RTX 4060 Ti 8GB vs RTX 4060: Gaming Performance & Bottleneck (2026)

The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is clearly the faster card: 21% ahead of the RTX 4060 at 4K and 21% at 1440p, where it averages 59 FPS to 49 in AAA games at High settings with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The order holds at 1080p (21% apart), so the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is the quicker card at every resolution. With ray tracing on at 1440p they manage 32 and 26 FPS respectively, so plan on DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling. In esports games like CS2 or Valorant at 1080p they reach 294 and 243 FPS, enough for a 240 Hz monitor. At 4K the RTX 4060 manages 27 FPS native, and DLSS Quality lifts that to about 39. Both carry 8 GB of VRAM, which is already tight at 1440p High in new games. To stay under a 10% CPU bottleneck at 1440p, both need only a Ryzen 5 3600-class CPU.

Which should you buy?

Buy the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB if you want the faster card: it's 21% ahead at 4K. The RTX 4060 is the better buy only if it costs at least 21% less, the gap at 1440p, because then it delivers more frames per dollar. Already own the RTX 4060? Going to the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB gains 21% at 1440p, which is a modest upgrade, worth it mainly if you can sell the RTX 4060.

Buy the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB if…

  • you want the most FPS: it's 21% faster at 4K and 21% at 1440p.
  • you play with ray tracing: 32 vs 26 FPS at 1440p.

Buy the RTX 4060 if…

  • it costs at least 21% less than the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, which makes it the better value per frame.
  • it's the cheaper of the two where you shop: performance is close enough that price decides.

RTX 4060 Ti 8GB vs RTX 4060: quick answers

Is the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB faster than the RTX 4060?

Yes. The RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is about 21% faster at 4K and 21% faster at 1440p in AAA games at High settings. With ray tracing on at 1440p the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB gets about 32 FPS and the RTX 4060 26 FPS.

How many FPS do the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and RTX 4060 get?

With a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at High settings in AAA games, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB averages about 92 FPS at 1080p, 59 at 1440p and 33 at 4K. The RTX 4060 averages 76, 49 and 27 FPS. DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling adds roughly 40% where the graphics card is the limit.

What CPU do I need for the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB or RTX 4060?

To keep the CPU bottleneck under 10% at 1440p, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB needs a Ryzen 5 3600 or faster and the RTX 4060 needs a Ryzen 5 3600 or faster. At 1080p you need a faster CPU for the same result, and at 4K a slower one is fine. A slower CPU narrows the gap between the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB and the RTX 4060.
