GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 590 GME comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 590 GME GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 in gaming.

In our comparison, 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.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 590 GME at 175 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 Radeon RX 590 GME is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
