What does this comparison mean?
The GTX 1060 in this pairing is the 6GB model with 9Gbps GDDR5, rather than the original 8Gbps memory. RX 7800 XT 16GB leads by 276.5% using these exact entries; a generic GTX 1060 listing is not enough to choose the correct result.
GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 9 Gbps) has 6GB and RX 7800 XT 16GB has 16GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 9 Gbps)
NVIDIA documented partner GTX 1060 6GB cards with 9Gbps GDDR5 in May 2017. They retain the GTX 1060 name but have faster memory than the original 8Gbps configuration, so their benchmark entries stay separate.
RX 7800 XT 16GB
The RX 7800 XT combines RDNA 3 with 16GB of GDDR6. It became available in September 2023 alongside the 12GB RX 7700 XT.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. GTX 1060 6GB (GDDR5, 9 Gbps) uses the 145-card GeForce GTX 1060 6GB family total; GPUsed has not split it by this exact variant. Full benchmark method.
