NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce RTX 4080 benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 4080 graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 in our tests.

The GeForce RTX 4080 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the GeForce RTX 4080 has significantly more memory with 16 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 4080 at 420 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 4080 is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
