Global climate models (GCMs) are the state-of-the-art tool for understanding climate change and predicting future. However, little research has been reported on the latest NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 product in China. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the simulated performance and drought capture utility of the NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 over China. First, the simulation skills of the 16 GCMs in NEX-GDDP-CMIP6 was evaluated by the 'DISO', a big data evaluation method. Second, the DISO framework for drought identification was constructed by coupling the Correlation Coefficient (CC), False Alarm Rate (FAR) and Probability of Detection (POD). Then, it was combined with SPI and SPEI to evaluate the drought detection capability of NEX-GDPD-CMIP6. The result shows that: (1) NEX-GDPD-CMIP6 can reproduce the spatial distribution pattern of historical precipitation and temperature, which performs well in simulating warming trend but fails to capture precipitation's fluctuation characteristics. (2) The best performing model in precipitation is ACCESS-CM2 (DISO 1.630) and in temperature is CESM2 (DISO 3.246). (3) The 16MME performs better than the best single model, indicating that multi-model ensemble can effectively reduce the uncertainty inherent in models. (4) The SPEI calculated by 16MME identifying drought well in arid, while SPI is recommended for other climate classifications of China.
