GeForce RTX 4070 vs GeForce RTX 4060

Measured verdict

  • RTX 4070 is 56% faster at 1080p Ultra (111.5 vs 71.5 FPS)
  • RTX 4070 is 63% faster at 1440p Ultra (77.8 vs 47.6 FPS)
  • RTX 4070 is 137% faster at 4K Ultra (41.3 vs 17.4 FPS)

Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy, 2026 suite, updated 24 Jun 2026, read 5 Oct 2026. Average FPS, the geometric mean of 11 raster games — Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake II, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike 2, Fortnite, Arc Raiders, Stalker 2, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Marvel Rivals, Cyberpunk 2077, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — on an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

Also measured, older suite

  • RTX 4070 is 25% faster at 1080p Medium (177.5 vs 142.3 FPS)
  • RTX 4070 is 44% faster at 1080p Ultra (122 vs 84.9 FPS)
  • RTX 4070 is 60% faster at 1440p Ultra (97.8 vs 61.2 FPS)
  • RTX 4070 is 79% faster at 4K Ultra (57.2 vs 31.9 FPS)

Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy, 2022–24 suite, read 5 Oct 2026. Average FPS, the geometric mean of eight games — Borderlands 3, Far Cry 6, Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption 2, Total War: Warhammer 3, Watch Dogs Legion — on a Core i9-12900K.

Tom's Hardware's 2026 suite has the RTX 4070 56% faster at 1080p Ultra (111.5 vs 71.5 FPS), and the gap grows with resolution: 63% at 1440p Ultra and 137% at 4K Ultra, where the RTX 4060 averages 17.4 FPS. Eleven games we hold benchmark tables for measured both cards, and the 4070 is faster in every one, by 46% to 93% (most in DOOM: The Dark Ages at 1440p, 78.3 vs 40.5 FPS).

Game by game

A game we hold a benchmark table for is shown at that table’s settings. A card the table measured shows its measured number, the same on every page; a card it didn’t is fitted: placed between the measured cards either side of it in speed, so it is also the same on every page. The gap is shown only where both cards were measured.
