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 5090, 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 5090, 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 5090, Slot width: The card is 2-slot, but NVIDIA's install guide asks for 3-slot (61 mm) case clearance.

Price and Value

The launch MSRP sets these two options miles apart for builders on strict budgets. The Intel Arc B570 costs $219, making it accessible for modest system upgrades.

By contrast, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 costs $1,999. Buyers must weigh that massive price gap against their actual graphical demands.

Performance and Memory

The NVIDIA card packs 21,760 shader cores and 32 GB of Gddr7 memory running on a 512-bit bus. This configuration delivers 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a staggering 1,792 GB/s of memory bandwidth for heavy computational tasks.

Intel's entry relies on 2,304 shader cores and 10 GB of Gddr6 memory. While it reaches a 2,500 MHz boost clock, it serves lighter workloads compared to the flagship competitor.

Power and System Requirements

Power demands differ drastically between these two graphics cards. The Intel card draws 150 W and uses a single 8-pin connector, fitting easily into standard power budgets.

The NVIDIA option commands a massive 575 W board power and requires a 1,000 W PSU. It connects using a 12V-2x6 socket and demands careful case clearance planning.
