About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER

2019

Why buy it

  • 100% more Tensor Cores for AI-powered features like DLSS and frame generation, which can increase overall FPS in supported games (272 vs 136).
  • Measures 229mm instead of 240mm, a 11mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Weaker long-term outlook: GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the safer future-proof pick thanks to newer hardware and better gaming feature support.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 41.3 vs 56.8 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

2023

Why buy it

  • 36.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 37.5% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 56.8 vs 41.3 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Fewer Tensor Cores for AI-powered features like DLSS and frame generation (136 vs 272), which can reduce FPS gains in supported games.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 Ti better than GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti averages 36.9% more FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. You are also looking at 22,651 vs 16,477 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a 2019 model from an older generation with DLSS Super Resolution. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2019, 37.5% more raw performance headroom, better upscaling support with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of DLSS Super Resolution, and a 5nm process instead of 12nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is in basically the same MSRP band at $399 MSRP versus $399 MSRP, and you are getting 36.9% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 37.5% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 37.5%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $399 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
