Radeon RX 460 vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 460 in gaming.

The GeForce GTX 1060 3GB has a slightly 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 3GB also has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the Radeon RX 460 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB 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 3GB is faster than the Radeon RX 460.
