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 5080, Recommended PSU: NVIDIA's minimum for a PC with a Ryzen 9 9950X; it recommends a PCIe CEM 5.1 compliant PSU.
  6. 6Intel Arc B570, Power connectors: Intel sells no first-party card; partner B570 cards use a single 8-pin connector.
  7. 7Intel Arc B570, PCIe lanes: Eight electrical lanes; Ars Technica notes Arc relies on Resizable BAR to perform optimally.
  8. 8Intel Arc B570, DisplayPort version: Maker caps DisplayPort 2.1 at UHBR 13.5.
  9. 9NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, DisplayPort version: DisplayPort 2.1b at UHBR20 on all three DP outputs.
  10. 10Intel Arc B570, HDMI outputs: Intel sells no first-party B570; this is the standard partner-card port layout.
  11. 11Intel Arc B570, Hardware encode: Maker also lists 'H.265 (HEVC) Hardware Encode/Decode: Yes' and 'AV1 Encode/Decode: Yes'.
  12. 12NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Slot width: The card is 2-slot (40 mm thick), but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Performance and Power

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 packs 10,752 shader cores and pushes 56.3 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, delivering massive gaming speeds. However, it demands a heavy 360 W board power and an 850 W power supply to run safely.

By contrast, the Intel Arc B570 keeps power consumption down to just 150 W while using a standard single 8-pin connector. This makes the Intel card much easier to fit into modest power setups without requiring a massive hardware overhaul.

Memory and Speed

NVIDIA equips its card with 16 GB of lightning-fast GDDR7 memory running on a 256-bit bus, achieving a massive 960 GB/s bandwidth. This setup handles heavy high-resolution assets and complex compute tasks with ease.

The Intel Arc B570 relies on 10 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 160-bit bus, capping bandwidth at 380 GB/s. While trailing significantly in raw memory throughput, it provides ample headroom for standard 1080p and 1440p gaming workloads.

System Compatibility

The RTX 5080 utilizes PCIe 5.0 across 16 lanes, offering maximum data transfer rates for modern motherboards. It also requires a 2-slot physical width and 3-slot case clearance.

The Intel option operates on PCIe 4.0 through 8 lanes and requires Resizable BAR to perform at its best. Buyers should check their motherboard and case dimensions before committing to either card.
