The RTX 4060 mobile or laptop, or whatever you want to call it, is one of the most popular GPUs in the Steam Hardware Survey. It has 8GB of VRAM and offers compute performance higher than a GTX 1080 Ti, meaning optimized games will run flawlessly. If you are looking to play recent AAA titles, the options are very limited and not well-optimized to run smoothly. The titles below will run nicely and are equipped with newer rendering methods, including RT and more. That said, let’s get started.

Note: This article is purely subjective and portrays the writer’s perspective.

1. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Next-Gen Edition)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was a remarkably optimized title, and the Next-Gen Edition is even more optimized than before. 8GB VRAM isn’t a problem in this title, particularly at 1080p. You can play the game at mid-high settings without RT and enjoy a high framerate. Only when you turn on RT do DLSS and Frame Generation techniques become essential factors to maintain a 60+ framerate. And then the 8GB VRAM gets in the way quite often. 

2. Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced Edition

GTA 5 Enhanced Edition performs well on the laptop’s 4060 GPU. It doesn’t matter if your TGP is either 100W or 140W, the performance difference is give or take 5%. The legacy edition also played incredibly well, even on very high settings.

It incorporates DLSS support, allowing you to switch to a transformer model for higher VRAM savings and improved image quality at aggressive presets. Overall, playing either the Enhanced or the Legacy will be a fantastic experience. Both iterations of the game are incredibly well optimized.

3. Counter-Strike 2

Coming to esports titles, Counter-Strike 2 plays the best. The GPU performance within the 4060 is technically more than enough to achieve high 200+ FPS, but here is the thing. It’s more of a CPU bottleneck than GPUs in laptops, particularly when playing FPS titles. Alternatively, you can try DOTA 2 if you’re a MOBA fan and prefer games that aren’t FPS. Both these titles are equally well optimized.

As for settings, on both games, low settings will yield the most FPS, and medium will provide a decent balance between image quality and performance.  

4. Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 is one of the best-optimized titles that runs flawlessly even on handhelds. As for the 4060, you could crank all the sliders to the max, and it would still be highly playable. However, doing that would run out of VRAM, or the game will warn you about VRAM limitations. Speaking of RT options within the game, you can easily play with DLSS upscaling. Using DLSS Swapper will result in lower VRAM usage, allowing you to use higher textures and play the game. 

5. God of War 2018

Remarkably few titles are as optimized as GOW 2018. You can easily dial in high settings without the use of any upscaling and play at 80+ FPS at 1080p. If you want to max out your laptop’s display’s maximum refresh rate, then you can easily use Frame Generation techniques to enjoy very high framerates. 

Verdict

All of these titles will run superbly on your RTX 4060 mobile. These are highly optimized titles that make excellent use of your hardware capabilities. That said, Days Gone is another prime example of a superbly optimized title, so you can try it too if you want. There are other titles such as RDR 2, Dishonored Series, Legacy, Dead Space, Evil Within, and numerous older titles that will run superbly with your 4060 mobile GPU.
