NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 Comparison

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 are both Ada Lovelace parts from the GeForce 40-series, but they target different segments. The Mobile variant is built on the AD107 chip and intended for laptops, while the Ti AD104 uses a larger AD104 chip and is a desktop card. The database contains a full set of benchmark scores for the Mobile part, while the Ti AD104 has no recorded benchmark entries, so the comparison relies on the Mobile GPU’s measured results and the architectural specifications of both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile has recorded scores across nine tests. Its average benchmark score is 22729, and it sits in the 67th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with an average score of 22895, which places the Mobile GPU 0.7% behind that older desktop card. Against the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, the Mobile GPU leads by 0.8%, with the AMD part scoring 22549. The Intel Arc B580 scores 23021, putting it 1.3% ahead of the Mobile GPU. Finally, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile scores 22435, which the RTX 4060 Mobile beats by 1.3%.

Since the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has no benchmark scores in the database, the head-to-head comparison is indirect. The Ti AD104’s theoretical specifications are substantially higher, but no measured results exist to confirm real-world performance. The Mobile GPU’s data shows it competes closely with desktop GPUs from the previous generation, as the 0.7% gap to the RTX 2080 indicates. Its 1.3% advantage over the RTX 5060 Mobile suggests that within the mobile segment, the older part remains competitive against its successor.

For the Ti AD104, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot assign it a comparative score. Its percentile ranking is 50, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. The Mobile GPU’s percentile of 67 indicates that in the recorded measurements, it outperforms a majority of all GPUs tracked. The Ti AD104’s percentile of 50 is a placeholder based on no data, not a measured result.

The biggest win for the Mobile GPU in the recorded data is its Passmark G3D score of 17469, which drives much of its average. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 89569 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 89420 are also strong. The weakest recorded results are the Passmark DirectX 12 score of 73 and the Passmark DirectX 10 score of 107, indicating that older or lower-level API workloads do not favor this chip as much as compute-heavy or modern API tests.

Without any benchmark entries for the Ti AD104, the database shows no direct wins for either part. The Mobile GPU has all nine recorded scores, while the Ti AD104 has none. This asymmetry means the head-to-head section is dominated by the Mobile GPU’s measured performance, and the Ti AD104’s case rests entirely on its specification sheet.

Q: What is the TDP for each GPU?

A: The RTX 4060 Mobile has a TDP of 115 W and is listed as an IGP slot width with no power connectors, reflecting its mobile design. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 has a TDP of 160 W, uses a dual-slot design with a 1x 16-pin power connector, and has a suggested PSU of 450 W.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the RTX 4060 Mobile is a measured performer with a strong showing in the database. Its average benchmark score of 22729 places it in the 67th percentile, and it trades narrow margins with desktop GPUs like the RTX 2080 and RX 7700 XT. For mobile users, this GPU delivers competitive performance that is close to older desktop parts, as shown by the 0.7% gap to the RTX 2080 and the 1.3% lead over the RTX 5060 Mobile.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104, however, has no recorded benchmarks. Its theoretical specifications are much higher: 4352 shading units versus 3072, 136 texture mapping units versus 96, and 34 ray tracing cores versus 24. Its FP32 compute is 22.06 TFLOPS compared to 11.61 TFLOPS for the Mobile GPU. These numbers suggest a large performance advantage, but the database cannot confirm it with any measured score.

For users who rely on recorded data, the RTX 4060 Mobile is the only part with verified results. Its percentile of 67 indicates it outperforms most GPUs in the database. The Ti AD104’s percentile of 50 and average score of 0 are not meaningful measurements, so any decision involving the Ti AD104 must be made on specifications alone, not on benchmark evidence.

The Mobile GPU is the safer choice for anyone who needs verified performance numbers. The Ti AD104 is a desktop part with a higher TDP, dual-slot cooling, and a 16-pin connector, but its lack of benchmark data means the database cannot validate its real-world behavior. In short, pick the RTX 4060 Mobile if you want measured results; pick the RTX 4060 Ti AD104 only if you trust its specification sheet over any recorded evidence.
