Notes on 13 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.
- 2NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, Launch price: NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition of this card; $379 is the starting MSRP for partner cards.
- 3Intel Arc B570, Launch price: Launch MSRP; Ars Technica notes it only counts if you can actually get one at that price.
- 4Intel Arc B570, Shader cores: Derived per definition: 18 Xe-cores x 128 shading units = 2,304.
- 5Intel Arc B570, Boost clock: Intel publishes only a 'Graphics Clock'; per the key's definition it is recorded as the boost clock.
- 6NVIDIA 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.
- 7Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
- 8NVIDIA 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.
- 9Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
- 10NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
- 11Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
- 12Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
- 13Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
Price and Value
The Intel Arc B570 starts at $219, making it substantially more affordable for budget-conscious builders. However, Ars Technica notes that this launch MSRP only counts if you can actually get one at that price.
By comparison, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB costs $379 for partner cards since NVIDIA sells no Founders Edition. That higher price buys a Blackwell architecture featuring 4,608 shader cores and a 2,572 MHz boost clock.
Memory and Bandwidth
The Intel card offers 10 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 160-bit memory bus, giving it a higher capacity. It achieves 380 GB/s of memory bandwidth at a speed of 19 Gbps.
The NVIDIA competitor counters with faster GDDR7 memory running at 28 Gbps. Despite a narrower 128-bit bus and 8 GB of video memory, its memory bandwidth reaches 448 GB/s.
Power and Interface
The Intel card draws 150 W of board power and relies on a single 8-pin connector provided by partners. It communicates over PCIe 4.0 lanes.
The NVIDIA alternative demands 180 W and requires a 600 W recommended PSU, using an 8-pin connector on most partner cards or a 16-pin 12V-2x6 on a few. It supports the faster PCIe 5.0 standard, though buyers on older PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 boards get reduced bandwidth from its eight lanes.
Displays and Video
For connecting monitors, the NVIDIA card features HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b outputs capable of the full UHBR20 rate. It includes three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI port.
The Intel option includes matching port counts with HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.1 capped at UHBR 13.5. It pulls ahead in video encoding by packing two hardware encoders compared to one encoder on the NVIDIA processor.
The Verdict
Buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB if you want superior shader performance, faster GDDR7 memory speeds, and PCIe 5.0 support. Buy the Intel Arc B570 if you need to stick to a strict budget and prefer higher VRAM capacity with dual video encoders.
