GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce GTX TITAN X benchmarks

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

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 maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX TITAN X at 250 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

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