NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 3070 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3070 beats the GeForce GTX 1060 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 has a slightly 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 3070 has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3070 at 220 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 3070 over the GeForce GTX 1060.
