Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall, the RTX 4060 delivers an average frame rate of 77FPS at 1080p, making it level with the RX 6650 XT and RX 7600. It offers up performance that's 17% faster on average than the RTX 3060, while it's 16% and 20% slower than the RX 6700 XT and RTX 4060 Ti, respectively.

At 1440p resolution, it's still a solid enough performer, with an average frame rate of 54FPS. That's once more dead level with the RX 7600, but now just 14% ahead of the RTX 3060 – hardly an exciting generational uplift. The RTX 4060 also drops off versus the RX 6700 XT at 1440p, where it's now 17% slower on average, but it remains 20% behind the 4060 Ti.
