The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, codenamed GN21-X4, stands as a high-end graphics solution for laptops, harnessing the power of the Ada Lovelace architecture and AD107 chip. With 3072 shaders at its disposal, this GPU ensures robust graphics performance for demanding applications.
Equipped with 8 GB GDDR6 dedicated graphics memory running at an effective clock speed of 16 Gbps and a 128-bit memory bus, the RTX 4060 Laptop GPU delivers efficient memory handling for graphics-intensive tasks. The Total Graphics Power (TGP) can be tailored within a range of 35 to 115 Watts, with an additional 15-25 Watts dynamic boost from the CPU, allowing for versatile performance levels. The boost clock speed varies from 1470 MHz at 35W TGP to an impressive 2370 MHz at 115W.
In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4060 showcases performance levels falling between a mobile RTX 3070 and a mobile RTX 3070 Ti. Notably, GPUs with lower power limits, such as 45W variants, exhibit a clear decrease in performance, with up to a 75% reduction in some reviews. The average gaming performance of the RTX 4060 is well-suited for running demanding games at the highest settings in 1920×1080 resolution. Less demanding games can effortlessly run in QHD, exemplified by titles like Baldur’s Gate 3. Leveraging DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) in supported games significantly enhances frame rates.
The RTX 4060 is equipped with 80 tensor cores (4th gen) that enable DLSS 3, including frame generation for supported games. While featuring 20 ray tracing cores (4th gen), the RTX 4060’s ray tracing capabilities may see limited use, especially in demanding games that require higher performance for ray tracing, particularly in lower resolutions.
Manufactured using a cutting-edge 5nm process at TSMC (4N process), the AD107 chip underscores the GPU’s efficiency and performance prowess. The RTX 4060 Laptop GPU stands as a compelling choice for users seeking high-end graphics performance in a laptop form factor.
