Intel HD Graphics 530 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Intel HD Graphics 530

The Intel HD Graphics 530 (GT2) is an integrated graphics unit, which can be found in various desktop and notebook processors of the Skylake generation. The "GT2" version of the Skylake GPU offers 24 Execution Units (EUs) clocked at up to 1150 MHz (depending on the CPU model). Due to its lack of dedicated graphics memory or eDRAM cache, the HD 530 has to access the main memory (2x 64bit DDR3L-1600 / DDR4-2133).

Performance

The exact performance of the HD Graphics 530 depends on various factors like TDP, L3 Cache, memory (DDR3/DDR4) and maximum clock rate of the specific model. The fastest desktop versions (Core i7-6700K) can compete with a dedicated GeForce 920M and will handle modern games (as of 2015) in low or medium settings.

Features

The revised video engine now decodes H.265/HEVC completely in hardware and thereby much more efficiently than before. Displays can be connected via DP 1.2 / eDP 1.3 (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz), whereas HDMI is limited to the older version 1.4a (max. 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz). However, HDMI 2.0 can be added using a DisplayPort converter. Up to three displays can be controlled simultaneously.

Power Consumption

The HD Graphics 530 can be found in several notebook and desktop processors of different TDP classes (35 - 91 W).

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is a fast desktop GPU of the Ampere generation. It uses the GA104 chip with 6,144 cores and 8 GB GDDR6 dedicated graphics memory. 

The performance in demanding games is ideal for QHD (2560x1440) and highest settings (e.g. A Plague Tale Requiem reaches 50fps in our benchmarks, see below). 

The RTX3070Ti is rated at a TGP of 290 Watt.
