GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 2080 Ti specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has significantly more memory with 11 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 250 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
