GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Quadro RTX 3000 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU is faster than the Quadro RTX 3000 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the Quadro RTX 3000 has a significantly lower TDP at 80 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 Quadro RTX 3000.
