Fragz' verdict
The RTX 5060 Laptop GPU takes a narrow lead over the Radeon RX 6600 XT, showing a 0.6% advantage in overall GPU score, though it's important to remember both cards have only one verified run each, making the sample size thin. The RTX 5060 Laptop GPU showcases its strength with higher frame rates in Mission to Earth II DX12 at 23.9 FPS and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate at 22.7 FPS, supported by its significantly higher memory bandwidth of 107 GB/s compared to the Radeon's 42 GB/s. However, the Radeon RX 6600 XT isn't far behind, even outperforming the RTX in Earth II Vulkan with 17.5 FPS against 14.3 FPS, and boasts a higher raw compute with an ALU index of 238724. Ultimately, while the RTX 5060 Laptop GPU might offer a slight edge in certain modern DX12 titles, the Radeon RX 6600 XT remains a competitive option, especially for gamers leaning towards Vulkan-optimized experiences.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
