GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce 830M specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU is faster than the GeForce 830M in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce 830M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is better than the GeForce 830M.
