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.
- 6Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
- 7Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
- 8Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
- 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Max displays: Standard configuration supports up to 4 simultaneous displays based on the 3 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI port count.
- 10Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
- 11NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, Slot width: Calculated from the published 40 mm width (thickness), typically corresponding to a dual-slot form factor.
Price and value
The Intel Arc B570 wins decisively on upfront cost with a launch MSRP of $219. That price makes it far more accessible for tight system budgets than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which lists at $429.
Buyers choosing the NVIDIA option pay significantly more, but that extra investment funds higher-end specifications across the board, including a more robust Blackwell architecture and faster core clocks.
Memory and performance
The NVIDIA card equips 16 GB of GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448 GB/s of bandwidth. By comparison, the Intel card provides 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus reaching 380 GB/s.
That larger and faster memory pool on the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB handles heavy texture streaming and high-resolution assets much more comfortably, whereas the Arc B570 suits moderate gaming loads.
Power and physical fit
Power requirements favor the Intel card, which operates at a modest 150 W board power compared to the 180 W demanded by the NVIDIA rival. Both options utilize a single 8-pin power connector.
System builders should note that the RTX model spans a 241 mm length, 111 mm height, and a 2-slot width, while physical dimensions for partner Arc B570 cards are not published due to the lack of a first-party reference design.
Video encoding and connectivity
Both cards feature hardware encode support for H.264, HEVC, and AV1, but the Intel competitor integrates 2 encoders compared to 1 encoder on the NVIDIA card. Both provide identical display outputs consisting of one HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 2.1 ports, supporting up to four simultaneous displays.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB if you need expansive 16 GB video memory and superior core performance. Buy the Intel Arc B570 if you want a capable gaming card at a much lower price point and lower power draw.
