Intel UHD Graphics 770 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
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 970
► remove from comparison
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 is a high end desktop graphics card based on the Maxwell architecture. As the faster GTX 980, the GTX 970 uses the GM204 chip, but with reduced shaders (2048 vs. 1664) and TMUs (128 vs 103). The graphics card is equipped with 4 GB GDDR5 (7 GHz effective). 3.5 GB of the 4 GB are connected with 224 Bit, the rest only with a 32 Bit interface. This can lead to some stuttering or reduced frame rates in games that use the full 4 GB. The similar named mobile GeForce GTX 970M is clearly slower as it features only 1280 shader cores.
Despite the unique memory configuration, the GTX 970 performs on average on par with the older GeForce GTX 780 Ti or a AMD Radeon R9 290X.
The GM204 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 Maxwell architecture is very power efficient. While gaming, the card only uses as much power as the Radeon R9 285 which is more than 35% slower on average.
