About the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile is an end-of-life mobile graphics card that released in Q3 2016. It is built on the Pascal GPU microarchitecture (codename GP106) and is manufactured on a 16 nm process.

Memory

The GTX 1060 Mobile 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 Mobile includes 1,280 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,405 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,671 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 GPU has a thermal design power (TDP) of 80 W. A power supply not strong enough to handle this might result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.

Benchmark Performance

The GTX 1060 Mobile has the 146th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 14.05% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2018 with a MSRP of $999. It is built on the Turing GPU microarchitecture (codename TU102) and is manufactured on a 12 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 2080 Ti has 11 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 352 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 616 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 RTX 2080 Ti includes 4,352 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,350 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,545 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 272 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 88 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 544 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 68 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 2080 Ti occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4a, USB Type-C display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 2080 Ti has the 29th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 45.09% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 47,166 score and $999 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 47.21. This is the 67th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
