GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce MX330 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB beats the GeForce MX330 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce MX330 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly 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 MX330 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 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 1060 3GB is faster than the GeForce MX330.
