GeForce GTX 1060 3GB vs T550 Laptop benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the T550 Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming.

Our database shows that 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the T550 Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 23 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 T550 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
