Intel's $249 Arc B580 is the GPU we've begged for since the pandemic

Powered by the new Xe2 "Battlemage" architecture and a new XeSS 2 frame generation feature, Intel's $249 Arc B580 is FINALLY bringing 1440p gaming to the masses.

If even half of Intel’s claims are true, this could be a big shake up in the midrange market that has been entirely abandoned by both Nvidia and AMD.

    If their claims are true, I’d say this is a decent upgrade from my RX 6600 XT and I’m very likely buying one.

      Sounds like a ~10% upgrade, but I’d definitely wait for independent reviews because that could be optimistic. It’s certainly priced about even with the 6600 XT.

      But honestly, if you can afford an extra $100 or so, you’d be better off getting a 6800 XT. It has more VRAM and quite a bit better performance, so it should last you a bit longer.
