GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB beats the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a significantly 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 5GB also has a significantly 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 1650 Max-Q has a significantly lower TDP at 35 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB is better than the GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q.
