Notes on 18 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.
²Intel Arc B570, Launch price: Launch MSRP; Ars Technica notes it only counts if you can actually get one at that price.
³Intel Arc B570, Shader cores: Derived per definition: 18 Xe-cores x 128 shading units = 2,304.
⁴Intel Arc B570, Boost clock: Intel publishes only a 'Graphics Clock'; per the key's definition it is recorded as the boost clock.
⁵NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 9950X system; requirements vary with your configuration.
⁶NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; power needs vary by system configuration.
⁷NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, Power connectors: Native input is one 8-pin; NVIDIA's 300 W+ PCIe Gen 5 PSU-cable option works via the in-box adapter.
⁸NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, Power connectors: The card takes one 8-pin; a 300 W or greater Gen 5 (16-pin) PSU cable can be used with the in-box adapter.
⁹Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
¹⁰Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
¹¹NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050, DisplayPort version: NVIDIA specifies UHBR20 on these DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
¹²NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b outputs run at the UHBR20 link rate per NVIDIA's footnote.
¹³Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
¹⁴Intel Arc B580, DisplayPort version: Intel rates the DisplayPort outputs at DP 2.1 up to UHBR 13.5 (second output listed at UHBR 10).
¹⁵Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
¹⁶Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
¹⁷Intel Arc B580, Hardware encode: Intel's spec table also lists H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware encode as Yes.
¹⁸Intel Arc B580, Card height: Intel publishes this dimension as the card's 'Width' (115 mm) alongside the 272 mm length.
