When Intel debuted its first Arc video cards two years ago, I was more than a little skeptical. Could a company that famously gave up on its last major desktop GPU project in 2009 actually make a dent in a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD?

While reviewers have showed the B580 doesn’t beat the 4060 and 7600 in every game, especially for gamers who still play at 1080p resolution, it does seem to pull ahead on averag

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

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.

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.

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.

The Intel Arc B580 is available December 13, starting at $249. Keep in mind that this is a starting price, and you might see third party versions of the graphics card at a higher price. Just try to avoid paying more than $300 for it.

Intel's new Arc B580 is superfast, but how does it compare to the wildly popular Nvidia RTX 4060? I found out.

It seems Intel has some work to do on Battemage’s Linux support as the B580 is much faster on Windows than on Linux, when normally it’s the other way around for Intel graphics.
