GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce MX250 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card is better than the GeForce MX250 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.

In addition, the GeForce MX250 has a significantly lower TDP at 10 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 MX250.
