Performance Analysis

The RTX 4060 Ti triples FP16 and FP32 throughput at 15.1 TFLOPS over the P4000's 5.3 TFLOPS, accelerating machine learning training and inference by approximately three times on compute-bound operations. Equal FP16 and FP32 rates in both GPUs suit mixed-precision training without penalties, but the RTX 4060 Ti's advantage shortens epochs for large models. Higher memory bandwidth of 272 GB/s versus 243 GB/s on the RTX 4060 Ti supports larger batch sizes in training, reducing overhead from data transfers and enabling 10-20% efficiency gains in bandwidth-limited scenarios like LLM fine-tuning. Both share 8 GB VRAM, limiting massive models equally, yet Ada Lovelace tensor cores enhance RTX 4060 Ti efficiency for inference at scale. TDP rises modestly to 115W from 105W, implying similar power envelopes with superior output per watt on the newer card.
