HD 4400 vs GeForce GTX 1060 6GB specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB beats the HD 4400 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly 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 6GB also has a significantly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has significantly more memory with 6 GiB of memory compared to 1.66 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the HD 4400 has a significantly lower TDP at 20 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at 120 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is better than the HD 4400.
