GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 1060 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 1060 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q.
