NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER occupy entirely different segments of the GPU landscape. The RTX 4060 Mobile is a laptop-class part designed for compact, power-efficient systems, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a desktop-class card with a dual-slot cooler and a 16-pin power connector. The data shows that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers a step-change in raw compute capability, with its FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS versus the RTX 4060 Mobile's 11.61 TFLOPS, a 3.8x advantage. The RTX 4060 Mobile, meanwhile, carries a TDP of 115 W and uses no external power connector, making it suitable for integrated builds, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws 350 W and requires a dedicated power feed.

For laptop buyers, the RTX 4060 Mobile is the only choice from this pair, as the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a desktop card with dimensions of 304 mm length, 137 mm height, and 48 mm width. For desktop builders prioritizing maximum performance in modern workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear pick, with 8960 shading units, 280 tensor cores, and 70 RT cores, compared to 3072 shading units, 96 tensor cores, and 24 RT cores on the RTX 4060 Mobile. The percentile data reinforces this split: the RTX 4060 Mobile sits at the 67th percentile of all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile, which reflects its position among a different, higher-performance benchmark pool.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations and architectures. The RTX 4060 Mobile uses the AD107 chip built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40-series and the GeForce 40 Mobile generation. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50-series and the GeForce 50 generation. Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process, but the transistor counts diverge sharply: the RTX 4060 Mobile packs 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. Transistor density is similar, at 118.9M per mm² for the RTX 4060 Mobile and 120.6M per mm² for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, indicating that the performance gap comes primarily from physical size and scale rather than density improvements.

Memory subsystems are also fundamentally different. The RTX 4060 Mobile uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a 3.5x increase in memory bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also runs its memory at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, versus 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective on the RTX 4060 Mobile. The bus interface differs as well: the RTX 4060 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16, doubling the lane count and doubling the interface generation.

Other architectural differences include the clock speeds. The RTX 4060 Mobile has a base clock of 1545 MHz and a boost clock of 1890 MHz, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also has a higher pixel rate at 235.4 GPixel/s versus 90.72 GPixel/s, and a higher texture rate at 686.6 GTexel/s versus 181.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the newer release, dated 2025-12-31, while the RTX 4060 Mobile was released on 2023-01-02. Both support the same API set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two GPUs, and the wins tally is 0 for each. However, the individual benchmark records provide a basis for comparison. The RTX 4060 Mobile has a rich benchmark history: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 89420, a Geekbench Vulkan score of 89569, Passmark DirectX 10 score of 107, DirectX 11 score of 157, DirectX 12 score of 73, DirectX 9 score of 216, G2D score of 730, G3D score of 17469, and a GPU compute score of 6816. Its average benchmark score is 22729.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded benchmark: a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5, with an average benchmark score of 6270. Because the benchmark suites are different, a direct numerical comparison is not possible. The RTX 4060 Mobile's average score of 22729 comes from multiple legacy and compute tests, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average of 6270 comes from a single modern DX12 test. The nearest rivals for each GPU illustrate the competitive context. For the RTX 4060 Mobile, the closest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with an average score of 22895 (0.7% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with 22549 (0.8% behind), the Intel Arc B580 with 23021 (1.3% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile with 22435 (1.3% behind). For the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the closest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with an average score of 6270 (0% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro K620 with 6282 (0.2% behind), the AMD FirePro W600 with 6223 (0.8% ahead), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 with 6327 (0.9% behind). The data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's score is essentially tied with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, while the RTX 4060 Mobile trades blows with its immediate rivals within a narrow band of plus or minus 1.3%.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4060 Mobile wins in portability and integration. Its IGP slot width, lack of a power connector, and 115 W TDP make it suitable for systems where space and power draw are constrained. Its PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is a lower-bandwidth connection, but this aligns with its mobile positioning. The RTX 4060 Mobile also has a broader benchmark record, with scores across Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and multiple Passmark tests, indicating it has been measured across a wider range of workloads. Its 67th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the median in the overall database.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in raw performance and memory capacity. Its 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is nearly four times that of the RTX 4060 Mobile, and its 896.0 GB/s bandwidth is more than three times higher. The 16 GB memory capacity allows for larger datasets, and the 256-bit bus provides the width to feed that memory efficiently. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also uses PCIe 5.0 x16, providing double the interface throughput of the RTX 4060 Mobile's PCIe 4.0 x8. Its display outputs are explicitly specified as 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, whereas the RTX 4060 Mobile's display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," meaning the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers a fixed, desktop-oriented output configuration.

For compute-intensive workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's higher TMU count of 280 versus 96, and ROP count of 96 versus 48, give it a clear advantage in texture and pixel throughput. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 70 RT cores versus 24, and 280 tensor cores versus 96, point to a substantial lead in ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks. The RTX 4060 Mobile remains viable for lighter workloads or battery-conscious environments, but the benchmark and specification data consistently show the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER as the dominant performer in every measured category except power efficiency and physical size.
