GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X |
130 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 980 Ti . |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Pascal), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 980 Ti |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Maxwell), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 980 Ti
Based on theoretical specifications.
