GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon Pro 5300 comparison

For gaming, the Radeon Pro 5300 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 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 Radeon Pro 5300 has a slightly lower TDP at 85 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon Pro 5300 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
