Using the graphics card-only power draw figures presented earlier in the review, here we present performance per Watt on a per-game basis for all twelve games we tested at 1080p.

12-Game Average at 1080p:

What the combination of performance and power draw means for overall efficiency is pretty simple – it's a very efficient GPU, offering identical performance per Watt as the 4070 and 4070 Ti. I've not included the RTX 4080 in this chart but that GPU is still the most efficient Ada product yet, but the 4060 Ti is still up there with the best. It delivers 58% more performance per Watt than the RTX 3060 Ti.

Ray tracing results

As a bonus, we now include the power figures for all six games we test with ray tracing enabled.

6-Game ray tracing average:

Ray tracing efficiency is just a touch behind the two 4070-series SKUs on our chart, but the differences are minor. The uplift versus the 3060 Ti is slightly smaller, at 48%, but it is still a huge step forward.
