GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop 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.

In addition, the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop has a slightly lower TDP at 115 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 RTX 4060 Laptop is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
