RTX 4060 Laptop: Gaming Performance, FPS and Specs

Short answer: the RTX 4060 Laptop is an entry-level gaming GPU that performs roughly like a desktop RTX 5050 at its full power limit. With a Core i7-13700HX it averages about 80 FPS at 1080p and 56 FPS at 1440p on High in demanding games, so it is best suited to 1080p gaming. Its 8 GB of video memory is the main limit: some new games need lower textures, especially above 1080p.

RTX 4060 Laptop: specifications

Spec	RTX 4060 Laptop
Architecture	Ada Lovelace
Video memory	8 GB GDDR6
Power limit (TGP)	35–115 W
Released	2023
Similar desktop card	RTX 5050
Upscaling	DLSS 4 upscaling and DLSS Frame Generation

NVIDIA and AMD specifications. Laptop makers choose the power limit inside the range, so two laptops with the same GPU can perform differently. “Similar desktop card” compares the full-power version in our model.

RTX 4060 Laptop: why the power limit (TGP) matters

Laptop GPUs share a name with a range of power limits. A thin laptop running the RTX 4060 Laptop near the bottom of its 35–115 W range will be noticeably slower than a thick gaming laptop at the top. Before you buy, look for the “TGP” or “maximum graphics power” in the laptop’s spec sheet; the numbers on this page assume a high power limit. In Notebookcheck’s tests, an RTX 4060 Laptop at 75 W scored about 4% lower in 3DMark Time Spy than one at 110 W, so above about 75 W the gains are small.

Average FPS and 1% lows from our FPS model with a Core i7-13700HX and a high power limit. ⚠ = the game wants more video memory than this GPU has at that setting. Expect real laptops within about ±15%, depending on TGP and cooling.

With DLSS or FSR set to Quality, add roughly 20–30% to these numbers in games that support it. Frame generation can roughly double the displayed frame rate in single-player games, at the cost of some input lag.

RTX 4060 Laptop: frequently asked questions

Is the RTX 4060 Laptop good for gaming?

Yes for 1080p. It averages about 80 FPS at 1080p High in demanding new games and 56 FPS at 1440p, and much more in esports titles.

What desktop GPU is the RTX 4060 Laptop equal to?

At a high power limit it performs roughly like a desktop RTX 5050 in our model. Low-power versions in thin laptops are slower.

Can the RTX 4060 Laptop run games at 1440p?

Only lighter games, or with Medium settings and upscaling: about 56 FPS on High in demanding titles.

Is 8 GB of VRAM enough?

8 GB is fine at 1080p but tight in some new games at 1440p; lower texture quality if you see stutter.

What TGP should I look for?

As close to the top of the 35–115 W range as you can. The model name alone does not tell you the power limit.
