The Verdict

The data presents a clear performance hierarchy between these two cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, with an average benchmark score of 31,087 and a 76th percentile placement, is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has no benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile, which reflects its lower position in the database rather than a measured performance result.

For users prioritizing measured performance, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the definitive choice based on available data. Its 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 689.0 GTexel/s texture rate represent the upper tier of GPU capabilities. The card also delivers 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth, which supports demanding workloads. Its nearest rivals in the database are all within 1.9% of its average score, indicating it competes at the level of workstation-class NVIDIA cards.

The Intel Arc A380E x2, by contrast, offers a different profile. Its 4.096 TFLOPS FP32, 64.00 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 128.0 GTexel/s texture rate are an order of magnitude lower. The card uses 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 96-bit bus, yielding 186.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its 50th percentile placement reflects a mid-tier position, but without benchmark scores, direct comparison is impossible from the recorded data.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the card for users who need measured performance in the database. The Arc A380E x2 may have niche appeal for its eight mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs, but the data cannot confirm any performance advantage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two cards. The winsA and winsB fields are both 0, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. This means no direct comparison tests were recorded.

However, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a full set of ten individual benchmark scores. The highest recorded score is in Geekbench OpenCL at 199,267, followed by Passmark G3D at 31,811 and Passmark GPU Compute at 18,372. The Vulkan score in Geekbench is 53,683. The DirectX tests in Passmark show 360 for DirectX 9, 278 for DirectX 11, 181 for DirectX 10, and 119 for DirectX 12. The 2D test in Passmark records 1,225.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records a score of 5,569. These scores collectively produce the 31,087 average, which places the card at the 76th percentile. The nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Quadro M5000 at 31,206, the GRID M60-1Q at 31,220, the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 31,532, and the TITAN RTX at 31,676. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER trails the TITAN RTX by 1.9%, which is the largest gap among these four rivals, yet it remains within a narrow band.

The Arc A380E x2 has no recorded scores in any test. Its average benchmark score of 0 means the database has no data points to compare against the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. Consequently, the analysis relies entirely on the raw specifications and the percentile placement for the Intel card.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ substantially in nearly every measurable specification. The Intel Arc A380E x2 has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8,448 shading units, 264 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The NVIDIA card also has 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores, while the Intel card has 8 RT cores and no tensor core field recorded.

Clock speeds differ markedly. The Arc A380E x2 runs at 2000 MHz for both base and boost. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER runs at 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost. Memory clocks also diverge: the Intel card uses 1937 MHz (15.5 Gbps effective), while the NVIDIA card uses 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective).

The power profiles are distinct. The Intel card has a 130 W TDP, a single-slot design, a 1x 6-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 300 W. The NVIDIA card has a 285 W TDP, a triple-slot design, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 600 W.

Physical dimensions differ as well. The Intel card measures 265 mm in length, 127 mm in height, and 20 mm in width. The NVIDIA card measures 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. The bus interface also differs: the Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

Display outputs vary significantly. The Intel card offers 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0. The NVIDIA card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial. The Intel Arc A380E x2 uses the DG2-128 chip based on Xe-HPG architecture, belonging to the Alchemist generation (Arc 3). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, belonging to the GeForce 40 generation.

The process nodes differ: Intel uses a 6 nm node at TSMC, while NVIDIA uses a 5 nm node at TSMC. Transistor counts reflect this difference, with the Intel chip containing 7,200 million transistors and the NVIDIA chip containing 45,900 million. Die sizes also diverge, at 157 mm² for Intel and 379 mm² for NVIDIA. Transistor density is higher on the NVIDIA chip at 121.1M per mm², compared to 45.9M per mm² for Intel.

Compute capabilities differ in structure. The Intel card delivers 4.096 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The NVIDIA card delivers 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 and 44.10 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio). This means the NVIDIA card has roughly 10.8 times the FP32 throughput of the Intel card, and its FP16 rate equals its FP32 rate rather than halving it.

The RT core counts differ sharply: 8 on the Intel card versus 66 on the NVIDIA card. Tensor cores are present only on the NVIDIA card, with 264 of them; the Intel card has no tensor core field recorded. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Memory architecture also differs. The Intel card uses 6 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, producing 186.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card uses 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, producing 672.3 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA card offers 3.6 times the bandwidth of the Intel card.

Production status for both is end-of-life. The Intel card was released on 2024-03-31, with a predecessor of Xe Graphics and a successor of Battlemage. The NVIDIA card was released on 2024-01-23, with a predecessor of GeForce 30 and a successor of GeForce 50.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc A380E x2 wins in the domain of display connectivity. Its 8x mini-DisplayPort 2.0 outputs exceed the NVIDIA card's 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. For multi-display configurations, the Intel card offers more ports and a newer DisplayPort standard. The Intel card also has a lower TDP at 130 W versus 285 W, and a single-slot design versus triple-slot, which may fit in space-constrained systems. Its 300 W suggested PSU versus 600 W also indicates lower system power requirements. The Intel card is shorter at 265 mm versus 310 mm, and narrower at 20 mm versus 61 mm.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins in every measured performance category. Its 44.10 TFLOPS FP32, 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 689.0 GTexel/s texture rate dwarf the Intel card's 4.096 TFLOPS, 64.00 GPixel/s, and 128.0 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card has 8,448 shading units versus 1,024, and 264 TMUs versus 64. Its memory subsystem is larger and faster: 16 GB GDDR6X versus 6 GB GDDR6, with 672.3 GB/s versus 186.0 GB/s bandwidth.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has recorded benchmark data, with an average score of 31,087 and a 76th percentile placement. The nearest rivals, all within 1.9% of its score, are NVIDIA Quadro and RTX PRO cards, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER performs at a workstation-class level. The Intel card has no recorded benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be quantified from the database.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also carries tensor cores (264 of them) and more RT cores (66 versus 8), which supports AI-related workloads and ray tracing. Its FP16 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS matches its FP32 rate, whereas the Intel card's FP16 is 8.192 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio.

For users who need measured, high-end performance with extensive memory bandwidth, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice. For users who prioritize many display outputs, lower power draw, and a compact single-slot form factor, the Intel Arc A380E x2 has advantages, though no benchmark data confirms its performance level.
