NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 vs NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation Comparison

# Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation target different deployment scenarios, and the recorded data makes this split explicit. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 is a consumer desktop card from the GeForce 40-series, built for interactive rendering and high-throughput compute in a conventional PCIe slot. The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation belongs to the Ada-MW generation, an embedded product line designed for compact, power-constrained systems.

The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 wins on raw compute throughput. Its FP32 rate of 22.06 TFLOPS is nearly double the 12.35 TFLOPS of the RTX 2000 Embedded. This advantage carries through texture work: the 4060 Ti delivers 344.8 GTexel/s versus 193.0 GTexel/s for the embedded part. Pixel fill rates also favor the desktop card, 121.7 GPixel/s versus 96.48 GPixel/s. Any workload dominated by shader execution, texture sampling, or rasterization will favor the 4060 Ti AD104.

The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation wins on power efficiency and installation flexibility. Its 50 W TDP is one-third of the 160 W TDP of the 4060 Ti AD104. The embedded card requires no power connectors, while the 4060 Ti AD104 uses a 16-pin connector and a suggested 450 W power supply. The RTX 2000 Embedded is an IGP form factor, meaning it integrates directly into a system board without occupying an expansion slot. The 4060 Ti AD104 is a dual-slot card measuring 240 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. For embedded systems, industrial PCs, or any chassis with tight thermal and spatial constraints, the RTX 2000 Embedded is the only viable option among the two.

Memory bandwidth favors the 4060 Ti AD104, which reaches 288.0 GB/s against 256.0 GB/s for the RTX 2000 Embedded. Both cards use 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, so the difference comes from clock speed. The 4060 Ti runs memory at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the embedded part runs at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). This 12.5% bandwidth gap can matter for memory-bound workloads, but the embedded card's lower power envelope compensates in systems where thermal design power is the limiting factor.

# Architecture Differences

Both GPUs use the Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The similarities end at the architecture level. The RTX 4060 Ti AD104 uses the AD104 chip with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The RTX 2000 Embedded uses the AD107 chip with 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, a density of 118.9 million per square millimeter. The AD104 die is nearly double the area of the AD107 and carries roughly 89% more transistors.

The execution resource counts reflect this difference. The 4060 Ti AD104 has 4352 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs. The RTX 2000 Embedded has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The desktop card thus provides 41.7% more shading units and 41.7% more TMUs, while ROP counts are identical.

Ray tracing and tensor hardware scale similarly. The 4060 Ti AD104 includes 34 RT cores and 136 tensor cores. The RTX 2000 Embedded includes 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. The desktop card has 41.7% more RT cores and tensor cores, matching the shading unit ratio.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The 4060 Ti AD104 has a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2535 MHz. The RTX 2000 Embedded has a base clock of 1530 MHz and a boost clock of 2010 MHz. The desktop card's boost clock is 26.1% higher than the embedded card's boost clock. This clock advantage compounds with the larger execution resource pool.

Both cards support the same API levels: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The PCIe interface differs: the 4060 Ti AD104 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 2000 Embedded uses PCIe 4.0 x16. For most workloads the x8 link is sufficient, but the embedded card's x16 interface provides twice the lane count for data transfer.

Display outputs also separate the two. The 4060 Ti AD104 provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. The RTX 2000 Embedded's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, meaning the integration determines what video ports are available. This reflects the embedded card's role as a component for system integrators rather than a standalone retail product.

The production status and release timing differ. The 4060 Ti AD104 was released on 2024-03-31 and is marked end-of-life. The RTX 2000 Embedded was released on 2023-03-20 and remains active. The embedded card's predecessor is Ampere-MW and its successor is Blackwell-MW, while the 4060 Ti's predecessor is GeForce 30 and its successor is GeForce 50.

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data provides no direct head-to-head scores, so the comparison relies on the specification-derived performance indicators in the database. The FP32 throughput gap is the clearest differentiator. The 4060 Ti AD104 delivers 22.06 TFLOPS, which is 78.6% higher than the RTX 2000 Embedded's 12.35 TFLOPS. In practical terms, a compute workload that takes one hour on the embedded card would take approximately 34 minutes on the desktop card, assuming perfect scaling.

Texture throughput shows a similar pattern. The 4060 Ti AD104 reaches 344.8 GTexel/s, or 78.6% above the 193.0 GTexel/s of the RTX 2000 Embedded. This directly benefits texture-heavy rendering, such as detailed surface shading in games or material previews in 3D applications.

Pixel fill rate is closer. The 4060 Ti AD104 outputs 121.7 GPixel/s, while the RTX 2000 Embedded outputs 96.48 GPixel/s. The desktop card holds a 26.1% advantage. Since both cards have 48 ROPs, this difference comes entirely from the clock speed gap. Rasterization-heavy workloads at high resolutions will favor the desktop card but not by the same margin as compute or texture workloads.

Memory bandwidth favors the 4060 Ti AD104 by 12.5%, 288.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s. For large data sets that exceed cache capacity, this bandwidth advantage reduces memory stall time. The embedded card's lower bandwidth is a consequence of its lower memory clock, which in turn supports its 50 W power target.

The transistor and die size data also indicate the performance hierarchy. The AD104 die at 294 mm² has 35,800 million transistors, while the AD107 die at 159 mm² has 18,900 million transistors. The larger die provides the execution resources and clock headroom that drive the performance gaps described above. The transistor density is nearly identical, 121.8 million per mm² versus 118.9 million per mm², confirming that the performance difference comes from scale rather than architectural efficiency.

Both GPUs are in the same percentile against all GPUs, at 50. The average benchmark score is zero for both, so no aggregate performance figure separates them. The specification analysis must therefore stand as the primary comparison.

# The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti AD104 outperforms the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation across every measured compute metric: FP32, texture rate, pixel rate, and memory bandwidth. For any workload where raw throughput determines completion time, the 4060 Ti AD104 is the stronger part.

The RTX 2000 Embedded Ada Generation serves a different purpose. Its 50 W TDP, IGP form factor, and lack of power connectors make it suitable for embedded systems where the 4060 Ti AD104 cannot physically fit or cannot be powered. The 4060 Ti AD104 requires a dual-slot chassis, a 16-pin power connector, and a 450 W power supply. The RTX 2000 Embedded requires none of these. The embedded card also uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which may suit systems that need maximum host interface bandwidth.

The production status favors the RTX 2000 Embedded for long-term design wins. It is active, while the 4060 Ti AD104 is end-of-life. The 4060 Ti AD104 has a successor in the GeForce 50 series, while the embedded card's successor is Blackwell-MW. A system designer planning for multi-year availability would choose the embedded part based on its active status.

The RTX 2000 Embedded also has a lower base clock, 1530 MHz versus 2310 MHz, and a lower boost clock, 2010 MHz versus 2535 MHz. These lower clocks directly enable the 50 W TDP. The tradeoff is a 78.6% reduction in FP32 throughput, a 44.0% reduction in texture rate, and a 20.7% reduction in pixel rate relative to the 4060 Ti AD104.

The memory configuration is identical in capacity and bus width: 8 GB GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus. The bandwidth difference, 288.0 GB/s versus 256.0 GB/s, is modest compared to the compute differences. For memory-bound workloads that fit within 8 GB, the cards are closer than the compute numbers suggest. The embedded card's 256.0 GB/s bandwidth is still substantial for its power class.

Selecting between the two depends entirely on the deployment context. A desktop workstation or gaming PC with standard power delivery and cooling will take the 4060 Ti AD104 for its higher throughput. A compact embedded system with a 50 W thermal budget and no expansion slot will take the RTX 2000 Embedded, accepting lower performance in exchange for integration and power efficiency.
