and high FP32/FP16 throughput, but it lacks RT and Tensor cores, making it a poor choice for modern ray-traced gaming or DLSS-dependent workloads.

The LX ULTRA’s 225 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU indicate it belongs in a workstation or high-end desktop, not a small form factor build. Its physical dimensions (268 mm length, 112 mm height, 40 mm width) confirm this: it is a full-size dual-slot card. The RTX 4060 AD106 has no recorded dimensions, but its lower power envelope and single 12-pin connector suggest a much smaller footprint. Neither card has a launch MSRP in the database, so no price comparison is possible.

For a user who prioritizes ray tracing, the RTX 4060 AD106 is the only choice because the LX ULTRA lists no RT cores. For a user who prioritizes raw compute per watt, the RTX 4060 AD106 also wins: it produces 0.131 TFLOPS per watt of FP32, versus 0.109 TFLOPS per watt for the LX ULTRA. However, for absolute FP32 performance, the LX ULTRA is ahead by 9.47 TFLOPS. For FP16, the LX ULTRA is ahead by 34.04 TFLOPS. The verdict is straightforward: the RTX 4060 AD106 wins on efficiency and feature set, the LX ULTRA wins on brute force and memory capacity.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct benchmark entries for these two cards, so the comparison must be made from their recorded specification-based rates. The largest win for the LX ULTRA is in FP16 compute. The RTX 4060 AD106 operates FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32, giving 15.11 TFLOPS. The LX ULTRA operates at a 2:1 ratio, giving 49.15 TFLOPS. This 34.04 TFLOPS difference is the single biggest numerical gap in the entire comparison. In practical terms, any workload that can use half-precision arithmetic, such as training neural networks with mixed precision, will see a massive advantage on the LX ULTRA.

The second-largest win is in memory bandwidth. The LX ULTRA’s 432.0 GB/s exceeds the RTX 4060 AD106’s 272.0 GB/s by 160.0 GB/s, a 58.8% margin. This directly affects texture streaming, large dataset processing, and resolution scaling. The LX ULTRA also has a 16 GB memory capacity advantage, which means it can hold far larger working sets without spilling to system memory.

The RTX 4060 AD106 wins in power efficiency and API support. At 115 W, it draws 110 W less than the LX ULTRA’s 225 W. The suggested PSU reflects this: 300 W versus 550 W. The Vulkan version is newer on the RTX 4060 AD106 (1.4 vs 1.3), and it includes dedicated RT and Tensor hardware that the LX ULTRA lacks entirely. The RTX 4060 AD106 also supports HDMI 2.1, which the LX ULTRA does not.

The pixel rate difference is substantial: the LX ULTRA’s 192.0 GPixel/s is 73.9 GPixel/s higher than the RTX 4060 AD106’s 118.1 GPixel/s. Texture rate follows with a 147.8 GTexel/s difference. These rates suggest the LX ULTRA can sustain higher fill rates in rasterized scenes, but without RT cores, it cannot handle the same visual effects pipelines.

The memory clock difference is small but present: 2250 MHz versus 2125 MHz. The bus width difference, 192-bit versus 128-bit, is the primary driver of the bandwidth gap. The shading unit count doubles exactly, as do TMUs and ROPs, which is consistent with a chip designed for parallel throughput rather than feature-rich rendering.
