GeForce GTX 1080 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1080 beats the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1080 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1080 also 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 1080 at 180 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1080 is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
