Notes on 5 values — test conditions and caveats
  1. 1Intel Arc B580, DisplayPort version: Intel rates the DisplayPort outputs at DP 2.1 up to UHBR 13.5 (second output listed at UHBR 10).
  2. 2NVIDIA 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.
  3. 3Intel Arc B580, Hardware encode: Intel's spec table also lists H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) hardware encode as Yes.
  4. 4Intel Arc B580, Card height: Intel publishes this dimension as the card's 'Width' (115 mm) alongside the 272 mm length.
  5. 5NVIDIA 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 B580 costs $249, making it significantly more affordable than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at $429. For budget-conscious builders, this lower entry point frees up funds for other system components.

Memory and Performance

The NVIDIA card comes with 16 GB of GDDR7 video memory running on faster 28 Gbps speeds, whereas the Intel competitor features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with a wider 192-bit bus. The larger frame buffer on the NVIDIA option handles heavy asset loads better.

Intel equips its card with 2 video encoders compared to just 1 encoder on the NVIDIA card, which benefits dual-stream workloads.
