Intel Arc B570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains only one direct comparison between the Intel Arc B570 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this workload, the NVIDIA card scores 6269.5 points, while the Intel card scores 2649 points. That places the NVIDIA card 57.7% ahead, a decisive margin that reflects the substantial difference in raw rendering throughput between the two products.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score of 6270 dwarfs the Arc B570's average of 20556 across its broader suite of tests. However, these averages are not directly comparable, as the Intel card was evaluated across ten different workloads, while the NVIDIA card has only the single Steel Nomad result recorded. The Intel card's average is pulled upward by strong compute and API-specific results, such as 96844 in Geekbench Vulkan and 83514 in Geekbench OpenCL, tests that are not present for the NVIDIA card.

Looking at the nearest rival data, the Arc B570 sits in a tight cluster of GPUs around the 20.5K average score mark. It is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534), 0.1% behind the Intel Arc A750 (20582), 0.4% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480), and 0.5% behind the AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662). These sub-1% deltas indicate that the Arc B570 performs essentially at parity with its closest competitors, with no meaningful separation between them.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rival list tells a different story. Its average score of 6270 is exactly matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270, 0% delta), 0.2% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282), 0.8% ahead of the AMD FirePro W600 (6223), and 0.9% ahead of the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327). The absurdly close margins to cards with vastly different market positions suggest the database's rival matching algorithm is grouping by score rather than by product class, but the data as recorded shows the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER performing in line with that cluster.

The percentile rankings add context. The Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of recorded graphics cards. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile, which, given its single benchmark entry, indicates that its Steel Nomad result places it below the majority of accumulated GPU scores. This is an artifact of the limited data set for the NVIDIA card rather than a reflection of its actual standing among contemporary products.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc B570 wins in areas where the recorded benchmarks cover a wider range of workloads. Its PassMark G3D score of 14195, PassMark G2D score of 661, and PassMark GPU Compute score of 7281 show a card that handles general 3D rendering, 2D operations, and compute tasks with balanced capability. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 83514 and Vulkan score of 96844 indicate strong cross-API performance for a card in its class. The 3DMark Steel Nomad result of 2649 is the only direct head-to-head data point, and it is the sole benchmark where the NVIDIA card has a recorded win.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins decisively in the single shared test, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 workload. A score of 6269.5 versus 2649 represents a 57.7% advantage, which in practical terms means the NVIDIA card renders the same scene at more than twice the frame rate, assuming linear scaling. This test is a modern DX12 workload that stresses the full graphics pipeline, so the margin is meaningful for contemporary gaming and rendering tasks.

The Arc B570's advantage lies in its breadth of recorded results across legacy and modern APIs. It has scores for DirectX 9 (164), DirectX 10 (65), DirectX 11 (118), and DirectX 12 (72) in PassMark, plus the Geekbench compute tests. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has no such entries in the database, so any assessment of its legacy API performance or compute capabilities cannot be made from the recorded data. The Intel card also has a higher percentile rank at 65 versus 36, which reflects its position relative to the full database of GPUs, though again this is influenced by the NVIDIA card's sparse benchmark coverage.

For users focused purely on the data, the NVIDIA card wins the only test where both cards appear. The Intel card wins every other category by virtue of having more recorded results, but those are not direct comparisons.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families with distinct design priorities. The Intel Arc B570 uses the BMG-G21 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage generation for the Arc 5 series. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 series. Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process, so the manufacturing node is identical.

The physical scale differs substantially. The NVIDIA chip contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The Intel chip contains 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die, with a density of 72.1M per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs more than twice the transistor count into a die that is only 39% larger by area, which explains the higher density figure.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The Arc B570 uses 10 GB of GDDR6 on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card has 60% more memory capacity and more than double the bandwidth, a gap that matters for high-resolution textures and memory-intensive workloads.

Compute resources also favor the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The Arc B570 has 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, 80 ROPs, and 18 RT cores, with no tensor core count recorded. The NVIDIA card delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP16 (1:1 ratio). The Intel card delivers 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 and 23.04 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1 ratio). The NVIDIA card has roughly 3.8 times the FP32 throughput and nearly double the FP16 throughput.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern. The NVIDIA card achieves 235.4 GPixel/s and 686.6 GTexel/s, while the Intel card achieves 200.0 GPixel/s and 360.0 GTexel/s. The ROP count difference is modest (96 versus 80), but the shading and texture advantages are large.

Power and connectivity differ as well. The Arc B570 has a TDP of 150 W, uses a single 8-pin power connector, and requires a suggested 450 W PSU. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W, uses a 16-pin connector, and has no suggested PSU recorded. The Intel card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs include HDMI 2.1a and DisplayPort 2.1 on the Intel card, versus HDMI 2.1b and DisplayPort 2.1b on the NVIDIA card. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Physical dimensions place the NVIDIA card as the larger unit: 304 mm long, 137 mm tall, and 48 mm wide, versus the Intel card's 272 mm length and 115 mm height. Both are dual-slot designs.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance hierarchy. In the only shared benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER outscores the Intel Arc B570 by 57.7%, a gap large enough that no workload in the database suggests the Intel card could close it. The NVIDIA card also offers 16 GB of GDDR7 memory versus 10 GB of GDDR6, 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth versus 380.0 GB/s, and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute versus 11.52 TFLOPS.

The Intel Arc B570 is positioned in a completely different performance tier. Its average benchmark score of 20556 places it within 0.5% of rivals like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc A750, NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, and AMD Radeon R9 M390X. It is a capable card for its class, evidenced by its 65th percentile standing among all GPUs, but it does not compete with the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's class of performance.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 36th percentile ranking may look unimpressive, but that figure stems from having only one recorded benchmark. Its average score of 6270 aligns exactly with the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, which suggests the card performs at that established level in the Steel Nomad workload. The launch MSRP for the Intel card is 219 USD, and the launch MSRP for the NVIDIA card is 749 USD.

Buyers seeking maximum rendering performance in modern DX12 workloads should select the NVIDIA card based on the data. Buyers operating in the performance class represented by the Arc B570's nearest rivals will find the Intel card competitive with that group, particularly given its strong Geekbench compute scores and broad API support. The choice hinges on which performance tier matches the workload requirements.
