GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce GTX 780 Ti comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming performance.

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. 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 significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 780 Ti at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
