Yes. The NVIDIA RTX 5060 is about 9% faster overall, averaging roughly NaN FPS versus NaN FPS for the NVIDIA RTX 4060 at 1080p with optimized settings across popular games.
About 9% faster on average. The exact gap varies by game and resolution — heavier, GPU-bound games show the biggest difference.
A 9% jump is a small step up — usually not worth the cost on its own.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
