Intel's Arc B580 graphics cards have been its best-reviewed to date, maintaining the aggressive pricing of the old A-series Arc cards with fewer driver bugs, fewer weird performance outliers, and fewer caveats all around.

Leaning hard on the cost-effective 1440p GPU for gamers, the ARC B570 has a high bar to reach to beat out other, more established GPUs in its target demographic.

The Intel Arc B580 surprised me when it launched in December 2024 by simply providing an excellent value for a $249 graphics card, especially in an era where GPUs are getting more expensive with each generation.
