GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Ti comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 1060 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 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 4060 Ti has slightly more memory with 8 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti at 160 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 RTX 4060 Ti is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060.
