Which games can you play on a gaming laptop with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 video card?
How do you decide which games you can play with a video card?
How you can play a game depends on a few important things. We'll list them for you:
- First view the minimum and recommended specifications of a game.
- Read the benchmarks and see if your game suits the video card you want to game with.
- Decide in which resolution you want to game. The higher the resolution and the more detailed your settings, the more processing power your video card needs to create the frames.
- Turn on DLSS or FSR support in your game, so you video card can create extra frames for a smoother gameplay.
- Check whether your processor or RAM doesn't create a bottleneck. A processor that's too weak or has too little RAM reduces the performance of your game.

Which resolution and frames does the RTX 4060 achieve?
With an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, you can play almost all modern games in 1080p, even when these have many details. Think of Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, and No Man's Sky. These games also don't need DLSS support for smooth gameplay at 60 fps or higher. You can play light games more smoothly in 1440p thanks to the larger RAM, and extra cores. More demanding games with more detailed graphics can't reach these settings. For example, you can only play Microsoft Flight Simulator in Full HD with DLSS support on.
Which open world games can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4060?
Because the RTX 4060 has more cores and a higher RAM, you can play detailed games more smoothly. This means that you can play modern open world games with a higher frame rate. That way, you can play games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and Hogwarts Legacy smoothly at 60 fps in 1080p (Full HD). When you turn on DLSS, you can also play these games in 1440p (QHD) at 60 fps. You can also play lighter games like GTA V at high or ultra settings in 1440p/QHD. Keep in mind that we recommend at least an RTX 4070 for 4K gaming, QHD gaming at ultra settings, or with ray tracing.
Which shooters can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4060?
Because shooters mainly focus on the frame rate, you can play these games with lots of frames per second without any issues. You can play certain games at an esports level this way, which is around 240 fps. For example, you can play Counter-Strike at over 300 fps in 1080p at low settings. The same goes for Fortnite, which achieves around 200 fps in 1080p. Do you want to enjoy more details? You can play almost all shooters at 60 fps in 1440p. We recommend an RTX 4070 or higher when you want to game in 4K.
Which simulation and strategy games can you play with an NVIDIA RTX 4060?
With the RTX 4060, you have extra processing power that helps graphics mods run extra smoothly. Think of an extra demanding The Sims 4 pack or a Cities: Skyline expansion. The RTX 4060 is also powerful enough for Microsoft Flight Simulator in 1080p at high settings. In QHD, you can reach between 50 and 60 frames. In that case, turn on DLSS for an extra smooth gaming experience or choose a gaming laptop with an RTX 4070 or higher.
