GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X vs Radeon RX Vega 56
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB GDDR5X |
| 90 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon RX Vega 56 . |
| 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| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Pascal), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |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 Radeon RX Vega 56 |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports TrueAudio |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends Radeon RX Vega 56
Based on theoretical specifications.
