GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 770 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 770 in our tests.

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 GTX 1060 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 770 at 230 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 is faster than the GeForce GTX 770.
