GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs GeForce GTX 1060
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is dramatically faster, around 43% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1060. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 Ti packs 2,816 CUDA cores versus 1,280 on the GeForce GTX 1060.
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.
