Intel UHD Graphics P630 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Comparison

# Intel UHD Graphics P630 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB

The two GPUs in this comparison occupy opposite ends of the hardware spectrum. The Intel UHD Graphics P630 is an integrated processor graphics solution built into Comet Lake CPUs, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is a discrete, dual-slot add-in card from the GeForce 50-series. The raw performance gap is enormous across most measurable metrics, yet the data reveals some unexpected wrinkles in benchmark averages and percentile rankings that merit closer examination.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel UHD Graphics P630 delivers an average benchmark score of 5370 across its two recorded tests: 5111 in Geekbench OpenCL and 5628 in Geekbench Vulkan. The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB, by contrast, posts an average benchmark score of 4970 — lower than the Intel part on the aggregate metric. This is a startling inversion of expectations, driven entirely by the composition of benchmark suites. The RTX 5060 Ti's scores include PassMark DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12 tests ranging from 89 to 238, plus a PassMark G2D score of 1206, all of which drag down its average. Its strongest results are 22618 in PassMark G3D and 11224 in PassMark GPU Compute, plus 4019 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The RTX 5060 Ti's FP32 compute throughput is 23.70 TFLOPS, which is roughly 51 times the Intel part's 460.8 GFLOPS. Texture rate tells a similar story: the NVIDIA card achieves 370.4 GTexel/s versus 28.80 GTexel/s for the Intel iGPU, a multiplier of about 12.9x. Pixel rate favors the RTX 5060 Ti even more dramatically at 123.5 GPixel/s versus 3.600 GPixel/s — a 34.3x difference. In shading units, the RTX 5060 Ti has 4608 versus 192, which is 24x more. TMUs number 144 versus 24 (6x), and ROPs stand at 48 versus 3 (16x).

The percentile rankings are counterintuitive: the RTX 5060 Ti sits at percentile 29 among all GPUs, while the Intel UHD Graphics P630 ranks at percentile 31. This means the integrated part actually places higher in the overall distribution, despite its far lower absolute performance in most tests. The nearest rivals for the Intel part — AMD Radeon R7 M445, AMD Radeon R7 M365X, NVIDIA GeForce 840M, and NVIDIA GeForce 930A — all score within 5358 to 5416, a tight band around the Intel's 5370. The RTX 5060 Ti's nearest rivals — NVIDIA Quadro 4000, AMD Radeon R7 Graphics, AMD Radeon R7 M360, and AMD Radeon R7 M265 — score between 4929 and 4998, all slightly below the RTX card's 4970 average.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two parts is generational and fundamental. Intel's UHD Graphics P630 uses the Comet Lake GT2 chip based on Generation 9.5 architecture, manufactured on Intel's 14 nm+++ process node. The RTX 5060 Ti uses the GB206 chip based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built by TSMC on a 5 nm process. The transistor counts reflect this: the RTX 5060 Ti packs 21,900 million transistors into a 181 mm² die, yielding a density of 121.0 million transistors per square millimeter. The Intel part lists no transistor count or die size in the data.

The memory subsystems could hardly be more different. The Intel iGPU uses system shared memory with a system-dependent bus width and system-dependent bandwidth — it has no dedicated VRAM. The RTX 5060 Ti comes with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part's memory clock is listed as "System Shared" with no dedicated frequency, while the NVIDIA card runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective data rate.

Feature sets diverge sharply. The RTX 5060 Ti includes 36 ray tracing cores and 144 tensor cores, both entirely absent from the Intel UHD Graphics P630. The Intel part has no RT or tensor hardware at all. Shader capabilities differ as well: the Intel GPU supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The RTX 5060 Ti supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card's FP16 throughput matches its FP32 at 23.70 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), whereas the Intel part achieves only 921.6 GFLOPS FP16 via a 2:1 ratio — half of its FP32 rate.

Power and physical specifications underscore the gap. The Intel UHD Graphics P630 is an IGP with a 15 W TDP and no power connectors, integrated onto the motherboard. The RTX 5060 Ti is a dual-slot card measuring 241 mm by 111 mm by 40 mm, with a 180 W TDP, requiring a single 8-pin power connector and a suggested 450 W PSU. The bus interfaces differ: the Intel part uses a Ring Bus, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x8.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB wins decisively in every performance metric that matters for modern gaming and compute. Its 23.70 TFLOPS FP32 is more than 51x the Intel part's 460.8 GFLOPS. It offers 16 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory versus the Intel's shared system memory, 36 RT cores for ray tracing, and 144 tensor cores for AI workloads. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4, enabling the latest graphics features, and its 370.4 GTexel/s texture rate and 123.5 GPixel/s pixel rate make it suitable for high-resolution, high-detail rendering. The 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is a fundamental advantage for texture streaming and large data sets.

The Intel UHD Graphics P630's wins are narrower. It holds a higher percentile ranking (31 versus 29) and a higher average benchmark score (5370 versus 4970) due to the particular tests included. Its 15 W TDP makes it suitable for systems without a discrete GPU, and its integrated nature requires no power connectors or PSU upgrade. The Intel part also has a shorter physical footprint as an IGP, with no length, height, or width constraints listed. In terms of production status, the Intel part is end-of-life, while the RTX 5060 Ti is active and current.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split. The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB is the choice for anyone needing dedicated graphics performance — gamers, 3D content creators, or compute users who can leverage its 4608 shading units, 36 RT cores, and 144 tensor cores. Its 16 GB GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth provide a foundation for memory-intensive workloads, and its active production status means ongoing driver support. The 429 USD launch MSRP positions it as a mid-range discrete card, though the data does not speak to value.

The Intel UHD Graphics P630 serves a completely different purpose. As an IGP with a 15 W TDP, it is appropriate for basic display output and light compute tasks in systems without a discrete GPU. Its higher percentile ranking and average benchmark score are artifacts of benchmark selection, not evidence of real-world superiority. The end-of-life status and 2020 release date indicate it is a legacy part.

The choice depends entirely on the use case. For any application requiring substantial graphics throughput, the RTX 5060 Ti wins by every meaningful measure. For low-power integrated graphics in an existing system, the Intel part is the only option of the two that fits that role. The data does not support any scenario where the Intel UHD Graphics P630 outperforms the RTX 5060 Ti in demanding workloads — the performance deltas are simply too large across every architectural metric.
