About the AMD Radeon RX 5700 GPU
The AMD Radeon RX 5700 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2019 with a MSRP of $349. It is built on the RDNA 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 10) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.
Memory
The RX 5700 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The RX 5700 includes 2,304 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,465 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,725 MHz. It usually operates at 1,625 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 144 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The RX 5700 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 180 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The RX 5700 has the 69th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 30.09% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 31,470 score and $349 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 90.17. This is the 25th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6 GB) is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2016 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP106) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.
Memory
The GTX 1060 has 6 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 2,002 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 192.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTX 1060 includes 1,280 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,506 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,709 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 80 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTX 1060 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 120 W.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The GTX 1060 has the 132nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.64% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 17,401 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 58.2. This is the 57th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
