Radeon RX 6600M vs GeForce GTX 1060 3GB specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6600M beats the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6600M 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 Radeon RX 6600M also has a slightly 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 Radeon RX 6600M has a slightly lower TDP at 100 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6600M is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 3GB.
