Intel Arc A310 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits these two GPUs into entirely separate performance strata. The Intel Arc A310 collects most of its scores across legacy DirectX tests and compute workloads, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single modern DirectX 12 benchmark on record. The A310 shows wins in DirectX 9, 10, and 11 scenarios, plus a strong showing in OpenCL and Vulkan compute tests. Its PassMark DirectX 9 score of 69 is more than double its DirectX 12 score of 29, suggesting the older API workloads play to its strengths. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5, which places it in a different league entirely for modern rendering paths.

The A310 also records a PassMark G3D score of 5433 and a G2D score of 625, along with a GPU compute score of 2157. Its Geekbench OpenCL result of 30607 and Vulkan result of 28964 indicate that compute-oriented tasks, particularly those using OpenCL, are where this small Intel part is most competitive relative to its own other results. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER does not have comparable multi-test coverage in the database, so its win profile is narrower but far more decisive in the one test recorded. The data implies the A310 is a legacy-DX and compute-oriented card, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is built for current-generation DirectX 12 workloads with massive raw throughput.

Architecture Differences

The two chips share almost nothing architecturally. Intel uses the DG2-128 die with Xe-HPG architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm TSMC process. NVIDIA uses the GB203 die with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, on a 5 nm TSMC process. The transistor counts tell a stark story: Intel packs 7,200 million transistors onto a 157 mm² die, yielding a density of 45.9 million transistors per square millimeter. NVIDIA crams 45,600 million transistors onto a 378 mm² die, achieving 120.6 million per square millimeter. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has over six times the transistor count and more than 2.4 times the die area.

The shading resources differ by an order of magnitude. The A310 has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, plus 6 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores. Clock speeds also diverge: the A310 runs at 1750 MHz for both base and boost, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER boosts to 2452 MHz from a 2295 MHz base. Memory configurations are equally divergent. The A310 uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 124.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock reads 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective) for Intel versus 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA.

The power envelopes are night and day. The A310 has a 30 W TDP, requires no power connectors, and fits in a single slot. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws 350 W, needs a 16-pin connector, and occupies a dual-slot footprint measuring 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm. The bus interfaces also differ: PCIe 4.0 x8 for Intel versus PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA. Display outputs favor Intel with four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while NVIDIA offers one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b ports. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is the one area of parity.

The Verdict

The data supports a clean split by workload generation. The Intel Arc A310 is an end-of-life product released in October 2022, positioned as an entry-level Alchemist part. Its benchmark scores cluster around legacy DirectX and compute tasks. The PassMark DirectX 9 score of 69 and DirectX 10 score of 31 show that older APIs run relatively well on this hardware. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 30607 beats its own Vulkan score of 28964, suggesting compute-heavy OpenCL applications are its strongest use case. The average benchmark score of 7550 puts it in the 40th percentile of all GPUs, with nearest rivals like the AMD Radeon R7 250 (7557, 0.1% ahead), AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 (7580, 0.4% ahead), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 (7472, 1% behind), and AMD Radeon HD 8850M (7447, 1.4% behind). This is a tightly clustered group where the A310 trades blows with older mid-range cards.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is an active product from the GeForce 50-series, released at the end of 2025 with a launch MSRP of 749 USD. Its single recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 6269.5, places it in the 36th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals are fascinating: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 scores exactly 6270 (0% delta), the Quadro K620 scores 6282 (0.2% ahead), the AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223 (0.8% behind), and the Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327 (0.9% ahead). The clustering suggests that in this specific DX12 test, the 5070 Ti SUPER lands in a competitive mid-pack, despite its flagship-class specifications. The average benchmark score of 6270 reflects only this one data point.

The verdict from the data is straightforward. Choose the Arc A310 if the workload involves legacy DirectX 9, 10, or 11 titles, or OpenCL compute tasks where its 2.688 TFLOPS FP32 and 5.376 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) throughput is sufficient. Choose the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER for modern DirectX 12 gaming, where its 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 and 43.94 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) performance, 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 70 RT cores provide the necessary headroom. The 30 W power draw of the A310 versus the 350 W of the RTX card also implies very different system requirements, though the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER lacks a suggested PSU rating in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two GPUs. Instead, each has its own separate benchmark suite. The Arc A310 has nine recorded scores, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has one. The most meaningful comparison comes from the average benchmark scores. The A310 averages 7550 across its tests, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER averages 6270 based on its single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. However, these averages are not directly comparable due to different test suites.

The A310's biggest wins come in legacy DirectX tests. Its PassMark DirectX 9 score of 69 is the highest among its own results, followed by DirectX 10 at 31, DirectX 11 at 33, and DirectX 12 at 29. The G2D score of 625 and G3D score of 5433 show that 2D and general 3D workloads are handled adequately for its class. The GPU compute score of 2157 is relatively low, but the Geekbench OpenCL score of 30607 and Vulkan score of 28964 indicate that compute-oriented APIs perform better than the PassMark compute test suggests. The FP16 performance of 5.376 TFLOPS (2:1) is double its FP32 rate, which is typical for Intel's Xe-HPG architecture.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 represents a modern DirectX 12 workload. Its nearest rivals in the database include the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at 6270 (0% delta), the Quadro K620 at 6282 (0.2% ahead), the AMD FirePro W600 at 6223 (0.8% behind), and the Radeon R7 M350 at 6327 (0.9% ahead). This clustering is notable because the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has vastly higher specifications than these rivals, yet scores within 1% of them in this specific test. The data suggests that 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 may not fully leverage the card's 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 throughput or its 280 tensor cores. The pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s are far above the A310's 28.00 GPixel/s and 56.00 GTexel/s, but the benchmark result does not reflect that proportional advantage.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across every major specification category. The process node differs: 6 nm for Intel versus 5 nm for NVIDIA, both from TSMC. Transistor count is 7,200 million for the A310 versus 45,600 million for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, a 6.3 times difference. Die size is 157 mm² versus 378 mm², and transistor density is 45.9M per mm² versus 120.6M per mm².

Clock speeds differ significantly. The A310 has a base and boost clock of 1750 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. Memory clocks are 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective) for Intel versus 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA, with the GDDR7 standard providing the higher effective rate despite a lower physical clock.

Memory configuration is one of the largest gaps. The A310 has 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 64-bit bus with 124.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth. That is four times the capacity, four times the bus width, and 7.2 times the bandwidth.

Compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The A310 has 768 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, 6 RT cores, and no tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The FP32 throughput is 2.688 TFLOPS versus 43.94 TFLOPS, and FP16 is 5.376 TFLOPS (2:1) versus 43.94 TFLOPS (1:1). Pixel rate is 28.00 GPixel/s versus 235.4 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 56.00 GTexel/s versus 686.6 GTexel/s.

Power and physical characteristics also diverge. The A310 has a 30 W TDP, is single-slot, requires no power connectors, and has a suggested PSU of 200 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a 350 W TDP, is dual-slot, requires a 16-pin connector, and has no suggested PSU listed. Its dimensions are 304 mm by 137 mm by 48 mm. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8 for Intel versus PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA. Display outputs are 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 for Intel versus 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b for NVIDIA. Production status is end-of-life for the A310 and active for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER.
