GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon Pro W5700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon Pro W5700 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly 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. Despite this, the Radeon Pro W5700 has a slightly 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 Radeon Pro W5700 at 205 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon Pro W5700 over the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
