Intel ARC B580 delivers smooth 1440p gaming, AI-driven enhancements, and budget-friendly pricing. A must-have GPU for gamers in 2025

Not only is this promising news in its own right, as Intel is offering excellent graphics cards for an even better price point which allows budget-minded gamers an affordable option for their PC without sacrificing performance.

Intel’s Arc B580 is a rarity: A $250 GPU that delivers solid 1080p and 1440p gaming, even with a bit of ray tracing.

The Arc B580 and Arc B570 lead the charge for the Battlemage generation. Both are based on the same GPU silicon, but the B580 has a few more execution resources, slightly higher clock speeds, a 192-bit memory bus instead of 160-bit, and 12GB of memory instead of 10GB.

If you're after one of Intel's new B580 12GB Battlemage GPUs, here is where you can pick one up in the UK and USA.

Sliding in just below the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060's typical price -- $280 versus $249 -- and a little above its typical performance, Intel's Arc B580 graphics card makes a nice impression as a step-up-from-entry upgrade for older PC.

Speaking to The Verge, Intel spokesperson Mark Anthony Ramirez said, “We expect weekly inventory of the Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition graphics card and are working with partners to ensure a steady availability of choices in the market.
