Notes on 12 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Intel Arc B570, Release date: All three launch-day reviews are dated 16 Jan 2025; Intel's page gives only the quarter 'Q4'24.
  2. 2Intel Arc B570, Launch price: Launch MSRP; Ars Technica notes it only counts if you can actually get one at that price.
  3. 3Intel Arc B570, Shader cores: Derived per definition: 18 Xe-cores x 128 shading units = 2,304.
  4. 4Intel Arc B570, Boost clock: Intel publishes only a 'Graphics Clock'; per the key's definition it is recorded as the boost clock.
  5. 5NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; other systems may need a different PSU.
  6. 6NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, Power connectors: One 16-pin 12V-2x6 socket; an adapter for two 8-pin cables comes in the box.
  7. 7Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
  8. 8Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
  9. 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at the full UHBR20 rate.
  10. 10Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
  11. 11Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
  12. 12Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.

Performance and Power

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 handles heavy rendering loads with 6,144 shader cores and 30.9 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power. That extra muscle requires a 250 W board power draw and a 650 W recommended PSU, compared to the rival setup.

The Intel Arc B570 keeps power demands much lower at 150 W across its 2,304 shader cores. This reduced energy footprint makes it a lighter load for standard system power supplies.

Memory and Speed

The NVIDIA card packs 12 GB of GDDR7 video memory on a 192-bit bus, driving memory bandwidth up to 672 GB/s at 28 Gbps. This setup handles high-resolution asset streaming smoothly in demanding modern software.

The Intel option includes 10 GB of GDDR6 memory across a narrower 160-bit bus, reaching a 380 GB/s bandwidth at 19 Gbps. It suits standard 1080p gaming workloads but offers less headroom for extreme texture packs.

Connectivity and Encoding

NVIDIA equips its architecture with PCIe 5.0 lanes and advanced DisplayPort 2.1b outputs running at the full UHBR20 rate for modern high-refresh monitors. It features a single video encoder block for streaming duties.

Intel relies on PCIe 4.0 with eight electrical lanes, requiring Resizable BAR support to perform optimally. It counters with two video encoders for parallel recording tasks and standard DisplayPort 2.1 outputs capped at UHBR 13.5.

FAQ

What power supply do I need for these cards?

NVIDIA recommends a 650 W PSU for a system running its card with a Ryzen 9 9950X, while Intel does not publish a specific wattage requirement for partner B570 cards.

What physical space do they take up in a PC case?

The reference NVIDIA card measures 242 mm long, 112 mm high, and takes up 2 slots, whereas Intel publishes no physical dimensions since it makes no first-party card.

How do their display outputs compare?

Both cards feature one HDMI port, three DisplayPort connections, and support a maximum of four connected displays.
