GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4060: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs GeForce RTX 4060

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 115% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 4060 is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER packs 7,168 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 4060. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER also has more RT cores (56 vs 24) and more AI cores (224 vs 96), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 4060 starts at $508 EUR against $649 EUR for the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 68%. The GeForce RTX 4060 still sits about $209 EUR above its $299 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4060 pulls less power (115W vs 220W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 12GB against 8GB, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 4060's 8GB can fall short. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's memory is also faster — 504 GB/s versus 272 GB/s (192-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4060 or GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER better than the GeForce RTX 4060?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is dramatically faster, roughly 115% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 or the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER?

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the better 4K option — it's comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, and its 12GB of VRAM helps with 4K textures.

Is the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER worth the extra $141 EUR over the GeForce RTX 4060?

Often yes — despite the higher price the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 12GB (vs 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Which is better for ray tracing, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER or the GeForce RTX 4060?

Both handle ray tracing, but the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has more RT cores, giving it better ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance than the GeForce RTX 4060.
