NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile vs NVIDIA TITAN Xp Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits cleanly along workload lines. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile takes the modern, API-heavy tests, while the NVIDIA TITAN Xp dominates in legacy DirectX modes, 2D work, and raw compute throughput. Out of nine head-to-head comparisons, the TITAN Xp wins five, the RTX 4060 Mobile wins four, but the margins tell a more interesting story than the raw win count.

The RTX 4060 Mobile's largest victory comes in Geekbench OpenCL, where it scores 89,420 against the TITAN Xp's 72,585, a 23.2% advantage. This is the single biggest delta in either direction across the entire comparison. It also wins Geekbench Vulkan by a narrower 2.7% margin (89,569 vs 87,180), plus DirectX 11 (157 vs 152, up 3.3%) and DirectX 12 (73 vs 69, up 5.8%). These are the tests that matter for contemporary gaming and general compute workloads, and the Ada Lovelace architecture clearly has the edge there.

The TITAN Xp counters with dominance in compute-heavy and legacy scenarios. Its Passmark GPU Compute score of 9,430 crushes the RTX 4060 Mobile's 6,816, a 27.7% gap. It also leads in Passmark G2D (883 vs 730, up 17.3%), DirectX 10 (119 vs 107, up 10.1%), DirectX 9 (226 vs 216, up 4.4%), and the overall Passmark G3D score (18,750 vs 17,469, up 6.8%). The TITAN Xp's 384-bit memory bus and 547.6 GB/s bandwidth appear to serve it well in these older rasterization paths.

The overall average benchmark scores reflect this split. The RTX 4060 Mobile posts an average of 22,729, which places it at the 67th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The TITAN Xp averages 19,177, at the 64th percentile. The RTX 4060 Mobile is the better all-rounder in modern tests, but the TITAN Xp remains a specialized tool for specific compute and legacy DirectX workloads.

The Verdict

Choose the RTX 4060 Mobile if your priority is modern API performance, efficiency, and portability. The data shows it ahead in OpenCL, Vulkan, DirectX 11, and DirectX 12. It is the only one of the two with ray tracing cores (24 of them) and tensor cores (96 of them), making it the obvious pick for any workload that uses those features. It also draws 115 W compared to the TITAN Xp's 250 W, and it is an IGP form factor with no power connectors, meaning it is designed for laptops where the TITAN Xp cannot physically fit.

Choose the TITAN Xp if your work is built around compute throughput or older DirectX versions. Its Passmark GPU Compute score is 27.7% higher, and it wins DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 outright. The 12 GB of GDDR5X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 547.6 GB/s of bandwidth, more than double the RTX 4060 Mobile's 256.0 GB/s. For users running compute kernels that are not optimized for tensor cores, or for legacy applications locked to DirectX 9 or 10, the TITAN Xp remains the stronger choice despite being an end-of-life product from 2017.

The RTX 4060 Mobile is the better modern GPU. The TITAN Xp is the better legacy compute card. There is no single winner across all tests, and the 5-4 split in the TITAN Xp's favor in head-to-head wins does not outweigh the RTX 4060 Mobile's larger modern API margins.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single-test gap is in Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 4060 Mobile scores 89,420 against the TITAN Xp's 72,585, a 23.2% lead. This is a decisive win for the newer architecture and suggests that OpenCL workloads, which often scale with driver optimization and architectural efficiency, favor Ada Lovelace heavily.

The TITAN Xp's biggest win is in Passmark GPU Compute, where it scores 9,430 versus 6,816, a 27.7% advantage. This is the inverse of the OpenCL result. The TITAN Xp's 3,840 shading units and 240 texture mapping units provide raw compute muscle that the RTX 4060 Mobile's 3,072 shading units and 96 TMUs cannot match in this specific test.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the RTX 4060 Mobile wins by a modest 2.7% (89,569 vs 87,180). This is close, and the TITAN Xp's 12 GB memory buffer may help it in Vulkan scenes that exceed 8 GB, but the RTX 4060 Mobile still comes out ahead.

The DirectX tests show a pattern. The RTX 4060 Mobile wins DirectX 11 (157 vs 152, up 3.3%) and DirectX 12 (73 vs 69, up 5.8%), while the TITAN Xp wins DirectX 9 (226 vs 216, up 4.4%) and DirectX 10 (119 vs 107, up 10.1%). The newer GPU handles the more recent APIs better, the older GPU handles the legacy paths better.

The Passmark G3D score, which is the overall gaming-oriented metric, goes to the TITAN Xp at 18,750 versus 17,469, a 6.8% margin. The Passmark G2D score goes to the TITAN Xp as well, 883 versus 730, a 17.3% gap. These two wins suggest the TITAN Xp still has an edge in pure rasterization throughput, likely due to its 96 ROPs and 151.9 GPixel/s pixel rate versus the RTX 4060 Mobile's 48 ROPs and 90.72 GPixel/s.

Architecture Differences

The RTX 4060 Mobile is built on the AD107 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture on TSMC's 5 nm process. It packs 18,900 million transistors into a 159 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 118.9M per mm². It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes ray tracing and mesh shaders. It has 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores, enabling hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-based features like DLSS.

The TITAN Xp is built on the GP102 chip using the Pascal architecture on TSMC's 16 nm process. It contains 11,800 million transistors on a much larger 471 mm² die, with a transistor density of just 25.1M per mm². It supports DirectX 12 (12_1), which is a lower feature level than the RTX 4060 Mobile's 12_2. It has no RT cores and no tensor cores, so it cannot do hardware ray tracing or tensor-based AI acceleration.

The process node difference is significant: 5 nm versus 16 nm. That is why the RTX 4060 Mobile fits 18,900 million transistors into a die less than half the size of the TITAN Xp's. The TITAN Xp compensates with a much wider memory bus (384-bit vs 128-bit) and more memory (12 GB vs 8 GB), but it draws 250 W versus 115 W.

The TITAN Xp is a dual-slot, 267 mm long card requiring a 600 W power supply and one 6-pin plus one 8-pin connector. The RTX 4060 Mobile is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors, designed to be soldered onto a laptop motherboard. The TITAN Xp also has fixed display outputs (1x HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.4a), while the RTX 4060 Mobile's outputs are portable device dependent.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ on nearly every core specification. The RTX 4060 Mobile has 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The TITAN Xp has 3,840 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The TITAN Xp has 25% more shaders, 150% more TMUs, and double the ROPs.

Clock speeds favor the RTX 4060 Mobile. Its base clock is 1545 MHz and boost is 1890 MHz, versus the TITAN Xp's 1405 MHz base and 1582 MHz boost. Memory clocks also differ: the RTX 4060 Mobile runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, the TITAN Xp at 1426 MHz with 11.4 Gbps effective.

Memory configuration is a major split. The RTX 4060 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 256.0 GB/s. The TITAN Xp has 12 GB of GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus, yielding 547.6 GB/s. The TITAN Xp has over twice the bandwidth and 50% more capacity.

Compute rates differ by workload. The RTX 4060 Mobile delivers 11.61 TFLOPS FP32 and 11.61 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). The TITAN Xp delivers 12.15 TFLOPS FP32 but only 189.8 GFLOPS FP16 (1:64 ratio). The TITAN Xp is slightly ahead in FP32, but the RTX 4060 Mobile is dramatically ahead in FP16.

Pixel and texture rates favor the TITAN Xp. It achieves 151.9 GPixel/s and 379.7 GTexel/s, versus the RTX 4060 Mobile's 90.72 GPixel/s and 181.4 GTexel/s. The TITAN Xp is 67% faster in pixel fill and 109% faster in texture fill.

Bus interface differs: the RTX 4060 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x8, the TITAN Xp uses PCIe 3.0 x16. The RTX 4060 Mobile is active production, released in 2023; the TITAN Xp is end-of-life, released in 2017 with a launch MSRP of 1,199 USD. The TITAN Xp's predecessor is GeForce 900 and successor is GeForce 20; the RTX 4060 Mobile's predecessor is GeForce 30 Mobile and successor is GeForce 50 Mobile.
