GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in gaming performance.

The GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB also has a slightly 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 GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
