GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs GeForce RTX 4060
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is significantly faster, around 20% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4060. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti packs 4,864 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 4060.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti starts at $437 EUR against $508 EUR for the GeForce RTX 4060. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 40%. The GeForce RTX 4060 still sits about $209 EUR above its $299 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce RTX 4060 draws just 115W versus 200W for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. 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 3060 Ti'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 3 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (Ada Lovelace vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti or GeForce RTX 4060?
The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 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 if you find it at a steep discount.
