GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER beats the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 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 RTX 2070 SUPER 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 GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER at 215 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
