Compute Benchmarks

Now some people don’t need a video card for gaming, they need the processing power for rendering or 2D/3D production, or in some cases, people who game also do work on the side. So it is also important to check out the compute performance on all of the video cards that come in. That includes doing a few different tests. My first test was a simple GPU Compute benchmark using PassMark's Performance Test 10 and the Dual RTX 4060 is sitting ahead of the RX 7600 but behind the 6750 XT and the 3060 Ti.

Blender is always my favorite compute benchmark because the open-source 3D rendering software is very popular and it isn’t a synthetic benchmark. With the latest version of Blender, they redid the benchmark so we now have a new test that runs three different renderings and gives each a score. I have all three stacked together so we can see the overall performance. The Dual RTX 4060, when everything is put together, is out in front of the RTX 3060 Ti as well as the RX 7900 XT from AMD and behind the RTX 3070.

For CUDA-based cards, I also check out OctaneRender performance using their OctaneBench 2060.1 benchmark which allows me to check out both RTX and non-RTX rendering performance. Here the Dual RTX 4060 is behind the 3060 Ti in both tests but is at least closer than in some of the previous tests and has a big margin between it and the RTX 3060.

For an additional CUDA-based test I also ran V-Ray Benchmark 5 to check out CUDA and RTX performance in the 3D rendering and simulation software. The Dual RTX 4060 is behind the RTX 3060 Ti on the CUDA test but did well with the RTX test sitting just ahead of the RTX 3070.
