MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black 8G OC… vs ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 OC… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GDDR7 OC… is our pick.

The ASUS Dual RTX 5060 is the better card for nearly every 2026 buyer. In Gamers Nexus native testing it beats the RTX 4060 by 21-41% in demanding games, including 55 vs 39 fps in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty at 1440p Ultra, and it generates local LLM text about 40% faster.

Buy the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Ventus 2X Black if your build runs on a small PSU (the RTX 4060 has a 115 W TDP and a 300 W suggested PSU) and you mostly play esports or older titles, where it still manages 180.5 fps in Counter-Strike 2 at 1440p Ultra. Buy the ASUS Dual RTX 5060 OC if you want the faster 8 GB card for 1080p and 1440p in 2026: it is 21-41% faster natively in modern AAA games, about 40% faster on 7-8B local LLMs, and adds DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, DisplayPort 2.1b and a 3-year warranty.
