- Rumors allude to the Intel Arc B770 to reveal to Computex it can
- Nvidia should launch its RTX 5060 GPU on May 19 near Computex
- Arc B770 is sentenced to 16 GB of VRAM, compared to the 8 GB of RTX 5060
Although there was no official NVIDIA confirmation, all signs indicate a launch of May 19 for its new RTX 5060 GPU. However, it may not be a fluid navigation launch for Team Green, because AMD and, more importantly, Intel have strong competition on the horizon.
According to the Japanese media Gazelog, the Intel ARC B770 GPU should be unveiled on Computex, around the launch date of NVIDIA RTX 5060. It should be a more powerful average GPU compared to Arc B570 and B580 counterparts, with 16 GB of VRAM and a 256 -bit memory bus.
This comes alongside AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT, which is at least rumors that would have been revealed around Computex and its RTX Rivals RTX 5060 launch. Team Green has much more to fear now, in particular with the controversy surrounding the 8 GB VRUM configuration of the new GPU.
With the RX 9060 XD of AMD and the launch of the Intel Arc B770 with 16 GB of VRAM (note that the AMD GPU will also have a variant of 8 GB), it could simply leave the NVIDIA RTX 5060 in a more difficult place than before.
There is no clarification on the fact that the B770 will include 16 GB GDDR6 or GDDR7 VRAM, but a previous rumor reported by WCCFTECH suggests that the Blue team could work to use the GDDR7 memory fleas for new generation GPUs – and this could be the first range of “Celestial”, but there is also a risk that the arc B770 could first be able to see this change.
If this is legitimate, Intel deserves praise for the abandonment of 8 GB GPUs entirely
It is already clear that Intel is aware of the 8 GB GPUs and the negative consensus that surrounds them; Its A770 GPU had the 16 GB and 8 GB variants, and it is sure to say that the latter does not cut it for Triple-A games today (unless you constantly appreciate the graphic settings).
Fortunately, its most recent B570 and B580 have VRAM configurations of 10 GB and 12 GB, respectively – and it seems that Team Blue deletes with 8 GB with the B770 Rumor for 16 GB instead (not surprising, if it is indeed a more powerful GPU).
In addition to the tracing capacities of the rays, DLSS 4, the multi-trame generation and GDDR7 true, I would say that the B770 arc (based on rumors) looks like the most attractive graphics card on the generation of RTX 5060 frame.
I hope that Team Blue’s efforts with this 16 GB GPU are well received by consumers, because it could be a way for Nvidia and AMD to finally abandon the 8 GB’s VRAM capacities for future GPUs.
