Nvidia RTX 4060 3DMARK benchmark scores leak – 23% faster than a 12GB RTX 3060 on average

Nvidia’s RTX 4060 is 16.6-32.7% faster than their RTX 3060 12GB in 3DMARK

Videocardz has managed to get an early look at some 3DMARK scores for Nvidia’s upcoming RTX 4060 graphics cards, revealing the kind of performance gains that gamers should expect from Nvidia’s new $299 graphics card. Note that none of 3DMARK’s benchmarks utilise Nvidia’s DLSS technologies, making this a pretty apples to apples comparison.

The data below reveals that Nvidia’s RTX 4060 has a 16.6-32.7 performance lead over Nvidia’s RTX 3060 12GB, and a 30.7-61.1% lead over Nvidia’s RTX 3060 8GB. On average, Nvidia’s RTX 4060 is around 23% faster than an RTX 3060 12GB and 48% faster than an RTX 3060 8GB. 

The benchmarks below showcases two things, first that Nvidia’s RTX 3060 8GB is substantially slower than both the 8GB RTX 4060 and the 12GB RTX 3060, and second that gamers can expect Nvidia’s RTX 4060 to be around 23% faster than its predecessor when technologies like DLSS (DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation) are not considered.

While Nvidia’s 8GB RTX 4060 and RTX 3060 models feature the same memory bus and GDDR6 memory, it is clear that Nvidia’s RTX 4060 is a lot less bandwidth constrained than the RTX 3060 8GB. This is due to the large L2 caches than Nvidia has included with their RTX 40 series GPUs, and that likelihood that Nvidia’s RTX 406 uses faster GDDR6 memory modules.
