If you play at 1080p Medium settings the B580 far outperforms the RTX 4060 (100 fps vs 78 fps), but the two are closer at Ultra settings (48 vs 41 fps). FS 2024 doesn't seem to support XeSS.

Received my Asrock B580 Challenger today, its sooo quiet compared to my Acer Bifrost A770. I,ll be giving it a thrashing this weekend to see how it compares.

Which CPU do you have? And what resolution will you be running at? Be interested to see what kind of results you get and how they compare to the various techtubers.
 
I currently use Am5 systems with Ryzen 7700X/9700X/7800X3D cpus so unable to test anything else. I do have some parts left over to build an AM4 system so i may test the overhead issue soon. Mainly playing Apex Legends which performs great at 1440p dont notice any drops from 144fps

Let us know how you get on!
 
Is DX9 software emulation a major drawback? Or not really a concern- if you don't play these really old games then not a issue. And they still work just not as fast as similar amd/nvidia?

Intel Graphics Software Fixed Issues:
  • Intel Graphics Software may incorrectly report number of Xe Cores for certain Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Products.
Intel Graphics Software Known Issues:
  • Intel Graphics Software may experience a very intermittent application crash when navigating pages or dialogue boxes due to an underlying framework issue. A fix will be made available in IGS once WinAppSDK 1.7 is available for upgrade. The application can be relaunched without issue as a workaround.
  • When using the settings, preferences, reset all settings option in Windows 10 the application may experience an intermittent crash. Settings can be reset from individual pages without issue.
  • Intel Graphics Software may sometimes experience a single application crash on the first re-arrange of metrics within the select metrics window. Subsequent usage will not be affected by this crash again.
  • FPS Limiter may not limit FPS with VSync ON and Low Latency Mode enabled.
  • Profile controls don't always supersede global controls. ▪ Display scaling at non-native panel resolutions might result in unintended scaling.
  • Intel Graphics Software may not uninstall entirely when uninstalling using Add or Remove Programs. Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning (BETA):
  • Intel Graphics Software Performance Tuning is currently in Beta. As such, performance and features may behave unexpectedly. Intel will continue to refine the Performance Tuning software in future releases.
    • In multi-GPU scenarios with two performance tuning capable devices, the performance tuning page may attempt to apply changes to one or more devices at once rather than individually based on the GPU selector.

posted in wrong thread previously. Anyone else with the B580 sparkle Titan got insane coil whine sitting on the desktop worse when moving the mouse. including video, Just wondering if its luck of the draw with these and should return it to ocuk for a replacement while they have stock. Seems to have dropped £20 quid in a few days as well :p. Got a new PSU on the way just in case as this is an old thermaltake 550w. I had an older VS550 Corsair with a dying fan i was going to try but thought thats even worse ha.

Has anyone had issues with freezing cursors after using DDU then installing the b580 in W11?

Machine has been pausing, mouse does nothing, then everything resumes, system load looks generally fine. Even happens in chrome doing the weekly shop!

Edit - Going to put a fresh build of W11 on there and go from there
