GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti in gaming.

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 1060 5GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 Ti at 150 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 1060 5GB is better than the GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
