Finally arrived. Did the free ground shipping. Traded in an old RTX 2060 for $104 credit.

$146 purchase price (plus tax) and included the new Assassin’s Creed game and 6 months Ubisoft+. Unreal deal.

Excited to check out an Intel dGPU.

So I upgraded to the B580 and my current CPU is a Ryzen 9 3900x. I’ve only got 16gb ram so upgrading that to 64. I’m getting a 2 terabyte SSD for storage. At this point what’s a good CPU upgrade? I play at 1440P and was thinking about getting a 5700x3d cause they only 200$

specifically high/ultra

Hi everyone! Well in Canada, the B580 are between 360$ to 400$ before taxes, while many 4060 are now discounted in the 380 to 400$ range, making it the same exact price. Availability of the 4060 is of course much easier as well.

What would you do ? Should I still wait until I can get a B580 ?

Some gaming at 1080p. Looking forward to play Baldur's gate 3.

I decided I couldn't wait any longer and got the B580 Sparkle for£280. I'm putting my A750 in another computer for Christmas.

Not had much time with it yet but 3D Mark wouldn't run for some reason but I did try Forza 5 at 4k and Extreme with XeSs set to qualify for Lols. I got 59fps in the benchmark, which seems good considering it's not meant for 4k.

I'm rig is a 14500 and 64GB ram. So hardly a powerhouse but not a slouch either.

What should I play next?

This drivers are only for battleimage right? Cause the versión of alchemist is the same to the last whql drivers

I want to upgrade my computer, and after watching several reviews and comparisons of the B580 with the RTX 4060, I’ve been convinced to go with this card, but its availability is problematic. I’m considering purchasing the limited edition or the three-fan Sparkle Titan OC edition. I also saw in the reviews that the B580 overclocks well. Should I go for the Intel version and overclock it myself, or would the Sparkle OC be enough? Will I be able to change the OC on the Sparkle by myself?

I pre-ordered the Steel legend b580. The in stock date is 12/26/24

Just saw there's a new update today not sure if it really changes anything. Just installing it now for my B580

How do you think these compare? Would it be worth upgrading from a 2070s

Decided not to purchase it so I’m happy to have one of you guys get it. It’s the ASRock Steel legend sku 787630. Must pick up today before closing, otherwise the order is automatically cancelled.

Dm me and I’ll send online reservation number. I’ll edit or remove this post when it’s no longer available.

Edit: no longer available

Hello all, I was recently able to upgrade the rest of my pc except for my gpu. I’m still running a base gtx 1080 and I want to get the PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but it requires a raytracing card. The rest of my components are way better than the recommended specs. I was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to the B580 in this case? Thank you! :)

The ETA date on the Acer card on Newegg shows today. People who really want to buy it - pay attention and make sure to register for Auto-Notify!

Also pay attention that it costs $280 PLUS shipping $10.53 PLUS taxes. That makes it the most expensive card except for those made by GUNNIR

(Keep in mind that it is not guaranteed that ETA is 100% correct and it opens for orders today)

Is it worth going from my 1660 super to a b580 cause I just still feel unsure about switching and weather or not it is worth it. Please lmk guys

As per the specs (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241598/intel-arc-b580-graphics/specifications.html), the B580 is PCIe 4.0 with 8 lanes

Therefore, plugged in a PCIe 3.0 x16, it will run at PCIe 3.0x8 speed since it can use only 8 lanes

Just FYI, don't expect it will run at 3.0 x16 without performance degradation, it can only use 8 lanes.

Hi all,

I am thinking about selling my A770 LE incl the box. I am curious what price I might be able to ask for it (living in Germany).

Any idea what a realistic pricing could look like?

Thanks!

So i just installed graphics drivers and I got a pretty disapointing Performance from the B580.
I noticed in Furmark it only draws around 55w instead of the 190w. I dont know why and I need help!

Hey all, an hour ago, I thought to myself, hey, let's no longer ignore the update notification. So I ran the installer with a clean install and all boxes ticked. I already wondered at that point, that there was no mentioning of the Arc Control, but I waved that as a simple oddness.

So here I am, just realising, that the update has fully removed one of the software features I depend on daily.

I immediately pulled up the windows recovery mode to roll back that update. Why would they remove the virtual webcam? I rather sacrifice some few fps or energy or whatever the improvement would be for that feature.

Would it be a good upgrade from a 3060 ti dual mini,to the b580?

I've got an i7-9700k CPU and an ASUS Prime Z390-A motherboard. Will the Intel Arc B580 work with my setup? Are there any limitations or drawbacks if I upgrade to this GPU?

anyone see anything wrong with this current build im going for as an upgrade? Not expecting 4k gaming or anything crazy just want to get some viable FPS in the russian developed game Escape From Tarkov (lol), any input greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I hope someone can spare time, I need some advice or suggestions. I ended up getting the Intel Arc A530M version way back around early May or June this year because I was busy and needed a laptop urgently, without much research. At the time, I found that the A530M seemed like a better choice than the RTX 2050M, and some sources I came across suggested that the A530M almost competes with the RTX 3050M or at least outperforms the RTX 2050M, especially when paired with more RAM (like 16GB or 32GB). The idea is that the A530M uses unused system RAM as extra VRAM, which it performs better.

If I had to choose again, I’d probably save up for the RTX 3050M version 😅 because I need CUDA for (CAD software, 3D modeling/rendering with Blender). Based on my latest info, it seems that overall, NVIDIA GPUs are better for it. and for gaming, it's more stable and consistent than Intel Arc GPUs. The issue was that when I bought the laptop, most stores I checked only offered the Arc version, and I’m not sure if they had the RTX 30**M or RTX 40**M series. The price difference where I live is still around $150 to $180 between the Arc/RTX 2050M option and the RTX 3050M version.

My main concern is whether the claim that "The A530M almost competes with the RTX 3050M or at least outperforms the RTX 2050M because of Intel's consistent updates" is accurate. HAS ANYONE USED THE "INTEL DRIVER & SUPPORT ASSISTANT" TO UPDATE THEIR DRIVERS AND AND "INTEL ARC CONTROL" WITHOUT ISSUES? I'M WONDERING IF THERE COULD BE ANY BUGS OR COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, AND IF IT MIGHT BE SAFER OR BETTER TO STICK WITH THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE ARC DRIVERS AVAILABLE IN LENOVO VANTAGE. THE LATEST DRIVER IN LENOVO VANTAGE IS 32.0.101.5768, WHILE THE INTEL DRIVER & SUPPORT ASSISTANT OFFERS 32.0.101.6325_101.6252 (WHQL CERTIFIED).

Any advice/response would be appreciated! Thanks! 🙏

All I want to do is play games. Anything debian based gets mad when attempting to boot into the installer and others don't even recognize the GPU once setup. I can't find any tutorials or links to help. So far Garuda and nobara somewhat work.

Newegg's site looks like the B580's will get the ACS bundle included (assuming they get some cards). Microcenter's site doesn't say anything about the bundle for the B580's. For those that have gotten one from there, did you get the Assassins Creed Bundle? I assume it is a code you have to enter on the Intel site and it would probably be on your receipt.
