GeForce GTX 1060

2016

Why buy it

✅+531% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 280.1% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 40.4 vs 10.6 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $150 MSRP).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (6 GB vs Unknown).
✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H 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.
❌1100% higher power demand at 180W vs 15W.

Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H

2020

Why buy it

✅Costs $99 less on MSRP ($150 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).
✅Draws 15W instead of 180W, a 165W reduction.
✅More future proof: Vega (2017−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (1,595 vs 10,064).
❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 6 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2020-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 10.6 vs 40.4 G3D/$ ($150 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1060 better than Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H?

Yes. GeForce GTX 1060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 10,064 vs 1,595 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 1060 is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H is a 2020 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 531.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 6 GB instead of Unknown, 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 66.0% more expensive on MSRP at $249 MSRP versus $150 MSRP, and you are getting 531.0% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

When does Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H make more sense than GeForce GTX 1060?

Yes. Radeon RX Vega11 Ryzen 7 3750H is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 180W), and staying closer to $150 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 1060. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 1060 currently gives you 531.0% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 280.1%.
