GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce GTX 760 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB beats the GeForce GTX 760 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 760 at 170 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 GTX 760.
