Which is better for ai & machine learning: GeForce RTX 4060 or NVIDIA T4?

GeForce RTX 4060 performs better for ai & machine learning, winning 3 of 10 benchmarks in our suite with an average 31.7% advantage.

What are the main hardware differences between GeForce RTX 4060 and NVIDIA T4?

GeForce RTX 4060 has 8GB VRAM and a 115W TDP, while NVIDIA T4 has 16GB VRAM and a 70W TDP.

Does VRAM matter more than speed between GeForce RTX 4060 and NVIDIA T4?

For AI, yes, GeForce RTX 4060 fits 35 more of our 12 workloads than NVIDIA T4. A model that exceeds VRAM doesn't run slower, it doesn't run at all, so the card that fits the model wins that workload outright.

Where is the biggest performance difference between GeForce RTX 4060 and NVIDIA T4?

Llama 3.1 8B: GeForce RTX 4060 leads by roughly 50% (52.4 vs 35.01 tok/s) in our testing.

GeForce RTX 4060 vs NVIDIA T4, AI & Machine Learning Comparison

GeForce RTX 4060 wins 3 of 10 benchmarks, averaging 31.7% faster.

Both cards were measured first-party on our bench, same suite, same test rig.

What the numbers say

The gap is widest in Llama 3.1 8B, where GeForce RTX 4060 leads by 50% (52.4 vs 35.01 tok/s); the closest fight is Stable Diffusion XL (18% apart); VRAM decides part of this one: GeForce RTX 4060 runs 111 of our 12 AI workloads while the other card runs 3, models that don't fit score zero.
