GPU EVIDENCE DETAIL

RTX 4060 DLSS 5 support and VRAM evidence

RTX 4060 · Ada Lovelace · 8 GB VRAM

Current DLSS 5 status

RTX 4060 DLSS 5 support is unconfirmed as of 2026-10-10. NVIDIA has published no model-specific statement covering Ada Lovelace, so this record stays unconfirmed rather than supported; the announced scope names RTX 50-series Blackwell parts. Card record: 8 GB of VRAM, 3,072 CUDA cores, a 128-bit memory bus, 115 W board power, launched 29 June 2023. Unconfirmed is not a rejection: it means waiting for NVIDIA's own model list, because in-game availability also depends on drivers and per-title implementations.

What the source does and does not prove

The linked source does not resolve this model either way, and that is exactly what the record says. “Unconfirmed” is a prompt to wait for an official statement, not a soft rejection.

Hardware specification of RTX 4060

Launch date29 June 2023
GPU dieAD107-400
CUDA cores3,072
Memory bus width128-bit
Board power (TDP)115 W

These values come from the published GeForce RTX 40 Series specification table, which aggregates NVIDIA’s own product pages and architecture whitepapers. They describe the card itself; the DLSS 5 status above rests on a different source.

Launch date, die code, core count, bus width and board power are hardware facts. This page publishes no benchmark score and no ranking between models — more CUDA cores is not on its own a statement about DLSS 5 performance.

Vendor cards and laptop versions of RTX 4060 can differ in clocks, memory capacity and power limit, so match the exact variant before you buy.

Local DLSS5 Studio on RTX 4060

This card carries 8 GB: above the 8 GB minimum, 8 GB short of the 16 GB recommendation for 1080p and 4K video.

We publish no measured run for RTX 4060; our only measurement so far is the RTX 4090 (720p → 2560×1440 H.264 in 87.4 s (2.43 s/frame)). We do not extrapolate it to other cards, and this page does not claim one.

These rows come from the same data set as the model table. A “yes” describes the published generation-level capability, not a guarantee that a given game enables it on this card.

Nearest models in the same series

The closest record in this series is RTX 4070 (12 GB). Against RTX 4060, RTX 4070 launched 2 months earlier, with 2,816 more CUDA cores and 85 W higher board power. Both share the same DLSS 5 status in this data set, and we publish no performance benchmark and no ranking between them.

Before you buy or upgrade

  1. Confirm the exact RTX 4060 variant and its VRAM capacity — vendor and laptop versions differ.
  2. Open the linked source and check whether your target game and driver publish a compatible path.
  3. Treat “unconfirmed” as a prompt to wait for evidence; never infer support from a similar model.

GPU detail FAQ

Is RTX 4060 confirmed for DLSS 5?

RTX 4060 is recorded as “Unconfirmed by NVIDIA” in this evidence set. The linked source and the status above are the basis for this page.

Can RTX 4060 run the local DLSS5 Studio workflow?

Yes for the published requirements: RTX 20 series or newer with 8 GB of VRAM. 16 GB is recommended for 1080p and 4K video.

Does VRAM alone decide DLSS 5 support?

No. VRAM is one hardware fact. Architecture, driver, game integration and NVIDIA’s published compatibility scope all matter.
