GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce 920MX comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB graphics card is better than the GeForce 920MX in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 920MX has a significantly lower TDP at 16 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is faster than the GeForce 920MX.
