Question 1

Is the Arc B570 10GB or the RTX 5060 8GB better for local LLMs?

Accepted Answer

The RTX 5060 8GB has about 18% more memory bandwidth (448 vs 380 GB/s). Batch-1 decode tracks bandwidth closely, so a model that fits both cards should decode roughly 18% faster on the RTX 5060 8GB. Both fit the same number of catalog models at Q4/8K (17 of 61; 10 vs 8 GB VRAM). MSRP is $219 for the Arc B570 10GB vs $299 for the RTX 5060 8GB.
