On average 4060 is 218% performance of the 1060
In contrast the 4080 is on average 337% the performance of the 1080
In essence NVidia is punishing budget gamers by making them pay more for less improvement

7 years difference but only 2gb increased, more like downgrading from last gen.

Incredible, in 7 years we have finally achieved 2 more gigabytes of vram. Moore’s Law went into overdrive for this one

At this time GTX 1060 opening these games and running above 20 fps is amazing considering rtx 4060

[adityathakur]

So basically it's too soon to dumb GTX 1060, just reducing few graphics settings would still give you 60fps gaming. ❤

[CozMick]

I love comparisons like this, thank you.

[NGreedia]

You’d think that 3 generations later, the difference would be much more than this. The 1060 was better in 2016 than the 4060 is in 2023

[gamesolux]

Basically they took 7 years to go from a 1060 performance to a 1080ti performance for the 4060
Good Job Nvidia!

One is a mid-low end card that has a decent frame rate and VRAM. The other is a 4050.

It turns out that you can play the latest games even at 1060, if you lower the image quality level it will be more comfortable, you can fight for another 3 years

I really thought I wouldn't find a comparison like this, but you did it. It's gonna help me on planning my upgrade. Thank you very much.

[RolanTheBrave]

This is exact upgrade im looking at getting - roughly 3 times the FPS for same power use. Its served me well for 6 years, time for an upgrade.

[TheoriginalBMT]

Run it on a top end processor and memory from 7 years ago. Def feel like all the modern advances helps support the 1060 better. Playing cyberpunk was nuts to see tho.

[pauloazuela]

Funny thing is if you turned most of it off or medium it'll reach 60 fps no wonder it's held for so long it the steam data records

[siyzerix]

So we went from 6gb vram to 8gb vram?

I mean it ain't that great.

And nvidia went from 16nm to 4nm and 3 architectures later, could only muster this?

Cause the 3060ti is even faster

[davogue]

I mean its not that bad considering that the difference between 660 and the 1060 is about the same as this, kind of...

[randyh]

Good performance low power, upgraded my 1060 3 weeks ago on my 6 year old pc works great smaller card and no need to upgrade my 500w psu.

[Zihenroy]

As a man who cleared metro last light with 4-15fps i see no difference here.

[Dhrazor]

If you bought a GTX 1060 7 years ago you might consider buying a 4070Ti which is almost a decent enough jump in performance... too bad you have to pay over twice the money for it... actually where I live it's more like 3-3.5 times the price in the local currency...
