GeForce RTX 5080 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 5080 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
The GeForce RTX 5080 is dramatically faster, around 158% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 5080 is comfortable at 4K and high-refresh 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is better matched to 1440p. The GeForce RTX 5080 packs 10,752 CUDA cores versus 4,352 on the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB currently lists from $678 CAD, $821 CAD less than the GeForce RTX 5080 at $1,499 CAD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 5080 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 17%. The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB still sits about $179 CAD above its $499 CAD MSRP. The GeForce RTX 5080 still sits about $500 CAD above its $999 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is the gentler choice at 160W versus 360W. The GeForce RTX 5080 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 360W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Blackwell architecture on a TSMC 4N process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce RTX 5080's memory is faster — 960 GB/s versus 288 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 5080 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB (Blackwell vs Ada Lovelace), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB or GeForce RTX 5080?
The GeForce RTX 5080 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB if you find it at a steep discount.
