Between the Arc B570 and GeForce RTX 5060, the Arc B570 comes out ahead in vram and memory bus, while the GeForce RTX 5060 wins on cuda / stream cores and ray tracing cores. Overall, the Arc B570 scores 54.1 and the GeForce RTX 5060 scores 54.9 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (54.1 vs 54.9). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Arc B570 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are vram, memory bus, boost clock.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5060 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
