Live benchmark data
In verified runs saved here, RTX 5060 averages 39% higher FPS. Averages mix every resolution and settings level owners actually ran, so treat this as a directional signal, not a lab result.
Verdict — RTX 5060
Perfectly capable for its use case but the 8 GB VRAM ceiling matters in 2026 titles. If you're going to keep this card 4+ years, look at the 9060 XT or the 5060 Ti 16 GB instead.
Verdict — RTX 4070
One of the most efficient cards ever made — sips power, runs cool. VRAM is the weak point but adequate for most 1440p use. Used market often prices it well against a new 5060 Ti.
