Take a wild guess where the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X finished in the Company of Heroes 3 benchmark. Yup, you guessed it -- just ahead of the reference clocked RTX 4060, trading blows with the Radeon RX 67x0 series cards, depending on the resolution.
Far Cry 6 Benchmarks Benchmarks
Next up, we’ve got some benchmark scores from Far Cry 6, the latest installment in the storied franchise. Like its predecessors, Far Cry 6 is a fast-action shooter set in an open world environment with lush visuals and high graphics fidelity. The game is set on the fictional Caribbean island of Yara, ruled by dictator "El Presidente" Antón Castillo, famously played by actor Giancarlo Esposito. We tested all of the graphics cards here at multiple resolutions using Ultra Quality settings to see how they handled this AAA title.

Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is an action-adventure game where you play as Star-Lord and lead the rest of the Guardians from mission to mission. The game’s minimum requirements call for a Radeon RX 570 or GeForce GTX 1060-class GPU, but it also supports some of the latest graphics technologies, including DXR and DLSS.

Guardians Of The Galaxy NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Details @ 1080p
With AMD's latest drivers, when testing on a Ryzen 7000-based system Ray Tracing doesn't function properly on the Radeons in this game, so we've dropped them from the charts (something funky is going on between the Ryzen's low-power iGPU and the discrete cards). That said, the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X still lands in the expected position, behind the higher-end Ti, but ahead of the Intel Arc A770 LE and reference clocked ASUS board.
Flip on DLSS in Guardians and the framerates increase dramatically for all of the cards, with the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X landing just behind the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti.
Returnal Benchmarks
Returnal is a port of the popular PS5 game, which follows Selene as she searches for a way out of the barren landscape of an ancient civilization. Returnal is a fast-paced, third-person shooter that makes use of many advanced graphics techniques and employs technologies like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR...
Returnal NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Details @ 1080p
The MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X performed relatively well in Returnal. At 1080p, it lands in third place, behind the higher-end GeForces, but well ahead of any of the Radeons. The same is true at 1440p, though at the higher resolution the Arc A770 LE is right on top of it.
Enabling DLSS (or XeSS, or FSR) results in a significant framerate boost across the board, but the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X finishes in the familiar position behind the RTX 3060 and 4060 Tis.
F1 2022 Benchmarks
F1 2022 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX 12 with ray tracing, and it incorporates support for a number of AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and NVIDIA technologies (like DLSS). We tested the games with its Ultra High graphics preset, with ray-tracing and TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.
F1 2022
With DLSS or FSR 2 enabled, we once again see significant increases in performance, but it doesn't change the rankings. While all of the cards are able to achieve playable framerates at 1440p, the MSI GeForce RTX 4060 Gaming X is still able to outpace the Radeon RX 7600 and previous-gen 12GB GeForce RTX 3060.
Cyberpunk 2077 Benchmarks
Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the Cyberpunk tabletop role-playing game franchise. The tabletop game was published for the first time in 1988, and the intervening 30-some years have not changed the game world all that much. As a result, Cyberpunk 2077 looks somewhat retro-futuristic, as this is how people in the 1980s imagined what the future would look like. The game make use of virtually every advanced DirectX graphics technologies, features like DLSS, FSR and XeSS, and after a somewhat rocky release, it has been significantly updated and optimized for a multitude of hardware configurations...
