GeForce RTX 3060 Ti vs GeForce GTX 860M comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti beats the GeForce GTX 860M in gaming performance.

The GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 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 RTX 3060 Ti also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti at 200 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 3060 Ti is better than the GeForce GTX 860M.
