AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Radeon RX 6900 XT vs GeForce GTX 1060 6GB specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6900 XT 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 Radeon RX 6900 XT 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 6900 XT has significantly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 6 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB has a significantly lower TDP at 120 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6900 XT at 300 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6900 XT is better than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB.
