Synthetic Benchmarks

As always I like to start my testing with a few synthetic benchmarks. 3DMark especially is one of my favorites because it is very optimized in both Nvidia and AMD drivers. It's nice to not have to worry about it being favored too much either way and the repeatability of the results makes it a nice chance to compare from card to card, especially when comparing with the same GPU. In this case yesterday I did check out the Asus Dual RTX 4060 so we do have another 4060 to compare the RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition with. The Dual was also overclocked with a small overclock and it just so happens that its overclock was 45MHz to the 30 MHz over stock for the RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition. Beyond that keep an eye on the performance of the 3060 Ti and 3060 from Nvidia and the 7600 and 6650 XT from AMD.

The first round of tests were done in the older Fire Strike benchmark which is a DX11 test. There are three detail levels, performance, extreme, and ultra. The RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition and the Dual RTX 4060 are both right together in each of the three Fire Strike results but the Dual did come out in front by a very small margin in all three with its slightly higher overclock. Beyond that, both cards were behind the 6650XT here in all three tests but in front of the 3060.

The next two were both based on the Time Spy benchmark. One is the standard test and then there is the extreme detail level. This time around the Dual was in front of the RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition for the base Time Spy test but the RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition was in front for the Time Spy Extreme result. Both cards did better compared to the 6650XT here and are just a hair behind the RX 7600s in both tests.

I did also test using the new 3DMark Speed Way which is their latest benchmark. Speed Way is DX12 as well but combines more future-focused tech like Ray Tracing which up until now 3DMark has only used in feature tests. The RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC White Edition edged out the Dual RTX 4060 here and both cards show a huge improvement compared to AMDs offerings with them sitting ahead of the 6750XT, they are still well behind the RTX 3060 Ti however.

The last test was using the Unigine-based Superposition benchmark and I tested at 1080p with the extreme detail setting as well as the 4K optimized setting. In the extreme detail setting the out performed the Dual enough to jump up ahead of the RX 6650 XT, the 4K result on the other hand flipped that around and had the Dual back out in front. Both cards were ahead of the 6650XT and the 7600 at 4k.
