GPU comparison · 1080p benchmark
RTX 4060 8GB recorded 162 FPS against 78 FPS for RX 6500 XT 8GB. These are continuous 1080p benchmark averages, not predicted FPS in any particular game.

What does this comparison mean?
The RTX 4060 records more than twice the RX 6500 XT 8GB's FPS while keeping the same capacity. This is a throughput and architecture change, not an increase in graphics memory, and uses the later 8GB Radeon specifically.
Both variants have 8GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RX 6500 XT 8GB
The RX 6500 XT 8GB is the larger-memory variant documented by Sapphire, using RDNA 2 and a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. It should not inherit the original 4GB card's result; adding capacity does not change that narrow PCIe connection.
RTX 4060 8GB
The RTX 4060 is the 8GB Ada Lovelace desktop model. Its June 2023 launch followed the separate RTX 4060 Ti.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
