Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Arc B770 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D. The Arc B770 has no recorded benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no percentile ranking beyond a 50th percentile placeholder against all GPUs. The RTX 4090 D, by contrast, has three recorded benchmark results: 8,587 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 278,621 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 246,941 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its average benchmark score is 178,050, placing it in the 98th percentile of all GPUs.

Without direct comparison data, the recorded figures for the RTX 4090 D provide the only quantitative benchmark information available. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8,587 reflects a modern DirectX 12 workload. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 278,621 and Vulkan score of 246,941 show strong compute performance across both API environments. The difference between these two scores, roughly 31,680 points in favor of OpenCL, suggests the RTX 4090 D's compute architecture handles OpenCL workloads slightly more efficiently than Vulkan in Geekbench's test suite.

The nearest rivals for the RTX 4090 D further contextualize its position. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell scores 182,109 on average, which is 2.2% higher than the RTX 4090 D. The NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80 GB scores 183,725, a 3.1% margin. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation scores 184,664, 3.6% higher. The NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB leads the group at 187,147, 4.9% ahead. These deltas indicate the RTX 4090 D sits slightly below several competing workstation and datacenter cards in average benchmark terms, despite its high absolute scores.

The Arc B770's lack of benchmark data means no win can be attributed to it in this comparison. The RTX 4090 D holds all recorded performance metrics by default, as it is the only card with scores in the database. The wins tally stands at zero for the Arc B770 and zero for the RTX 4090 D in the head-to-head section, reflecting the absence of direct comparison results rather than a competitive outcome.

The Verdict

The data clearly separates these two cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D is a fully measured product with substantial benchmark results and a 98th percentile standing. The Intel Arc B770 has no recorded scores, no average, and no benchmark entries. For any builder deciding between them, the recorded data only supports the RTX 4090 D as a verified performer.

The RTX 4090 D's average benchmark score of 178,050 places it among the top 2% of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are professional and datacenter cards, not consumer gaming GPUs, which indicates the performance class it occupies. The Arc B770's 50th percentile placeholder does not reflect a measured position; it is simply a default value in the absence of test data.

Who should pick the RTX 4090 D: anyone who needs verified compute performance in OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, as shown by scores of 278,621 and 246,941 respectively. The 3DMark result of 8,587 confirms DirectX 12 capability as well. The card's 24 GB memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth, paired with 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 and 114 RT cores, make it a data-backed choice for rendering, compute, and ray-traced workloads.

Who should pick the Arc B770: the database offers no measured evidence for its performance. The card has specifications on paper, 4096 shading units, 16 GB GDDR6, and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth, but no benchmark results exist to validate real-world behavior. A builder would be selecting based on unverified capabilities rather than recorded data.

The practical verdict is straightforward: the RTX 4090 D is the only card in this comparison with proven benchmark performance. The Arc B770 remains an unknown quantity in the database, and no analysis can recommend it based on measurements that do not exist.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Arc B770 uses the Xe2-HPG architecture on the BMG-G31 chip, part of the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 368 mm². The transistor count is unknown. Its FP16 performance is double its FP32 performance, indicating a 2:1 rate that favors mixed-precision workloads.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D uses the Ada Lovelace architecture on the AD102 chip, part of the GeForce 40 series. It is also built on a 5 nm process at TSMC but with a substantially larger die at 609 mm². The transistor count is 76,300 million, and the density is 125.3M per mm². Its FP16 performance matches FP32 at a 1:1 ratio, meaning no rate advantage for half-precision work.

The RTX 4090 D integrates tensor cores, 456 of them, which the Arc B770 does not list. Ray tracing hardware also differs significantly: 114 RT cores versus 32. The RTX 4090 D supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, identical API support to the Arc B770.

Memory technology differs at the architecture level. The RTX 4090 D uses GDDR6X, a faster memory type, while the Arc B770 uses GDDR6. The RTX 4090 D's 384-bit bus versus the Arc B770's 256-bit bus is a fundamental interface difference that drives the bandwidth gap.

The RTX 4090 D's production status is end-of-life, and its successor is the GeForce 50 series. The Arc B770's production status is not recorded. Its predecessor is Alchemist, and no successor is listed.

Where Each One Wins

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D wins in every measured category. The recorded benchmark scores, while limited to three tests, all belong to this card. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8,587 confirms DirectX 12 performance. Geekbench OpenCL at 278,621 and Vulkan at 246,941 confirm compute capability in both API environments. The average of 178,050 across these tests places it in the 98th percentile of all GPUs.

The RTX 4090 D also wins on raw specification counts: 14,592 shading units, 456 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 114 RT cores, and 456 tensor cores. Its 73.54 TFLOPS FP32 is nearly four times the Arc B770's 19.66 TFLOPS. Memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s is roughly double. The 24 GB capacity exceeds 16 GB by half.

Intel Arc B770 wins on power efficiency and physical footprint. Its 225 W TDP is 200 W lower than the RTX 4090 D's 425 W. The suggested PSU of 550 W versus 800 W reflects a lower system power requirement. The dual-slot design takes less space than the triple-slot RTX 4090 D. These are qualitative advantages for builders with power or space constraints, but they come without any benchmark verification of performance.

The Arc B770 also offers DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the RTX 4090 D uses DisplayPort 1.4a. This is a connectivity advantage for newer monitors that support DisplayPort 2.1 bandwidth.

For use-case selection, the data supports the RTX 4090 D for any workload requiring proven compute throughput, ray tracing, or large memory capacity. The Arc B770 suits scenarios where lower power draw and a smaller slot footprint matter more than verified performance, but no benchmark data exists to confirm its capability in those roles. The recorded data cannot attribute any performance win to the Arc B770.
