GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs RTX A4000 specs and performance

For gaming, the RTX A4000 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. 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 slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the RTX A4000 at 140 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the RTX A4000 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
