GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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. Despite this, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB have an identical TDP. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti over the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
