Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Radeon RX 5600 OEM?

Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is the better GPU overall here. You are getting 58.0% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data, 58.5% higher PassMark G3D performance, and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. It also comes from 2023 instead of 2020, which helps its case as the more complete modern gaming card.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 4060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2020, 58.5% more raw performance headroom, better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR Frame Generation (2023), and a 5nm process instead of 7nm. 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 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 4060 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $299 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 58.0% more estimated average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and 58.5% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Radeon RX 5600 OEM still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon RX 5600 OEM 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 an unclear MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 4060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
