Intel Arc A310E vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data covers only the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER; the Intel Arc A310E has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes the comparison one-sided in terms of measured performance. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER holds a 76th percentile rank across all GPUs in the database, while the Arc A310E sits at the 50th percentile with no average score recorded. The database shows zero benchmark wins for the Intel part and zero wins for the NVIDIA part in head-to-head testing, since no direct comparison runs exist.

For use-case separation, the data indicates the Arc A310E is designed for a fundamentally different workload profile. Its specifications point toward low-power embedded or display-oriented duties: a 75 W TDP, no power connectors, a single-slot cooler, and 4 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 64-bit bus. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, carries a 285 W TDP, requires a 16-pin power connector, spans a triple-slot cooler, and offers 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus. The Arc A310E wins on physical footprint and power draw, but those are not performance wins in the benchmark sense. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins on every measurable compute category, with its nearest rivals in the database including the NVIDIA TITAN RTX at a 1.9% lower average score and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at a 1.4% lower average score.

The Arc A310E's 50th percentile placement indicates it sits at the median of all GPUs, which is consistent with a low-end part. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 76th percentile places it firmly in the upper quarter of the database. For workloads such as 3D rendering, compute, or high-resolution gaming, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only one of the two with recorded evidence of capability. The Arc A310E's specifications suggest it targets basic display output or embedded applications where its modest compute resources and low power envelope are sufficient.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The Intel Arc A310E uses the DG2-128 chip built on Xe-HPG architecture, from the Alchemist generation (Arc 3). It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC and contains 7,200 million transistors on a 157 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 45.9 million per mm². Its predecessor is Xe Graphics and its successor is Battlemage. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, from the GeForce 40 generation. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC and packs 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, for a density of 121.1 million per mm². Its predecessor is GeForce 30 and its successor is GeForce 50.

The compute resources differ by an order of magnitude. The Arc A310E has 768 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 raster operation units, and 6 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores listed. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8,448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 ray tracing cores, and 264 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part also has a much higher pixel rate at 250.6 GPixel/s versus 32.00 GPixel/s for the Intel part, and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s versus 64.00 GTexel/s.

Memory architecture is also divergent. The Arc A310E uses 4 GB of GDDR6 with a 64-bit bus and 124.0 GB/s bandwidth, running at 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective). The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR6X with a 256-bit bus and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth, running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). Clock behavior differs as well: the Arc A310E has a fixed 2000 MHz base and boost, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost.

API support is identical on paper: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interface differs, with the Arc A310E using PCIe 4.0 x8 and the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER using PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the Arc A310E has four mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no head-to-head benchmark entries in the database, so no direct score comparisons exist between the two parts. However, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has its own benchmark results, which can be interpreted relative to its nearest rivals. The most significant score is the PassMark G3D result of 31,811, which sits close to the average score of 31,087 across all its recorded benchmarks. Its average score places it 0.4% behind the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31,206) and 0.4% behind the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31,220). It is 1.4% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31,532) and 1.9% ahead of the NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31,676). These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER performs essentially at parity with high-end workstation cards from previous generations.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 5,569, which is a modern ray tracing and rasterization workload. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 199,267, a strong compute result. The Geekbench Vulkan score is 53,683. PassMark sub-tests show 181 for DirectX 10, 278 for DirectX 11, 119 for DirectX 12, and 360 for DirectX 9. The PassMark G2D score is 1,225, and the PassMark GPU Compute score is 18,372. The DirectX 12 score being lower than DirectX 11 is notable, but the overall G3D score of 31,811 indicates the card handles modern 3D workloads well. The Arc A310E has no recorded scores in any of these tests, so no numerical comparison can be made.

The data shows the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 44.10 TFLOPS of FP16 performance in a 1:1 ratio. The Arc A310E delivers 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 and 6.144 TFLOPS of FP16 in a 2:1 ratio. This indicates the Intel part can split its FP32 units for FP16 work, but its raw throughput is far lower. The NVIDIA part's FP16 performance equals its FP32 performance, which is typical for Ada Lovelace consumer parts.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only one of the two with measured performance evidence. Its 76th percentile rank, average benchmark score of 31,087, and strong sub-test results across 3DMark, Geekbench, and PassMark establish it as a high-performance GPU. The Arc A310E has no benchmark scores, a 50th percentile rank, and an average score of zero in the database. Its specifications indicate a low-power, compact part intended for tasks where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W TDP, triple-slot cooler, and 310 mm length would be impractical.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER should be selected for any workload requiring substantial compute, ray tracing, or memory bandwidth. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth support large datasets and high-resolution textures. Its 264 tensor cores and 66 ray tracing cores enable accelerated AI and ray-traced workloads. The Arc A310E should be selected only where its 75 W power draw, single-slot form factor, and lack of external power connectors are mandatory constraints. Its 4 GB memory and 124.0 GB/s bandwidth limit it to light or legacy workloads.

The launch MSRP of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 799 USD. The Arc A310E has no launch MSRP recorded. The production status for both parts is end-of-life, with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER released on 2024-01-23 and the Arc A310E released on 2024-03-31. Neither part is current in the database.
