GeForce GTX 980 vs P106-100 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 980 GPU is faster than the P106-100 in gaming.

In our comparison, the P106-100 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. In addition, the P106-100 also has a slightly 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 P106-100 has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 980 at 165 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 980 is faster than the P106-100.
