GTX 1060 3 GB GTX 1650 GPU architecture, market segment, value for money and other general parameters compared. Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better. GTX 1650 has 75% better value for money than GTX 1060 3 GB. General parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed.Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked. Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM. Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself. List of supported 3D and general-purpose computing APIs, including their specific versions. Non-gaming benchmark results comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale. This is our combined benchmark score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly. GTX 1060 3 GB24.85 +21.8% GTX 165020.40 This isthe most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
