Intel Arc B580 Challenger 12GB OC Graphics Card, 2740 MHz GPU Clock, 12GB GDDR6, DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1a, Dual Fan Cooling, 0dB Silent Operation

Bought this guy to make my own steam machine. Works wonderfully on SteamOS, and beats out the Steam Machine’s performance! Driver issues? Mesa doesn’t support hdmi 2.1 on Linux yet, but it’s coming soon! Otherwise? No complaints from me! This card punches well above its weight class. It’s a no brainer if this is your price point. 1440p high settings gaming all day! As far as I can tell, there is no CEC support.

I love this GPU. It might not be the most powerful, but I haven't had any issues yet. I'll touch on a few things that others have mentioned and then try to mention a few niche uses. So far I've upgraded the firmware about 2 times (I bought mine about a month ago). I've had fantastic performance playing God of War, the Witcher, Forza Horizon 6, and Paralives ultra settings with no hiccups. I haven't used XeSS yet, but I will if I play a more demanding game, feel free to make recommendations and I'll post the results here. It looks great in my build and is compatible with everything on Windows and even Bazzite (I can't vouch for SteamOS, but I do recommend Bazzite). I have an 850 watt power supply (because it was on sale) but a 450W power supply, even with my Ryzen 7 7700x would have been adequate. It doesn't draw a lot of power, stays cool and runs quiet.

Handles higher encoder bit-rates like a RTX 3070 so sports velo training you can get a decent resolution of RPMs from ball movement and sips lower power like an RTX 3050 or 4050 so a tiny PC build is possible. Just like past Arc GPUs, eGPU doesn't work on most consumer laptops so stuck to a desktop. Sports training this is a cheaper option for studying footage from pitching or QB ball tosses. Very silent for a twin fan design. Compact to cram into a very tiny SFF mATX case if you need a mobile training or gaming rig. If you do self baseball or softball velo training, the higher bit-rate scales better on Arc than IGP Xe graphics, you'll need a bit-rate above 5000 to study velo above 95 MPH to see detailed movement vs Quicksync IGP. Overall better value, drivers are better each time and proved Intel Iris/Xe IGP could be scaled like a dGPU.

I, initially, bought this to put in a 7th gen intel machine, but without REBAR, this card doesn't represent very well. With REBAR, this card does very well. This means 10th gen Intel or higher and with options in the BIOS to enable it. I'm not an AMD person, so I can't speak to that type of build. I've had this on a 10th gen for 2 months now and it does well in BF6, which is what I got it for.

Excellent alternative to outrageous pricing of video cards. 12gb is plenty of ram for games- some driver weirdness with shading but probably will be fixed if intel keeps supporting these (I HOPE) rumors are the next gen ones of these are cancelled so not sure how long intel cards will be available- but still a better alternative to paying a grand for a video card to play AAA games.

I took a gamble on the new Intel Arc B580 "Battlemage" card, and I am absolutely floored by the performance-per-dollar here. It is safely overclocked out of the bos. ASRock has nailed the thermal design; this card runs whisper-quiet even when I’m pushing 1440p gaming to the limit. The drivers are rock solid (Intel has come such a long way!), and the AV1 encoding is a dream for streaming. It feels incredible to get this level of framerate and visual fidelity without spending a fortune. The build quality is sturdy, and it looks sleek in my case without being overly flashy.[1] This is hands down the best value GPU on the market right now. Team Blue is winning!

The performance for the price is very impressive. Easily comparable to more costly cards. ReBar will need to be activated in bios to use the full capabilities of the graphics card. It’s easily able to run my games at high or ultra high settings with ray tracing at 1080p no issues, sitting around 60°C - 65°C and peaking at 71°C. At idle and low load 50°C and below it does shut off the fans for silent use. UPDATE: Recently started gaming at 1440p. Games like Finale Fantasy XVI and Stellar Blade I am still able to play on High and Ultra settings. I recently got Expedition 33 and this card does struggle to play that game at 1440p, everything has to be set to low except anti-aliasing set to high and Xess frame gen on and 66% upscaling. I’m still impressed with the card especially coming from a 1660 super. Expedition 33 is the first game I’ve seen it struggle with but looks like I can play it at 1080p no issues at medium/high.

I have two 4k Samsung monitors, a 75" TV and a 32" curved desktop monitor. Both work great at 4k, 1440p, and 1080p with Nvidia and Amd graphics cards. So I normally run windows at 4k 120hz with VRR turned on and set my games to a resolution that works well for that game. However with the Arc b580 I was unable to get the HDMI 2.1 ports to run Windows with VRR or high refresh rates except when set to 1080p. At 4k Windows would only run 30 frames with VRR off. I could game fine at 1440p or 1080p with VRR but the limitation on the Windows desktop was too much for me so I returned the card and have gone for an more advanced solution.

An excellent GPU, FOR BOTH PRODUCTIVITY AND GAMING, Sadly after i bought i realized it's not compatible with my pc my motherboard as it's PCI3 with no rebar.

Placa maravilhosa, combinou perfeitamente no meu setup e ótimo design, entrega extremamente rápida e demonstrando ótimo desempenho, recomendo dms!

Best budget GPU at this point in time. Works great for all new games. For older games using DX11, may encounter some issues such as stuttering or lower framerate.

Perfetta in tutto

Contenu de la boîte et qualité d’emballage L’emballage était impeccable : la carte est arrivée neuve, parfaitement protégée, sans le moindre accroc. En revanche, aucune documentation n’était fournie. Comme il s’agit de ma première carte dédiée, je ne sais pas si c’est une pratique habituelle dans l’industrie, mais j’aurais apprécié un guide rapide. Qualité de fabrication et design Rien à redire sur la finition. La carte inspire confiance, avec un design sobre qui ne cherche pas à en mettre plein la vue, sans être pour autant déplaisant. Connectique et alimentation La connectique est complète, avec trois DisplayPort et un HDMI. Le HDMI a fonctionné immédiatement à la sortie de la boîte; je n’ai pas encore eu l’occasion de tester les DisplayPort. Côté alimentation, un seul branchement ne suffit pas : il faut ajouter un câble PCIe supplémentaire pour garantir une puissance stable, ce qui est bon à savoir avant l’installation. Logiciels, pilotes, compatibilité Sous Windows 11, les pilotes Intel se sont montrés stables et je n’ai rencontré aucun souci sur les jeux testés (CoD: Warzone, Space Marine II). Je n’ai pas encore exploré en profondeur Intel Arc Control. La carte fonctionne couplée à une carte mère Gigabyte sans le moindre problème de compatibilité. Performances en jeu Le XeSS fonctionne un peu comme le FSR : ce n’est pas au niveau du DLSS de Nvidia, mais c’est utile quand on pousse les textures en Ultra pour grappiller quelques FPS. En 1080p avec les réglages au maximum sur Space Marine II, je tourne en moyenne entre 70 et 75 FPS, ce qui est très confortable. Rapport qualité‑prix C’est clairement le point fort de la B580. Achetée en promotion à 270 €, elle offre un excellent équilibre entre performances et prix. Les 12 Go de VRAM sont rassurants pour la durée de vie du produit, surtout quand on voit certaines cartes concurrentes, plus chères, se contenter de 8 Go. Note Je lui attribue 5/5. C’est la carte graphique que je conseille en 2025, aussi bien pour monter une nouvelle configuration que pour mettre à niveau un PC existant.
