NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

GeForce RTX 2060 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2060 beats the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming performance.

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

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2060 at 160 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 conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce RTX 2060 over the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
