HD 505 vs GeForce GTX 1060 6GB comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB beats the HD 505 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly 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 6GB also has a significantly 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 HD 505 has a significantly lower TDP at 6 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.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB is faster than the HD 505.
