GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 4060 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT

The GeForce RTX 4060 is noticeably faster, around 11% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the GeForce RTX 4060 starts at $508 EUR against $1,128 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4060 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 147%. The GeForce RTX 4060 still sits about $209 EUR above its $299 EUR MSRP. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $729 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The GeForce RTX 4060 draws just 115W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 5700 XT, 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.

Generation & Longevity

The GeForce RTX 4060 is roughly 4 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 XT (Ada Lovelace vs RDNA), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 4060 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 5700 XT offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 4060 or Radeon RX 5700 XT?

The GeForce RTX 4060 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 4060 better than the Radeon RX 5700 XT?

The GeForce RTX 4060 is noticeably faster, roughly 11% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 4060 or the Radeon RX 5700 XT?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 5700 XT worth the extra $619 EUR over the GeForce RTX 4060?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the GeForce RTX 4060 comes out ahead.
