Radeon R7 370 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB beats the Radeon R7 370 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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 3GB 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 1060 3GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon R7 370 at 150 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB over the Radeon R7 370.
