GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q vs Radeon Pro W5700 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q GPU is faster than the Radeon Pro W5700 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q 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. Despite this, the Radeon Pro W5700 has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 80 W when compared to the Radeon Pro W5700 at 205 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1060 Max-Q over the Radeon Pro W5700.
