Performance Analysis
The FP32 performance of the RTX 5060 reaches 19.2 TFLOPS while the T4 reaches 8.1 TFLOPS. This difference means the RTX 5060 processes FP32 workloads at a higher rate than the T4. The T4 supplies 65 TFLOPS in dense FP16. The RTX 5060 supplies 614 TFLOPS in FP4 with sparsity. Memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s on the RTX 5060 exceeds 320 GB/s on the T4. Higher bandwidth supports larger batch sizes during operations that move substantial data volumes between memory and compute units.

When to Choose the RTX 5060
Choose the RTX 5060 for nearly everything. It is a Blackwell card where the T4 is Turing, its 448 GB/s bandwidth is 1.4 times the T4 figure so token generation is faster, and its 120 tensor cores handle FP8 and FP4 formats that the T4 does not support. Ask for the 16 GB configuration so the memory matches the T4 and you give up nothing.
When to Choose the T4
Choose the T4 only for low volume inference of a small model that needs the full 16 GB when the RTX 5060 on offer is the 8 GB version, or when you are running an older container that was validated on Turing. Its 65 TFLOPS dense FP16 looks respectable on paper but it sits behind a PCIe 3.0 link with 320 GB/s of bandwidth, so it is slow for modern LLM decode. Do not rent it for fine tuning or training; the 70W TDP is a datacenter density feature, not a reason for a renter to pick it.
