GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 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 RTX 4080 SUPER also has a significantly 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 GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER at 340 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 GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
