Intel just released one of the you can buy — the Arc B570. As you can read in my , it delivers solid gaming performance at 1080p, and at a price we haven’t seen in years. But it faces some stiff competition from Nvidia in the form of the .

Intel's Arc B580 graphics cards have been its best-reviewed to date, maintaining the aggressive pricing of the old A-series Arc cards with fewer driver bugs, fewer weird performance outliers, and fewer caveats all around.

Affordable graphics card with AI acceleration, XE SS, and ray tracing for smooth gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

Leaning hard on the cost-effective 1440p GPU for gamers, the ARC B570 has a high bar to reach to beat out other, more established GPUs in its target demographic.

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.

With the sibling Arc B570 scheduled to launch on January 16 at $219, many are wondering if the B580 was a one-off success. This new performance leak is limited in scope, but it suggests that Intel could have another sellout on its hands.
