GeForce GTX 1070 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti at 180 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 GTX 1070 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
