Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall then, at 1080p the RTX 4060 Ti delivers an average performance figure of 112FPS. That makes it a touch slower than the RTX 3070, while it's a mere 6% faster than the RX 6700 XT. Crucially, it's just 11% faster on average than the RTX 3060 Ti it replaces, an incredibly lacklustre generational improvement.

But wait, it gets worse. Almost certainly due to the limited memory bandwidth as a result of the 128-bit interface, the RTX 4060 Ti drops off as we increase the resolution to 1440p. It's now just 8% faster than the RTX 3060 Ti, while it comes in 6% slower than the RTX 3070 – two GPUs which both use 256-bit memory interfaces.
