No, those stats were taken throughout the game of 20 minutes or so.

I was showing 76 when I captured that screenshot.

Yeah i noticed the 84 average later and ninja edited my post, your 1% lows are practically the same as they are on the slide.

You can say what you like about how you tested it but i'm going to go off a reputable reviewer rather than your word, take that as you will, i mean there is nothing wrong with the performance on that slide, it lands about were you would expect it.

I'm not asking you to take my word for it; I am just presenting what I found from my own testing.

:D
 
I am sometimes tempted to try one of these Intel cards as a shot term GPU with AM5, but I spend a lot of time in older games, and not sure how much use the GPU would be later as I can't exactly use it in any older hardware systems such as 4770k which I still play around with.
 
With the possibility of 24gb Nvidia cards before Christmas, it seems buying anything over £500 is simply going to leave a bad taste later.

Not sure how I would find the 12gb B580. My monitor is a 4k but I limit it to 1080p/1440p depending on the game. My AM5 set up is still only playing around with Linux and no GPU. X8 GPU lanes, Rebar, mixed reviews yet a nice plain GPU and low price. Not sure if a B580 or 9060xt 16gb would be worth getting until a 5070ti 24gb is available, but knowning my luck I would buy a 5070ti 24gb just for AMD to immediately release a 9070xt 24gb.

You can always wait. Or you can spend your money now and start having fun. The B580 at £216 is very tempting.

You may find Medium settings work fine, especially with upscaling. My B580 can get just under 60 fps at 4k native on Horizon Zero Dawn with everything set to Medium. I've not tried the latest games.

MaxSun’s Arc Pro B60 with two GPUs listed for sale The first Intel Arc Pro card based on the Battlemage architecture is nearing release. However, the initial launch will primarily target system integrators rather than DIY builders looking to purchase the card individually. The good news is that...

I am hoping that OcUK are one of the retailers offering the free Battlefield 6 promo which starts tomorrow when you purchase any Intel Arc GPU (or most of the intel CPU's). Would be a nice £60 saving on BF6 and i need a new GPU as my RX480 is far too old now so I am going to get a B580.

EDIT- I have just seen this on another website "In the UK, this offer will be available through retailers like Overclockers UK"

Did anyone try the BF6 Beta with a B580?

Current setup -

GPU = AMD Radeon RX 5700
CPU = AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
RAM = 32GB

CPU and RAM fine. Got a 1440p monitor, but often scale up from 1080p using Radeon Super Resolution.

Now the B580 is going to give me a good boost, no doubt about it my card came out in 2019, but is it likely to be able to handle BF6 without scaling on 1440p on relatively decent settings?

For £215 with BF6 bundled in it is really tempting. Or I just get a 9060XT (16gb).

At this point it feels like it's too late to matter.

I'm not sure what it's going to be competitive against, maybe 9060XT/5060Ti level? but that's still probably going to be a hard sell when 9060XT can be had for £330 now (and I can't see this coming in that cheap given the size of the chip relative to B580)


I'd love it to be great and for Intel GPUs to succeed, but just can't see it :(

If Nvidia can have a refresh, why not Intel? But it all comes down to price / performance. A raw B770 should be 60% more powerful than a B580. That makes it more powerful than a RX 9060XT. Add in a clock boost, maybe 24 GB or even 32 GB RAM and Intel will have another winner for £350-£399.

Yeah those are around 35% faster than the B580.

RX 9060 XT 16GB is £330.


The RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is predictably expensive at £400.


B580 is £240, which at £90 less isn't bad but the RX 9060 XT 16GB is by modern standards 2 tiers up.

I don't know what Intel thinks they are going to sell these for but they have to be cheaper than the 9060 XT 16GB.
