Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc B770 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. The database lists a full benchmark suite for the RTX 4060, but the Arc B770 has no entries in the benchmark array, no average score, and no nearest rivals. This absence of comparative measurements means a direct score-based comparison cannot be constructed from the available facts.

What can be stated is the RTX 4060's own recorded performance profile. It posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 48643. Its Passmark results include a G3D score of 19545, a GPU Compute score of 9213, and legacy DirectX scores of 236 (DX9), 175 (DX11), 103 (DX10), and 76 (DX12). The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 17639, placing it at the 61st percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The RTX 4060's nearest rivals in the database are all AMD parts. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 sits 0.2% below with an average score of 17666, the AMD Radeon 780M is 0.3% behind at 17588, the AMD Radeon Pro 560 trails by 0.5% at 17551, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 is 0.7% lower at 17509. These narrow margins indicate the RTX 4060 sits in a tightly packed performance cluster. Without equivalent benchmark data for the Arc B770, no win/loss tally can be assigned, and no percentage advantage can be computed between the two cards.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge substantially at the architectural level. The Intel Arc B770 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, specifically the BMG-G31 chip, and belongs to the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 uses the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip and belongs to the GeForce 40 series. Both are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process, so the manufacturing node is identical.

Die size and transistor counts tell a different story. The Arc B770 has a die size of 368 mm², while the RTX 4060 measures 159 mm². The transistor count for the Arc B770 is listed as unknown, whereas the RTX 4060 carries 18,900 million transistors with a density of 118.9 million per mm². The Arc B770's substantially larger die suggests a much more expansive chip layout, but without a transistor figure, density comparisons are not possible.

The execution resources differ sharply. The Arc B770 has 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 128 ROPs. The RTX 4060 has 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the Arc B770 has 32 RT cores, while the RTX 4060 has 24. The RTX 4060 includes 96 tensor cores, while the Arc B770 has no tensor core count listed at all.

Clock behavior shows a mixed pattern. The Arc B770 has a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. The RTX 4060 starts lower at 1830 MHz base but boosts higher to 2460 MHz. The memory clocks are listed separately: the Arc B770 runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective, while the RTX 4060 runs at 2125 MHz with 17 Gbps effective.

The memory subsystem is a major differentiator. The Arc B770 carries 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 272.0 GB/s. That gives the Arc B770 exactly double the memory capacity, double the bus width, and roughly 88% more bandwidth. The RTX 4060's higher memory clock does not offset its narrower bus.

Theoretical throughput rates follow the resource counts. The Arc B770 posts a pixel rate of 307.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 614.4 GTexel/s. The RTX 4060 posts 118.1 GPixel/s and 236.2 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 19.66 TFLOPS for the Arc B770 versus 15.11 TFLOPS for the RTX 4060. FP16 performance diverges completely: the Arc B770 reaches 39.32 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, while the RTX 4060 delivers 15.11 TFLOPS at 1:1, meaning it offers no FP16 advantage over its FP32 rate.

Power and interface specifications also differ. The Arc B770 has a TDP of 225 W and requires a 550 W suggested power supply, using one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector. The RTX 4060 has a TDP of 115 W, a 300 W suggested power supply, and a single 12-pin connector. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 for the Arc B770 versus PCIe 4.0 x8 for the RTX 4060. Display outputs differ as well: the Arc B770 offers one HDMI 2.1a and three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the RTX 4060 offers one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc B770 holds advantages in raw compute capacity, memory capacity, and memory bandwidth. Its 16 GB frame buffer is twice the RTX 4060's 8 GB, and its 512.0 GB/s bandwidth is nearly double the RTX 4060's 272.0 GB/s. For workloads that scale with memory volume or bandwidth, such as large texture sets or high-resolution rendering, the recorded data favors the Arc B770. Its 4096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs all exceed the RTX 4060's corresponding counts. The FP32 throughput of 19.66 TFLOPS is 30% higher than the RTX 4060's 15.11 TFLOPS, and the FP16 rate of 39.32 TFLOPS more than doubles the RTX 4060's 15.11 TFLOPS.

The RTX 4060 holds advantages in power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 115 W TDP is roughly half the Arc B770's 225 W, and its suggested power supply is 300 W versus 550 W. The RTX 4060 also has a higher boost clock at 2460 MHz versus 2400 MHz. Its tensor cores, 96 of them, provide dedicated hardware that the Arc B770 does not list. The RTX 4060 is described as end-of-life, while the Arc B770's production status is not recorded.

The RTX 4060's recorded benchmark scores show it performs competitively within its own class. Its 61st percentile standing and average score of 17639 place it slightly above several AMD parts in the database. The Arc B770 has no recorded benchmark scores, so its real-world standing in the database cannot be quantified.

The Verdict

The data supports a split decision based on priorities. The Arc B770 is the stronger card on paper for compute-heavy and memory-intensive tasks. Its 16 GB frame buffer, 512.0 GB/s bandwidth, 4096 shading units, and 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 throughput all exceed the RTX 4060's corresponding figures. Its FP16 rate of 39.32 TFLOPS is more than double the RTX 4060's 15.11 TFLOPS, which matters for workloads that can use reduced precision. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and newer DisplayPort 2.1 outputs also favor the Arc B770.

The RTX 4060 is the more efficient option. Its 115 W TDP and 300 W suggested power supply are roughly half the Arc B770's requirements. It has a higher boost clock, dedicated tensor cores, and a smaller die. Its recorded benchmark scores place it at the 61st percentile with an average score of 17639, and its nearest rivals trail by less than 1%.

However, the absence of any benchmark data for the Arc B770 means its real-world performance cannot be validated against the RTX 4060. The RTX 4060 has a complete measured profile; the Arc B770 has none. Buyers who rely on verified database scores can only confirm the RTX 4060's standing. Those who prioritize the Arc B770's larger memory pool and higher theoretical throughput must accept that no measured confirmation exists in the database.
