Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4060 Ti is the clear winner in this comparison, outperforming the RTX 5050 by 51.5% in overall GPU score, though it's important to note the sample size for both cards is thin, with the RTX 5050 having only one verified run. This performance lead is consistently demonstrated across our GPU scene tests, with the RTX 4060 Ti delivering higher frame rates in Earth II Vulkan, Mission to Earth II DX12, and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate. Its significantly higher raw compute (ALU index) is a major factor in this advantage. While the RTX 5050 boasts higher memory bandwidth at 146 GB/s and a faster peak clock of 2955 MHz compared to the 4060 Ti's 100 GB/s and 2760 MHz, these aspects do not overcome the 4060 Ti's overall superior performance in our benchmarks. For gamers prioritizing higher frame rates and stronger general GPU performance based on our current data, the RTX 4060 Ti is the better option.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
