GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
