GeForce GTX 1060 6GB vs Radeon Vega 11 benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 11 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. 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.

In addition, the Radeon Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 120 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is faster than the Radeon Vega 11.
