Intel Arc B770 vs NVIDIA RTX 6000D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Arc B770 and the NVIDIA RTX 6000D. The RTX 6000D has recorded measurements in two specific tests, while the Arc B770 has no benchmark entries in the database. This means a direct score comparison is impossible from the recorded data.

What the data does show is where each card sits in the broader performance hierarchy. The RTX 6000D holds a 98th percentile ranking across all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 195,964. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla V100S PCIe 32 GB, scores 194,415, a 0.8% lower result. The RTX 6000D outperforms the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB by 4.7% (187,147) and the NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation by 6.1% (184,664). The only rival ahead of it is the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80 GB, which scores 207,124, putting the RTX 6000D 5.4% behind.

The RTX 6000D delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,522 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 388,405. These are the only recorded performance data points for either product.

The Arc B770 sits at the 50th percentile across all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of zero, meaning the database holds no completed measurements for it. Its performance relative to the RTX 6000D cannot be quantified from recorded data. The absence of benchmarks for the Arc B770 leaves its standing against the RTX 6000D undefined in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge fundamentally at the architecture level. The Intel Arc B770 uses the BMG-G31 chip built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, part of the Battlemage (Arc 7) generation. The NVIDIA RTX 6000D uses the GB202 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, from the Blackwell PRO W (x000) generation.

Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The RTX 6000D die measures 750 mm² and contains 92,200 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 122.9 million per square millimeter. The Arc B770 die is 368 mm², with transistor count listed as unknown in the database. The Arc B770 predecessor is Alchemist, while the RTX 6000D predecessor is Workstation Ada.

The RTX 6000D carries 19,968 shading units, 624 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units. It has 156 ray tracing cores and 624 tensor cores. The Arc B770 has 4,096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, with 32 ray tracing cores and no tensor core count recorded.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The RTX 6000D uses 84 GB of GDDR7 on a 448-bit bus, delivering 1.40 TB/s of bandwidth. Memory clock runs at 1560 MHz with 25 Gbps effective speed. The Arc B770 uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing 512.0 GB/s. Its memory clock is 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed.

Clock speeds are close between the two. The Arc B770 has a 2100 MHz base clock and 2400 MHz boost. The RTX 6000D runs a 1992 MHz base and 2430 MHz boost. The Arc B770 starts slightly higher but both boost to similar levels.

Compute throughput shows the scale of difference. The RTX 6000D reaches 97.04 TFLOPS FP32 and 97.04 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio. The Arc B770 delivers 19.66 TFLOPS FP32 and 39.32 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio. Pixel rate on the RTX 6000D is 466.6 GPixel/s versus 307.2 GPixel/s on the Arc B770. Texture rate is 1,516.3 GTexel/s versus 614.4 GTexel/s.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The feature sets are nominally aligned on API support, but the underlying hardware capabilities diverge heavily.

Power requirements reflect the performance gap. The RTX 6000D is rated at 600 W TDP with a single 16-pin power connector and a suggested 1000 W PSU. The Arc B770 draws 225 W TDP, uses a 6-pin plus 8-pin connector setup, and suggests a 550 W PSU. Both are dual-slot cards.

The RTX 6000D uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Arc B770 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ as well: the RTX 6000D has four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, and the Arc B770 has one HDMI 2.1a plus three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs.

Physical dimensions are recorded only for the RTX 6000D: 304 mm length, 137 mm height, and 40 mm width.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the NVIDIA RTX 6000D is the clear performance leader in absolute terms. Its 98th percentile ranking, 97.04 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 84 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 1.40 TB/s bandwidth place it in an entirely different performance class than the Arc B770. The RTX 6000D also has a substantial lead in shading units (19,968 versus 4,096), ray tracing cores (156 versus 32), and tensor cores (624 versus none recorded).

The Arc B770 offers a lower power envelope at 225 W versus 600 W, a smaller die at 368 mm² versus 750 mm², and a lower suggested PSU at 550 W versus 1000 W. It also uses a more common 6-pin plus 8-pin power configuration rather than a single 16-pin connector.

For users requiring maximum compute throughput, extensive memory capacity, and professional-grade performance, the RTX 6000D is the data-supported choice. For users prioritizing lower power draw, smaller die size, and simpler power requirements, the Arc B770 presents a lighter configuration, though its performance cannot be quantified from the database.

The RTX 6000D launched with a recorded release date of July 2025 and an active production status. The Arc B770 has a release date of December 2025 with no production status recorded. The RTX 6000D launch MSRP is 8,565 USD.
