Download the latest Intel drivers from the official site. Uninstall any associated software from the old GPU (e.g., Asus GPU Tweak). System Shutdown and Card Removal: Power down and safely remove the old GPU while grounding yourself to avoid static discharge. Disconnect all cables, turn off the power switch, and remove the PCIe connectors and screws. Unboxing the B580: Showcase of the card’s design and features, including a matte finish, cooling system, and ports (3x DP, 1x HDMI). Minimum requirements: 600W PSU, one 8-pin PCIe connector, and a PCIe x16 slot. Installing the New GPU: Align the GPU properly with the case and motherboard. Insert it into the PCIe slot, ensuring the locking mechanism is open. Secure the card with screws and connect the PCIe power cable. Driver Installation and Optimization: Boot up the system and install Intel Arc drivers downloaded earlier. Optimize Windows settings for performance, avoiding default Windows driver installations. Tips and Best Practices: Avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage by grounding yourself. Remove protective coverings from the card’s PCIe fingers before installation. Check for proper alignment and secure the card firmly to prevent hardware damage. The video also highlights the Arc B580’s features, such as AI-powered performance, ray tracing, and content creation capabilities, making it a competitive GPU option.

[@danielhulan3058]

So, I think, from reviewers, te b580 is doing pretty good. Other than the recent problems that come up with weaker cpus. But it's a driver problem that intel is working on. I think intel has made improvements in their gpus (even older ones) by leaps and bounds. I would say its because they don't have the product stack like other gpu devs like amd and nvidia. So they have less to worry about. I'm excited to see if they release higher end gpus.

The recommended AMD drivers & Adrenaline will generally update smoothly, even changing AMD GPUs! If you ever have problems then try the clean install method. When some people reported an issue with the Factory Reset option, that was handled very publicly and they never told people to fully uninstall to update. It's supposed to work and drivers can be unloaded and reloaded into memory.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

@ supposed to yes, but doesn't always, so I have helped thousands with this method.

The card requires a minimum of 600Watts and make sure you have a x8 PCIE power connection connected or a 6+2, you might want to watch the video. www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241598/intel-arc-b580-graphics/specifications.html

[@reanimateddeidara9468]

@@ThisBytesForYou I got it running! After following your guide I still had some issues. I had to go into the bios and hunt down the Rebar or something like that. I've updated the drivers and Windows can see and use the card. I am having some sporadic issues on start up and I can't get it running dual monitors again so I'll be working on that. I'll also be creating a new profile for the case fans to reduce the noise even though my son uses headphones most of the time that he's gaming. The main monitor is using the display port and the secondary uses HDMI. If I plug them in together HDMI seems to take over and the display port stops working. I saw some troubleshooting on the official site about multiple monitors to I'll be headed over there next. But the card is working now which is the most important thing. Thank you very much for this. The user name is different because I'm on his PC but it's me! 😃

[@ThisBytesForYou]

yup, resize bar, I always have it enabled so I didn't think to mention it but on my next build coming real soon, I will go over that. Try to install it with only 1 monitor, then add the 2nd one later, thats curious.

[@FirstNameLastName-IWASFIRST]

great stuff. helped out a lot! ive got everything running but i cant seem to get the light on the card itself to turn on. not sure if thats an indicator of something more but all the functionality of the card is there, its recognized, can output a display thru it.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

thats odd, the light just turns on when you turn on the computer. Was your card sealed when you bought it?

[@FirstNameLastName-IWASFIRST]

@@ThisBytesForYou yes! i ordered off NewEggs website. its not that it turns on then off, it simply wont turn on in the first place haha. im assuming it might be something with the power? im not sure. ive got a 750E corsair power supply running it right now, and the PC parts list my friend helped me build estimated the wattage at 500.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

The card requires a system with at least 600Watts, and 1 x 8 Pin PCIE connector, so at 750Watts you will be good. Intel lists the power requirements on their site, I have the link down below. If the light doesn't turn on though, somethings wrong with the card, if you noticed it turned on the minute the PC turned on. All stores have a past of reselling used items, did everything seemed sealed? www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241598/intel-arc-b580-graphics/specifications.html

[@derealized797]

I have an RX 580 I've been using as sort of a place holder until i figured out what i want, and of course it works, for now, but I'm about ready to pick something. So i have my eyes on the ARC B580 for the price, and I'm fine with 1080p gaming for now, rather focus on a good monitor not 'just 4K'. But if i could do better for about $100 maybe close to $200 more... Would i be better future proofed by spending just a little more? Or should i just grab the ARC when it becomes available, then really save up for the next big upgrade. Should provide plenty of time to do that.

[@ThisBytesForYou]

unfortunately there is no future proof, there is more future proof as you said, future is about 2 or 3 years. The more you spend, the longer you can get from your card, but then your system has other components as well that kind of handicap it. This card however, may not be the card you want, unless your BIOS supports resize bar, look in your BIOS and see if you can enable it.

[@derealized797]

@@ThisBytesForYou It is a new motherboard, and i still have all my boxes out. So, good advice, I'll look it over more, thanks. And i could have worded it better than future proof but, it was close enough. Basically just trying to figure out the best way to do this 'because' I'll have to upgrade again eventually. I'm not sure if i want to right now buy a GPU that's 8gb, how well that'll hold up VS just getting the ARC B680 as, like i call it, a place holder. I have to budget myself and put aside money to save up. So i try to consider everything.
