Notes on 11 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.
- 5Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
- 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Power connectors: Reference card takes one 8-pin (adapter in the box); some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
- 7Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
- 8Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
- 9Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
- 10Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
- 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, Hardware encode: Checked pages only confirm AV1 encode; H.264/HEVC encode is not stated.
Graphics Performance
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 relies on the Ada Lovelace architecture and offers 3,072 shader cores alongside 15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. It also includes 24 MB of last-level cache.
In contrast, the Intel Arc B570 uses the Xe2 architecture with 2,304 shader cores and a boost clock of 2,500 MHz, though Intel does not publish its base clock or FP32 compute numbers.
Memory and Bandwidth
The Intel Arc B570 leads in memory specifications by featuring 10 GB of GDDR6 video memory paired with a 160-bit memory bus. It delivers a memory bandwidth of 380 GB/s at a memory speed of 19 Gbps.
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 provides 8 GB of GDDR6 video memory across a 128-bit memory bus. Its memory bandwidth reaches 272 GB/s at a memory speed of 17 Gbps.
Power and Efficiency
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 requires a board power of 115 W and a recommended PSU of 550 W. Its reference card uses an 8-pin power connector, while some partner models use a 6-pin instead.
The Intel Arc B570 draws a higher board power of 150 W using a single 8-pin connector on partner cards, while Intel publishes no recommended PSU wattage.
Video Encoding and Display Outputs
For video work, the Intel Arc B570 provides two hardware encoders supporting H.264, HEVC, and AV1. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 includes one encoder supporting AV1.
Both cards support up to four displays and feature PCIe 4.0 x8 slots. The NVIDIA card includes two HDMI 2.1a ports and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while partner cards for the Intel model typically offer one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.
The Verdict
Buy the Intel Arc B570 if you want wider memory buses and dual hardware encoders. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 if you prefer lower board power requirements and higher shader counts.
