GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1060 vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti
The GeForce GTX 1060 and GeForce GTX 980 Ti post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.
Power & Efficiency
At 120W against 250W, the GeForce GTX 1060 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Pascal architecture on a TSMC 16nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Memory & Bandwidth
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti's memory is faster — 337 GB/s versus 192 GB/s (384-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1060 or GeForce GTX 980 Ti?
The GeForce GTX 1060 is the faster card. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
