GeForce GTX 1060

2016

Why buy it

✅+1084% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 1041.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 3.5 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $240 MSRP).
✅1100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs 512 MB).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon E6760: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon E6760 is already obsolete for modern gaming.

Trade-offs

❌Poor future-proofing: 2016-era hardware with 6 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌300% higher power demand at 180W vs 45W.

Radeon E6760

2011

Why buy it

✅Costs $9 less on MSRP ($240 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).
✅Draws 45W instead of 180W, a 135W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (850 vs 10,064).
❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2011-era hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 3.5 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($240 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1060 better than Radeon E6760?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 10,064 vs 850 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 1060 is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon E6760 is a 2011 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce GTX 1060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2016 generation instead of 2011, 1084.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 512 MB, and the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce GTX 1060 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce GTX 1060 is about 3.8% more expensive on MSRP at $249 MSRP versus $240 MSRP, and you are getting 1084.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon E6760 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Radeon E6760 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon E6760 is 2011 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM, 850 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
