GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 in our tests.

The GeForce GTX 1060 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, the GeForce GTX 1060 has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 4 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 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.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
