GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop beats the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly 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: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 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 3080 Ti Laptop is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
