Entry-level graphics cards can be said to be the level that most people will buy, and many people will be curious, will the performance gap between each generation really be much different? Should you choose the latest generation, the previous generation, or an older generation? Recently, some foreign media have actually measured the models of NVIDIA entry-level graphics cards of each generation ending in 60, which should give you a good reference. The results show that the performance improvement can be said to be getting smaller and smaller, especially for RTX 3060 and RTX 4060.
NVIDIA entry-level graphics cards from GTX 1060 to RTX 4060, actual measurements show that the performance improvement of each generation is getting smaller and smaller

Recently, foreign media ComputerBase shared the test data of GTX 1060, RTX 2060, RTX 3060 and RTX 4060. They tested a total of 13 games, namely “Brave New World 1800”, “Baldur’s Gate 3”, “Metropolis: Skyrim” II”, “Diablo II”, “Doom: Eternal”, “Final Fantasy XIV”, “Grand Theft Auto V”, “Horizon Dawn”, “Strike 2”, “Ratchet and Clank: Rift” Apart”, “Starfield”, “Army: Warhammer 3”, and “Warhammer 40,000: Darktide”.
Each game has shared test data. Here we only compile comparison pictures of average performance and some game test data. A more complete report can beRead articles from foreign media。
The test platform part is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, 64GB DDR5-6400 memory, 2TB SSD, etc.

The main game quality recommended for these four graphics cards, GTX 1060, RTX 2060, RTX 3060 and RTX 4060, is 1080p, so they only tested 1080p. As you can see from the picture below, if GTX 1060 6GB is used as the baseline, the performance improvement of upgrading to RTX 2060 6GB is very obvious, reaching 79%. However, from 2060 to 3060, it is not bad, with only an increase of 30%. Upgrading from 3060 to 4060 will increase the performance slightly by a little more. , an increase of 56%:
It can be seen that the biggest improvement in each generation is from GTX 1060 to RTX 2060, and then there are fewer and fewer.
As for the average FPS, the GTX 1060 only has 40 FPS, and the RTX 2060 has 72 FPS. Therefore, the GTX 1060 is obviously no longer able to satisfy modern 1080p games, and at least the RTX 2060 has to take off:
The test report also shared some noteworthy data. For example, the game “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart” can no longer run on GTX 1060. RTX 2060 is also a bit difficult. At least RTX 3060 12GB or above is required:
In addition, the VRAM of the RTX 3060 reaches 12GB, while the RTX 4060 only has 8GB, which is 4GB less. Although the RTX 4060 is ahead in most games, there is only a 1% gap in “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart”, which shows whether the VRAM is larger or more powerful. Advantage, even if it is a generation difference.
ComputerBase also shared the performance improvements of each generation of the 60 series and 70 series. The interesting thing is that the biggest gap in the 70 series is between RTX 2070 and RTX 3070, with a difference of 63%. The difference between GTX 1070 and RTX 2070 is not that much:
After testing, ComputerBase believes that the GTX 1070 and RTX 2070 and RTX 3070 8GB still have enough VRAM to meet the details in most games, but the 6 GB of the GTX 1060 and RTX 2060 are too little.
Although the RTX 4060 has 8GB, it is not enough for new games. In other words, if you want to buy a graphics card that can be used for a long time, you should at least choose 12GB or more.
