Inno3D GeForce GTX 1060 6GB X2 vs iChill GeForce GTX 1060 6GB X3

The maximum pixel fillrate is calculated as the number of ROPs, multiplied by graphics clock speed. The iChill GeForce GTX 1060 6GB X3 has almost no lead here, as it operates at insignificantly higher rate, and both GPUs have identical number of Raster Operations Pipelines. Better maximum pixel fill rate allows more pixels to be drawn on screen per second, which results in increased GPU performance, unless there are bottlenecks somewhere else.

Another important factor, that affects overall card performance, is texture fillrate. This parameter is defined as the number of TMUs (Texture Mapping Units), multiplied by graphics frequency. Since two cards have the same number of TMUs, and the Inno3D iChill GeForce GTX 1060 6GB X3 is clocked slightly higher, it also has higher texture fillrate. Better texture fill rate allows the graphics card to apply more textures and/or use more sophisticated 3D effects for each textured picture element, which improves visual appearance of games and generated images.

Maximum Single Precision performance shows how many single-precision floating point operations the GPU can execute per second. The performance is measured in billions of Floating Point Operations Per Second, or GFLOPS. All single-precision calculations are performed by stream processors or CUDA cores, therefore the more cores / processors the graphics unit has the better. Performance also depends on the processor clock speed. The Inno3D iChill GeForce GTX 1060 6GB X3 graphics card is a bit faster here. Higher single-precision performance number means the GPU will perform better in general computing applications. Since CUDA cores or stream processors are also used as vertex and geometry shaders for 3D image generation, higher performance is also beneficial to games.

Memory bandwidth of both graphics cards is identical.
