GeForce RTX 5070 vs GeForce RTX 4060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 5070 vs GeForce RTX 4060
The GeForce RTX 5070 is dramatically faster, around 130% ahead of the GeForce RTX 4060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 5070 is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 4060 is better matched to 1080p. The GeForce RTX 5070 packs 6,144 CUDA cores versus 3,072 on the GeForce RTX 4060.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 4060 currently lists from $243 GBP, $295 GBP less than the GeForce RTX 5070 at $538 GBP. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 5070 wins on performance-per-dollar. The GeForce RTX 4060 is trading below its $299 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce RTX 4060 is the gentler choice at 115W versus 250W. The GeForce RTX 5070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W 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.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 5070 carries 12GB versus 8GB on the GeForce RTX 4060. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The GeForce RTX 5070's memory is also faster — 672 GB/s versus 272 GB/s (192-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 5070 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 4060 (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 or GeForce RTX 5070?
The GeForce RTX 5070 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.
