GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Quadro P6000 specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro P6000 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in our tests.

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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Quadro P6000 has significantly more memory with 23.44 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Quadro P6000 at 250 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 Quadro P6000 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
