GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon R7 350 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 350 in gaming.

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 significantly 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 R7 350 has a significantly lower TDP at 55 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB is faster than the Radeon R7 350.
