GeForce GTX 1060 vs Radeon RX 6700M specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6700M graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 in our tests.

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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 6700M has significantly more memory with 10 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 slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6700M at 135 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6700M is better than the GeForce GTX 1060.
