Intel UHD Graphics 770 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
Intel UHD Graphics 770
► remove from comparison
The UHD Graphics 770 is an integrated graphics card (IGP, GT1) in Alder Lake and Raptor Lake SoCs that offers 32 execution units (EUs) and a clock speed of up to 1.65 GHz (depending on the CPU model).
The performance depends on the CPU model it is integrated in and the used memory. The gaming performance is even on fast models only suited for low demanding games in 720p and low detail settings. Higher demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Dying Light 2 (see benchmarks below) did not run well in our tests.
The GPU supports up to 4 displays with eDP 1.4b (5k120), DisplayPort 1.4a (8k60) and HDMI 2.1 (4k60).
The Alder Lake SoCs are manufactured in the "Intel 7" named process (enhanced 10nm at Intel).
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
► remove from comparison
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 is a desktop graphics card of the upper middle class. It is based on the GM206 Maxwell chip that is produced in 28nm. The GTX960 offers 1024 shader cores, 64 TMUs and 32 ROPs (no deactivated units of the chip). The graphics memory is usually 2 or 4 GB GDDR5 (7 GHz effective clock) connected with a 128 Bit interface.
On average the gaming performance is on a level with the AMD Radeon R9 280 and R9 285. Compared to laptop graphics cards, the 960 is slightly faster than a mobile Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M. The 970M offers more shader cores, but at a lower clock speed. The similar named GeForce GTX 960M for notebooks offers only 640 shader cores and a slightly lower core clock. The performance of the GTX 960 should be suffice for most games in full HD resolution. In our benchmarks only GTA 5 and The Witcher 3 achieved below 30 fps on average (see below for detailed benchmarks).
The GM206 supports CUDA, 3D Vision, PhysX, GeForce Experience, Surround, GameStream, GPU Boost 2.0, Adaptive Vertical Sync / G-SYNC, SLI, DSR, MFAA and Virtual Reality latency improvements. The GTX 960 also includes a H.265 capable de- and encoder as a first.
The power consumption of the GTX 960 on the desktop without load is around 10 Watt and on a similar level to the AMD counterparts. During gaming the 960 reaches around 85-100 Watt (depending on the model) which is a lot less than e.g. the Radeon R9 285 (around 170 Watt) - source tomshardware.com
