Can I run Destiny 2 with a GeForce RTX 4060?

The GeForce RTX 4060 lands 14% above what Destiny 2 asks at high and 27% below the 22 it would need for ultra.

The GeForce RTX 4060 arrived 6 years after Destiny 2 shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 12 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Destiny 2. It sits 31 of 47 on our index.

The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 16 against the 22 that Destiny 2 asks for at the ultra tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.

That readout is the best this card can do in Destiny 2: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.

The same card with three different processors

In Destiny 2 the processor beside a GeForce RTX 4060 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.

Cheapest way up one tier

graphics card: GeForce RTX 5060

The GeForce RTX 4060 sits at index 16 and the ultra tier starts at 22.

That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the ultra tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
