Performance Analysis
FP32 figures provide the only dense tensor metric available for side by side evaluation with the RTX 5060 delivering 19.2 TFLOPS against 15.1 TFLOPS on the RTX 4060 for a ratio of 1.27 times higher dense FP32 throughput. The RTX 5060 memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s exceeds the RTX 4060 bandwidth of 272 GB/s by a factor of 1.65 which supports larger batch sizes during training and inference workloads. Sparse figures cannot enter direct comparison because the RTX 4060 lists 242 TFLOPS FP8 with sparsity while the RTX 5060 lists 614 TFLOPS FP4 with sparsity.

When to Choose the RTX 4060
The RTX 4060 suits power constrained environments because its TDP of 115W stays below the 145W TDP of the RTX 5060. Workloads that fit within 15.1 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 272 GB/s memory bandwidth avoid unnecessary power draw while retaining full PCIe 4.0 compatibility.
When to Choose the RTX 5060
PCIe 5.0 interconnect on the RTX 5060 further aids data movement in systems that support the newer standard.
Use Cases
The RTX 5060 provides 19.2 TFLOPS dense FP32 and 448 GB/s bandwidth which exceed the RTX 4060 values of 15.1 TFLOPS and 272 GB/s.
Higher dense FP32 at 19.2 TFLOPS and bandwidth at 448 GB/s on the RTX 5060 enable larger batch handling than the RTX 4060 at 15.1 TFLOPS and 272 GB/s.
Both GPUs deliver adequate dense FP32 performance with the RTX 4060 at 15.1 TFLOPS and the RTX 5060 at 19.2 TFLOPS while bandwidth differs at 272 GB/s versus 448 GB/s.
The RTX 5060 memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s surpasses the RTX 4060 bandwidth of 272 GB/s for image generation workloads.
Dense FP32 throughput reaches 19.2 TFLOPS on the RTX 5060 compared with 15.1 TFLOPS on the RTX 4060.

How this page is made
- Specifications come from the NVIDIA, AMD and Intel datasheets for the RTX 4060 and the RTX 5060. 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.
