Intel UHD Graphics 770 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

Intel UHD Graphics 770

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 RTX 4070

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 is a high-end desktop graphics card based on the AD104 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture. The 4070 offers 5,888 cores and 12 GB GDDR6X graphics memory with a 192 bit memory bus and clocked at 21 Gbits. The card offers a good raytracing performance thanks to the 46 dedicated raytracing cores. For AI calculations (and DLSS 3 in games), the RTX 4070 has 184 Tensor cores.

The gaming performance is well suited for 2k/QHD gaming in most demanding games, and should be able to handle 4k gaming for lesser demanding games (or with reduced settings / DLSS activated). The raw gaming performance is comparable to an older RTX 3080 or a AMD Radeon 6800 XT. Compared to the similar named mobile GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, the desktop variant is much faster.

The AD104 chip is manufactured in the modern 5nm process at TSMC (4N with EUV) and specified with a TGP (Total Graphics Power) of 200 Watt (compared to the 450 Watt of the RTX 4090).
