Intel ARC B580 question

[Griff7520]

Hi all...looking for a cheap gpu for a new build with a 12400f cpu. Is the b580 any good now, Can get one for £240 at the minute and really thinking about giving it a go. Any thoughts on this, has it matured nowadays

cheers

Their performance and drivers are much more consistent, yes. GN touch on it on their recent YouTube video on Intel.

If it would be optimal to pair one with a 12400F, I'm not sure, it didn't do that great versus a 4060 in HUB's driver video when running with a Ryzen 5600 (very similar CPU performance).

The B580 is a perfectly adequate card these days.

The Intel Arc owners thread

I have an Intel Arc A770 and I believe @oweneades has one too. Anyone else? To get things rolling here are some results (copied from this thread): Running the benchmark in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands now at 4k, medium settings and getting an average of 57 fps. Occasional judder. The judder is...

Other cards are better, but cost more.

This video tests a B580 on a 12400F (against a 16 GB 5060 Ti)

Naturally the 5060 Ti stomps the B580, but then it costs £100 more.

well pulled the trigger and fetched one today from ocuk, putting it through its paces as I type

I’ve had more driver issues on my 5090 than the b580 pc the past few months.

It’s a decent card for the price and really easy to cool. The acer version runs on 0% fan most of the time.

A couple of friends have it and are generally quite happy with it. Surprisingly stable, usable and polished. Great video encoding, too. Intel have really stepped up their game from the chaos that was their first gen.

Even their first gen are still solid cards now. The drivers at release were an abomination, but for the last good while they’re a lot better.
Really been thinking about getting a cheap B580 myself, as the A770 bifrost in my current case is just not the way.

If you have a bit more cash to spare and time to wait, it's been rumored Intel are working on a higher-end model to release later this year.
