GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs Radeon RX 6400 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 6400 in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6400 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. In addition, the Radeon RX 6400 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6400 has a significantly lower TDP at 53 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 RX 6400.
