GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Radeon R7 350 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU is faster than the Radeon R7 350 in gaming.

Our database shows that 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 significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the Radeon R7 350 has a significantly lower TDP at 55 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 Radeon R7 350.
