GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

For gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in our tests.

Our database shows that 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 boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 250 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
