Notes on 14 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 4060 Ti 8GB, Board power: NVIDIA's table shows 165 or 160 W for RTX 4060 Ti; Tom's and TechSpot list 160 W for the 8GB model.
- 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's 550 W minimum assumes a Ryzen 9 5900X-class system; your build may need more.
- 7Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
- 8NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Power connectors: The card takes a 16-pin connector; NVIDIA includes an 8-pin PCIe adapter in the box.
- 9Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
- 10Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
- 11Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
- 12Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
- 13NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card length: Founders Edition length; partner cards vary by manufacturer.
- 14NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, Card height: NVIDIA labels this 'Width' (slot edge to card top); its clearance text cites 98 mm for the card.
Price and Value
The Intel B570 launches at $219 [Launch MSRP; Ars Technica notes it only counts if you can actually get one at that price.], offering a much lower entry cost than the NVIDIA 4060 Ti at $399. This massive price gap makes the Intel card significantly more attractive for budget-conscious builders.
Choosing the Intel B570 stretches your system budget further while still providing modern architecture and advanced features.
Memory and Performance
The Intel B570 equips 10 GB of GDDR6 video memory across a 160-bit bus, beating the NVIDIA 4060 Ti and its 8 GB of memory on a 128-bit bus. The Intel card also achieves a higher memory bandwidth of 380 GB/s compared to 288 GB/s.
On the other hand, the NVIDIA 4060 Ti counters with 4,352 shader cores and a 2,540 MHz boost clock [Intel publishes only a 'Graphics Clock'; per the key's definition it is recorded as the boost clock.], outpacing the Intel card's 2,304 cores [Derived per definition: 18 Xe-cores x 128 shading units = 2,304.] and 2,500 MHz boost clock.
Power and Video Encoding
The Intel B570 requires 150 W [Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.], slightly undercutting the NVIDIA 4060 Ti's 160 W [NVIDIA's table shows 165 or 160 W for RTX 4060 Ti; Tom's and TechSpot list 160 W for the 8GB model.] requirement. For connectivity, the NVIDIA card includes a 12V-2x6 connector taking a 16-pin connection with an 8-pin adapter in the box, while partner Intel B570 cards rely on a single 8-pin connector [Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.].
When editing or streaming video, the Intel B570 features 2 encoders supporting H.264, HEVC, and AV1. The NVIDIA 4060 Ti provides a single encoder limited to AV1.
The Verdict
Buy the Intel Arc B570 if you want a lower price and higher video memory. Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB if you prefer higher shader core counts and established software compatibility.
