Performance Analysis

The RTX 3090 Ti supplies 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance identical to its 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating. The RTX 4060 Ti supplies 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance identical to its 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating. Training sessions therefore process larger batches on the RTX 3090 Ti because its 936 GB per second memory bandwidth exceeds the 272 GB per second bandwidth of the RTX 4060 Ti family. Inference workloads accommodate bigger models within the 24 GB capacity of the RTX 3090 Ti without memory overflow. The 115 W TDP of the RTX 4060 Ti family supports longer continuous runs at lower power draw despite the reduced 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP16 throughput.

When to Choose the RTX 3090 Ti

The RTX 3090 Ti variant suits LLM training runs that require the full 24 GB GDDR6X capacity and 936 GB per second bandwidth. Scientific computing tasks also benefit from the 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP32 rating paired with NVLink interconnect support.

When to Choose the RTX 4060 Ti

The RTX 4060 Ti variant suits inference deployments that operate within the 8 GB GDDR6 capacity at the 115 W TDP level. Fine tuning sessions that fit inside 8 GB memory also run efficiently on its 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance.

Use Cases

LLM Training
RTX 3090 Ti

The 24 GB GDDR6X capacity and 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating support larger models than the 8 GB capacity allows.

LLM Inference
RTX 3090 Ti

The 936 GB per second bandwidth handles bigger batch sizes than the 272 GB per second bandwidth of the RTX 4060 Ti family.

Fine-tuning
RTX 3090 Ti

The 24 GB memory accommodates parameter updates that exceed the 8 GB limit of the RTX 4060 Ti variant.

Stable Diffusion
RTX 3090 Ti

The 35.6 TFLOPS dense FP16 performance generates images faster than the 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP16 rating.

Scientific Computing
RTX 3090 Ti

The NVLink interconnect and 350 W TDP enable multi GPU scaling not available on the RTX 4060 Ti variant.

How this page is made

  • Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the RTX 3090 Ti and the RTX 4060 Ti. Dense and sparse throughput are listed separately.
  • Prices and availability are live: every offer shown is an in-stock, on-demand listing from a provider we track, rechecked every minute.
  • The written comparison (overview, performance notes, when to choose each card, verdict, use cases and FAQ) was drafted with an AI model from the specification table above and passed an automated check that rejects any figure not in that table. It was last generated on . It contains no prices; those are always read live.
