Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB. Instead, the database provides separate benchmark suites for each product, which must be compared indirectly through their average scores and relative standings.

The Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 has a single recorded benchmark: a Geekbench OpenCL score of 5712. This places it in the 33rd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670MX with an average score of 5721, which is 0.1% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti at 5731, which is 0.3% higher. On the other side, the AMD Radeon HD 8790M scores 5691, which is 0.4% lower, while the NVIDIA Quadro M500M trails by 1.9% with a score of 5604. The Intel part sits comfortably in the middle of this cluster, with deltas under 2% in either direction. This suggests that in OpenCL compute workloads, the Iris Pro P6300 performs at a level comparable to those older discrete mobile and desktop graphics cards.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, by contrast, has a much broader benchmark profile. Its strongest result comes from the Passmark G3D test, where it scores 22618. In Passmark DirectX 9, it records 238, while DirectX 11 yields 219, and DirectX 10 produces 144. The DirectX 12 score drops to 89. Its Passmark GPU compute score is 11224, and the G2D score is 1206. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test returns a score of 4019. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 4970, which places the card in the 29th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with an average score of 4979 (0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics at 4998 (0.6% higher), and the AMD Radeon R7 M360 and R7 M265, both scoring 4931 and 4929 respectively, which are 0.8% lower.

The average scores tell a stark story. The Intel Iris Pro P6300 averages 5712, while the RTX 5060 Ti averages 4970. That is a 14.9% higher average for the Intel product, which is counterintuitive given the vast architectural gap between the two. However, this disparity stems from the different benchmark suites applied to each product. The Intel part's single OpenCL score is not directly comparable to the RTX 5060 Ti's mixed suite of DirectX and compute tests. The RTX 5060 Ti's Passmark G3D score of 22618 dwarfs the Intel's 5712, but the average pulls downward due to the low DirectX scores, which are likely measured under different driver states or workload conditions. The data does not support a direct apples-to-apples comparison, but it does show that the two products occupy entirely different performance tiers in raw rasterization and compute throughput.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 wins in the narrow category of its recorded benchmark suite. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 5712 exceeds the RTX 5060 Ti's average of 4970 by a significant margin. For users running OpenCL compute workloads similar to the Geekbench test, the Intel integrated solution demonstrates respectable throughput for a 2014-era part. The data also places it in the 33rd percentile, which is higher than the RTX 5060 Ti's 29th percentile, indicating that on average, the Intel part outperforms a larger share of the database's GPU population.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB wins decisively in every modern graphics workload recorded. Its Passmark G3D score of 22618 is roughly four times the Intel's entire OpenCL score. The DirectX 9, 10, and 11 results (238, 144, and 219) are all far beyond the Intel's capabilities, though the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (11_1), so neither product can run the full DirectX 12 Ultimate feature set. The RTX 5060 Ti's GPU compute score of 11224 is nearly double the Intel's OpenCL result. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 4019, a test the Intel integrated GPU likely cannot run at playable settings. The RTX 5060 Ti also has a dedicated Passmark G2D score of 1206, which reflects its superior display output and 2D acceleration capabilities.

For gaming and 3D rendering, the RTX 5060 Ti is the clear victor. For pure OpenCL compute on legacy systems, the Intel part holds a marginal edge based on the recorded averages. The data shows no scenario where the RTX 5060 Ti loses in a modern graphics workload, while the Intel part only wins in the single OpenCL test that happens to be its only recorded benchmark.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 is built on the Broadwell GT3e chip using Intel's Generation 8.0 architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process at Intel's own foundry. It belongs to the HD Graphics-W (Broadwell) generation and integrates 384 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 6 render output units. Its base clock is 300 MHz with a boost clock of 800 MHz. The memory subsystem is entirely system-shared, with no dedicated VRAM, and memory bandwidth is system dependent. The pixel rate is 4.800 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 38.40 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is rated at 614.4 GFLOPS. The TDP is 15 W, making it an integrated graphics processor with a Ring Bus interface.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB uses the GB206 chip, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, and is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.0M per mm². The GPU has 4608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units. It also includes 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores, features completely absent from the Intel part. The base clock is 2407 MHz with a boost clock of 2572 MHz. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The pixel rate is 123.5 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 370.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute reaches 23.70 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 23.70 TFLOPS, indicating a 1:1 ratio. The TDP is 180 W, requiring a dual-slot cooler and a single 8-pin power connector, with a suggested power supply of 450 W. The bus interface is PCIe 5.0 x8.

The architectural gap is enormous. The RTX 5060 Ti has 12 times the shading units, 3 times the TMUs, 8 times the ROPs, and a 38.6 times higher FP32 throughput. It supports ray tracing and tensor operations, direct hardware features the Intel part lacks entirely. The process node difference, 14 nm versus 5 nm, accounts for the massive transistor count difference despite the RTX 5060 Ti's smaller die. The Intel part relies on shared system memory, while the RTX 5060 Ti has dedicated GDDR7 with a fixed 128-bit bus and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. The API support also differs: the Intel part supports DirectX 12 (11_1), OpenGL 4.4, and Vulkan 1.0, while the RTX 5060 Ti supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The data presents two GPUs from opposite ends of the hardware spectrum. The Intel Iris Pro Graphics P6300 is an integrated solution from 2014, designed for low-power systems with a 15 W TDP. Its single OpenCL score of 5712 and 33rd percentile ranking show it holds its own against older discrete cards like the GTX 670MX and GTX 550 Ti, but it lacks dedicated memory, ray tracing, and modern API support.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is a modern discrete graphics card with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, 4608 shading units, 36 ray tracing cores, and 144 tensor cores. Its Passmark G3D score of 22618 indicates massive raw graphics throughput, and its 23.70 TFLOPS FP32 performance is orders of magnitude beyond the Intel part. The 29th percentile ranking and average score of 4970, however, reflect the mixed benchmark suite applied to it, which includes lower DirectX scores that drag down the average.

For users seeking a dedicated gaming or 3D rendering card, the RTX 5060 Ti is the only viable choice, given its 16 GB VRAM, 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4. For those maintaining a legacy system with the Broadwell integrated GPU, the Iris Pro P6300 offers competent OpenCL compute for its era, but it cannot handle modern workloads. The verdict is clear: the RTX 5060 Ti dominates in every modern graphics metric, while the Intel part only wins in the narrow OpenCL average comparison. Users should pick the RTX 5060 Ti for any current or future workload, and the Intel Iris Pro only if the system requires its 15 W integrated form factor.
