GeForce GTX 1660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060 6GB benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 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 1660 Ti has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 6 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, both the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB have an identical TDP. 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 1660 Ti is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
