Apple M4 10-core GPU vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
Apple M4 10-core GPU
► remove from comparison
The 10-core Apple M4 GPU is a graphics adapter built into the 9-core and 10-core Apple M4 processors that has direct access to fast on-package LPDDR5x-7500 RAM (120 GB/s bandwidth) as well as hardware support for ray tracing and mesh shading and other modern technologies. It supports up to 3 displays with an "8K" resolution attainable on a single display. It also can HW-decode a few popular video codecs including first and foremost AVC, HEVC and AV1.
Performance
As our Fall 2024 Mac mini review confirmed, the iGPU is fast enough to run many 2023 and 2024 games at 1080p on low or medium quality settings. It appears its real-world performance is almost as good as the GeForce GTX 1650 Laptop. That being said, very few games have been compiled specifically for Apple silicon Macs meaning most titles have to be run via emulation layers. Some of them are displayed with visual artefacts as a result, or don't start at all.

M4-powered iPad Pros will be much slower in long-term GPU-intensive workloads than M4 iMacs, Mac minis and MacBook Pros due to the lack of proper cooling.
Power consumption
In M4 Mac minis, the GPU gets just slightly over a half of the total 40 W power budget allocated to the entire M4 chip. Needless to say, it has to be a lot more modest in iPad Pros where the entire M4 chip can consume ~14 W in short-term tasks and less than half of that in long-term tasks.
Just like the rest of the M4 chip, the graphics adapter is manufactured on a "second generation 3 nm" TSMC process which is still cutting-edge as of late 2024.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti
► remove from comparison
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti is a mid-range desktop graphics card utilizing the GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture. The 5060 Ti offers 4,608 CUDA cores and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Notoriously, the model has more VRAM compared to the higher-end RTX 5070, although with a lesser bus width of 128 bits. The launch price for the 16 GB variant was 429 USD. There is also a cheaper 8 GB variant.
Performance
Thanks to the bump in dedicated RT/CUDA cores and new architecture, the card is expected to offer better performance compared to the previous RTX 4060 Ti. The RTX 5060 Ti is expected to be among the faster graphics cards in 2025 and, presumably will deliver good performance at elevated resolution.
The RTX 5060 Ti is ~7% faster than the previous RTX 4060 Ti in benchmarks; however, in professional applications, its performance can be 3% to 21% higher. As for gaming performance, the new model is almost 11% faster than the previous RTX 4060 Ti. With that said, higher-end GeForce RTX 5070 can deliver 11% more FPS, while RTX 5070 Ti is 22% faster in games.
Power consumption
The GB206 chip is manufactured in the modern 4N FinFET process at TSMC (5nm) and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 180 Watts (20 W higher than RTX 4060 Ti).
