GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB in gaming.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB 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 GeForce GTX 1060 5GB 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 RTX 3050 Ti Laptop has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB at 120 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 3050 Ti Laptop over the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB.
