GeForce RTX 4060 vs GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, AI & Machine Learning Comparison
GeForce RTX 5060 Ti wins 6 of 12 benchmarks, averaging 68.2% faster.
Both cards were measured first-party on our bench, same suite, same test rig.
What the numbers say
The gap is widest in Stable Diffusion XL, where GeForce RTX 5060 Ti leads by 88% (2.78 vs 5.22 images/min); the closest fight is Qwen3 4B (56% apart); VRAM decides part of this one: GeForce RTX 5060 Ti runs 6 of our 12 AI workloads while the other card runs 3, models that don't fit score zero.
