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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single direct comparison between these two cards, and the result is decisive. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER records a score of 6269.5, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 manages 2302. That represents a 63.3% deficit for the RTX 4060, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers roughly 2.7 times the raw performance in this workload.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the only head-to-head benchmark available, giving it a clean 1-0 record in direct comparisons. The RTX 4060's 2302 score places it far behind, and the delta of 63.3% is substantial enough to classify the gap as a generational chasm rather than a marginal difference. This is a DX12 test, which typically exercises modern rendering paths, so the result reflects both architectural efficiency and raw compute throughput.

The RTX 4060 does have a larger benchmark sample in the database, with ten recorded tests spanning OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple DirectX versions. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 17639, with individual scores ranging from 76 in Passmark DirectX 12 to 95057 in Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, has only the single Steel Nomad result on record, so its average score of 6270 is derived from that one data point. This asymmetry in test coverage means the head-to-head comparison is limited to a single workload, but within that workload, the result is unambiguous.

The RTX 4060's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 with an average score of 17666 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Radeon 780M at 17588 with a 0.3% delta, and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 at 17551 with a 0.5% delta. These are all within a fraction of a percent of the RTX 4060's average, indicating that its overall standing in the database is tightly clustered with mid-range and integrated-class parts. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals are very different in character: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 matches it exactly at 6270 with a 0% delta, followed by the NVIDIA Quadro K620 at 6282 (-0.2%), the AMD FirePro W600 at 6223 (0.8%), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 at 6327 (-0.9%). The presence of professional and entry-level parts in that rival list is a function of the sparse benchmark data, but the exact match with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is notable.

Looking at percentiles, the RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile. This seems counterintuitive given the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's far higher single-test score, but the percentile reflects the distribution of all recorded GPUs, and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's score of 6270 is based on a single test that may not be representative of its overall standing. The RTX 4060's 61st percentile is supported by a broader set of benchmarks, giving it a more statistically stable position.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different generations and use different underlying architectures. The RTX 4060 uses the AD107 chip built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40-series. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on Blackwell 2.0, part of the GeForce 50-series. Both are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process, but the chips differ dramatically in scale.

The AD107 chip contains 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.9 million per square millimeter. The GB203 chip contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The GB203 is thus more than twice the die area and carries more than double the transistor count. The transistor densities are close, which indicates both chips are produced on comparable process maturity, but the raw scale difference is enormous.

The RTX 4060 has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. That is roughly 2.9 times the shading units, 2.9 times the TMUs, and exactly twice the ROPs. The RTX 4060 carries 24 ray tracing cores and 96 tensor cores, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER carries 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER therefore has approximately 2.9 times the ray tracing hardware and 2.9 times the tensor core count.

Memory architecture is another major split. The RTX 4060 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, producing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, producing a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has exactly double the memory capacity, double the bus width, and more than triple the bandwidth. The memory clock rates also differ: the RTX 4060 runs at 2125 MHz with 17 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective. The higher effective data rate on the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER compensates for the lower base clock, and the wider bus does the rest.

Pixel and texture rates follow the hardware counts. The RTX 4060 achieves 118.1 GPixel/s and 236.2 GTexel/s, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER achieves 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 compute are both listed at a 1:1 ratio on each card, with the RTX 4060 delivering 15.11 TFLOPS and the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivering 43.94 TFLOPS. The compute gap is roughly 2.9 times, consistent with the shading unit count.

The bus interface differs as well. The RTX 4060 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's interface offers four times the lane count and a newer protocol generation. Display outputs also differ: the RTX 4060 has 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Power delivery is another differentiator. The RTX 4060 has a TDP of 115 W and uses a single 12-pin connector, with a suggested PSU of 300 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W and uses a single 16-pin connector, with no suggested PSU listed. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws three times the power budget, which is consistent with its larger chip and memory subsystem.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every measurable performance category in the direct comparison. Its 6269.5 Steel Nomad score is 63.3% higher than the RTX 4060's 2302. It also leads in raw specifications across the board: more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more ray tracing cores, more tensor cores, double the memory, double the bus width, and more than triple the bandwidth. Its FP32 compute of 43.94 TFLOPS is nearly triple the RTX 4060's 15.11 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s is nearly triple the RTX 4060's 236.2 GTexel/s.

The RTX 4060's advantages are confined to efficiency and physical footprint. It has a 115 W TDP versus 350 W, so it draws less than one-third the power. Its dimensions are smaller: 240 mm length versus 304 mm, 111 mm height versus 137 mm, and 40 mm width versus 48 mm. It uses a 12-pin power connector versus a 16-pin connector, and it has a lower suggested PSU requirement of 300 W (the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no listed suggested PSU). The RTX 4060 is also end-of-life in production status, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is active, which is a supply consideration rather than a performance one.

The RTX 4060's benchmark profile shows strengths in specific legacy workloads. Its Passmark DirectX 9 score of 236, DirectX 10 score of 103, DirectX 11 score of 175, and DirectX 12 score of 76 are all recorded. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057 and Vulkan score of 48643 are strong numbers for its class. Its Passmark G3D score of 19545 and GPU compute score of 9213 round out the picture. None of these can be directly compared to the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, since the latter has no corresponding data, but they establish the RTX 4060 as a competent performer in its own tier.

For use cases, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice for any workload that demands high frame rates at high resolutions, heavy ray tracing, or large texture datasets. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth can feed its 8960 shading units without bottlenecking. The RTX 4060, with 8 GB of GDDR6 and 272.0 GB/s, is suited to lighter loads where its lower power draw and compact size matter more than absolute performance.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every specification field. The RTX 4060 uses the AD107 chip on Ada Lovelace architecture, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0.

Base clocks are 1830 MHz for the RTX 4060 and 2295 MHz for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Boost clocks are 2460 MHz versus 2452 MHz, so the RTX 4060 actually boosts slightly higher, but the base clock gap of 465 MHz favors the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. Memory clocks are 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective) versus 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective).
