NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 — Benchmarks & Specs

8 GB VRAM115W TDP$299 MSRP

Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 generates a median 41.5 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under ollama, across 8 cited runs from DatabaseMart, BSWEN and Phoronix. Its 8 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (8 of 23 models fit). At the $539.00 Amazon price checked 15 h ago (prices change), that is 77.0 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.

Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 4060?

SpecPicks median: 41.5 tokens/sec across 8 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under ollama (range 1.2–50.9 tok/s), from DatabaseMart (6 runs), BSWEN, Phoronix. At the $539.00 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 77.0 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: gemma2:9b at Q4_K_M generates 18.0 tokens/sec under ollama, per DatabaseMart. At 1440p Maximum, the GeForce RTX 4060 averages 71 fps in Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail, per Gamers Nexus. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 24,856 points, per WorthPlaying. Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is gemma2:9b (9.2B parameters, Q4_0), generating 18.0 tokens/sec under ollama, per DatabaseMart. That run's source does not report a context length; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 8 GB.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the GeForce RTX 4060, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
