Radeon RX 570 vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB graphics card is better than the Radeon RX 570 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB 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 GTX 1060 5GB also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a slightly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 570 at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB over the Radeon RX 570.
