Benchmark comparison
Estimated render times for standard Blender benchmark scenes. Lower is faster.
These timings are derived from Blender Open Data benchmark medians and should be treated as comparative estimates, not guaranteed real-project render times.
Quick take on RTX 4060 vs RTX 5060
RTX 5060 leads the Blender benchmark score by 18.1%.
Fastest in Blender: RTX 5060 3,689.9 score.
Most VRAM: RTX 5060 8 gb.
Lowest power draw: RTX 4060 115 w tdp.
Both GPUs ship with 8 GB of VRAM, so the tradeoff is more about speed, architecture, and efficiency than memory capacity.
If you are deciding between these cards for Blender, focus first on Blender benchmark score, VRAM capacity, memory bandwidth, and whether your scenes are likely to benefit more from raw speed or extra memory headroom. The comparison table above keeps those tradeoffs in one place.
