Notes on 16 values — test conditions and caveats
- 1Intel Arc B570, Release date: All three launch-day reviews are dated 16 Jan 2025; Intel's page gives only the quarter 'Q4'24.
- 2AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, Launch price: Launch MSRP was $349, but most 16GB models initially sold higher; Tom's Hardware saw them starting at $389.
- 3NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
- 4Intel Arc B570, Launch price: Launch MSRP; Ars Technica notes it only counts if you can actually get one at that price.
- 5Intel Arc B570, Shader cores: Derived per definition: 18 Xe-cores x 128 shading units = 2,304.
- 6Intel Arc B570, Boost clock: Intel publishes only a 'Graphics Clock'; per the key's definition it is recorded as the boost clock.
- 7NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: No Founders Edition exists; most partner cards use one 8-pin socket, a few use a 16-pin 12V-2x6 instead.
- 8Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
- 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, PCIe lanes: Only 8 lanes: on a PCIe 4.0 or 3.0 board it gets half or a quarter of the PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.
- 10Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
- 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 12Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
- 13AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, HDMI outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
- 14Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
- 15AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, DisplayPort outputs: AMD sells no reference card; this is the reference-design I/O. Partner cards can differ (Sapphire Pulse: 2 HDMI, 1 DP).
- 16Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
