Performance Analysis
The RTX 4060 achieves 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP32 compared to 6.5 TFLOPS dense FP32 on the GTX 1070. This difference means the RTX 4060 handles larger batch sizes in training and inference tasks that rely on dense FP32 operations. Memory bandwidth of 272 GB/s on the RTX 4060 versus 256 GB/s on the GTX 1070 supports modestly higher data throughput during model execution. The GTX 1070 lacks any published sparse FP8 rating while the RTX 4060 lists 242 TFLOPS with sparsity in FP8. TDP of 115W on the RTX 4060 versus 150W on the GTX 1070 indicates lower power draw for equivalent dense FP32 workloads on the newer card.
