Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the Intel Arc B570 (Arc Battlemage, Entry, current generation) and the NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (RTX 4000, Mid-range, superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti), released 19 months apart. Against the RTX 4060 Ti, the Arc B570 costs $230 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $449, 51% cheaper), has 6 GB less VRAM (10 GB vs 16 GB) and draws 15W less at rated TDP (150W vs 165W).
First-generation product — no release history to base predictions on
Best for: Budget-conscious 1080p gamers who want maximum VRAM per dollar. Ideal for builds where a $219 entry point matters but VRAM headroom is still a priority.
Full details →This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti.
Superseded by RTX 5060 Ti
Best for: Budget 1440p gamers who find the 16GB variant well below $250 used — at any higher price the RTX 5060 Ti is the better choice.

2GB more VRAM than NVIDIA's RTX 5050 ($249) and RTX 5060 ($299) — the best VRAM-per-dollar in the sub-$225 GPU market.
A full 40W lower than the B580 and 20W lower than most competing NVIDIA cards at this price. No PSU upgrade needed for most systems.
Intel's second-generation AI upscaler delivers strong image quality in supported titles, with a growing catalogue of compatible games.
The 16GB model avoids the 8GB limitation that plagued the base model — still relevant for 1440p gaming.
Very low power draw — works with virtually any modern PSU.
With GDDR7, DLSS 4 and a $429 MSRP, the RTX 5060 Ti is the clear choice for new buyers — new 4060 Ti 16GB units cost around $630–$640 as of October 2026.
Released Jan 16, 2025, the Arc B570 has been on the market for 21 months. We have no previous release cycle on record for this line and no successor on our radar, so there's no projected replacement date — the timing signal stays at Caution.
Released May 24, 2023, the RTX 4060 Ti has been on the market for 3 years 5 months. It has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, which launched Apr 16, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
On timing, the Arc B570 is the only current-generation option of the two (Caution), while the RTX 4060 Ti is a clearance or used purchase.
At launch MSRP the Arc B570 is $230 cheaper than the RTX 4060 Ti ($219 vs $449, 51% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $21.9 for the Arc B570 and $28.1 for the RTX 4060 Ti — the Arc B570 gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
Arc B570 (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2026 — usually the best annual GPU deals, but analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so discounts are unlikely to reach the $219 MSRP. Only buy at or near MSRP.
RTX 4060 Ti (deals window to Jun 30, 2027, rated Wait): No clearance — scarce new 16GB units sell around $630–$640 as of October 2026, roughly 40% above the $449 MSRP. Do not buy new; only consider used units well below $200.
Next on the deals calendar: for the Arc B570, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: Intel Arc B570
Our pick is the Arc B570: it's the current-generation card here, while the RTX 4060 Ti has been superseded by the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti, and it also costs $230 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $449), draws 15W less at rated TDP (150W vs 165W) and carries a higher editor score (7.9 vs 7.3).
Go for the RTX 4060 Ti instead if you want more VRAM: 16 GB vs 10 GB, or if you want the higher-tier card: Mid-range rather than Entry.
