GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce 930MX comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 beats the GeForce 930MX in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 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 930MX has a significantly lower TDP at 17 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 at 120 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 GeForce GTX 1060 is faster than the GeForce 930MX.
