GeForce RTX 4060 vs GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4060 vs GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

The GeForce RTX 4060 is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 4060 packs 3,072 CUDA cores versus 2,176 on the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER.

Price & Value

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER currently lists from $30 EUR, $545 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 4060 at $576 EUR. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER offers the better performance-per-dollar (~1322% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is trading below its $399 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 4060 still sits about $277 EUR above its $299 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 115W against 175W, the GeForce RTX 4060 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER's memory is faster — 448 GB/s versus 272 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4060 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER (Ada Lovelace vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or GeForce RTX 4060?

Choose the GeForce RTX 4060 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4060 better than the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4060 is significantly faster, roughly 33% ahead. The GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 4060?
