GeForce GTX 660 vs P106-100 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the P106-100 GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 660 in gaming.

In our comparison, the P106-100 has a significantly 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 P106-100 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the P106-100 has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 660 at 140 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the P106-100 is better than the GeForce GTX 660.
