GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs GeForce GTX 1630 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1630 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1630 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 1630 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 1630 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is better than the GeForce GTX 1630.
