The Best Intel Arc B580 - 3 Card Review - ASRock, Sparkle, Intel

[@TechPowerUp]

Apologies on the voice quality as I'm a bit under the weather but didn't want to delay this video!

[@bmqww223]

the third party card partners are selling at very higher price which may hurt its price/performance ratio....wish they slashed the price or its not viable for intel to sell these.....

[@FellowshipOfTheAviatorZ]

@@bmqww223 I'm seeing the Gunnir cards go for upwards of $429 to $459... for zero gain. It's insane.

[@BudgetBin]

No worries, the video was great !

[@reap-gaming]

no worry amazing video very helpfull

[@RandomGameBenchmark]

this gpu is awesome

[@kartikpintu]

Yessir

[@ovemalmstrom7428]

Yes!

[@Boorock70]

Actually, it's the new RX 6700/6750 XT with low power consumption & better RT but cheaper ! - Well done INTEL ! 👍

[@Nick_R_]

But not if you don't have resizeable BAR.

[@piotrnikolai]

@@Nick_R_ Intel 10th gen and newer, Ryzen 3000 and newer have ReBAR/SAM, if you have something older than that, an upgrade is long overdue. Complaining about a new product using a relatively new technology is insane.

[@Nick_R_]

@piotrnikolai I have a new PC that doesn't need a new GPU. I also have an old HP workstation that would make a great all purpose PC for a nephew. It has a fast CPU, with fast memory and storage. It only needs a gaming GPU. Many people now use these as home computers. They only lack resizable BAR. So I'll be looking for a used RX6700XT.

[@piotrnikolai]

@@Nick_R_ Good luck getting one, heard they are all out of stock now.

[@cajonesalt0191]

@@Nick_R_ Everyone has their own cost-optimization martices. I personally would rather spend a bit more money to build a cheap all-purpose PC that'll be faster than an old workstation, especially since technology like resizeable bar is going to be the standard in short order.

[@tomtomkowski7653]

Both Nvidia and AMD deserved such a punch in the face. They are teasing their presence at CES to make people wait but wait for what exactly? $350 5060 8GB or $300 8600 8GB? No wonder B580 is sold out almost everywhere.

[@duikmans]

Intel can easily create an artificial shortage as they control the supply. That way they can create a "sold out" hype.

[@Chicagoben]

@@duikmansmore likely this isn’t a card that has much in margins so it’s better to start small in scale and then slowly build up volume if it has interest. This seems like standard marketing practice in their situation tbh.

[@zee_nyc]

I snatched the last b580 from micro center Brooklyn just now. Guys in there told me that they only got 3 of them. I got the sparkle, they had one challenger and one reference. Gonna be a present for my brother in law that’s still running a 2060. ❤🎉

[@sitaroartworks]

That's a good one. Even an Alchemist A580 is better than RTX 2060. It does 1800.94 points in Blender Benchmark.

[@epr118]

Great content. Good to see the comparison and call out vs the reference.

[@csh9853]

Steel legend looks like a winner.

[@cube3156]

Agreed, if you're set on spending the extra $20 it's better than sparkle in every way and IMO looks cleaner too

[@drcrankenstein]

I like the look of the Intel reference best, but once I saw the temp differences, I was sold on the Steel Legend.

[@typingcat]

Wish Intel would release an affordable 32GB-VRAM GPU. I don't play games, but to run AI, I need more VRAM. Sick and tired of GPU companies' rationing VRAM.

[@techonlystuff99-tw6cm]

Nvidia does it on purpose giving us only one option 🤬

[@kartikpintu]

You're in the minority, so no Intel will not cater to you

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

So true. Memory is so cheap. Those 3000 dollar cards are just being ridiculous.

[@AlphaConde-qy7vi]

Things will start to change next year once AMD releases Strix Halo. Sure, it'll be expensive at first, but it should still be a much better value proposition than nGreedia's products.

[@Kenobi-vu9mb]

@@kartikpintu there would be a huge market if they did. There's a reason you can get a used 3060ti cheaper than a 3060 12g.

[@j.w.grayson6937]

Impressive! I am also impressed with the format you use. I get so tired of looking at 20 to 40 games being tested! I started skipping to the game recap and conclusion. Thanks for posting! I subscribed.

[@sammiller6631]

I am not tired of looking at 20 to 40 games being tested. At least there I know why other channels results differ. Squeezing all your results together makes TPU more suspect if I don't know what they tested.

[@ozanozkirmizi47]

If that is not going to be "A HUGE WAKE UP CALL FOR AMD" I do not know what will...

[@majestichellium9166]

I couldnt find any anywhere in canada. Only place I could find it is a preorder on canada computers everywhere else its no where to be seen

[@flatfish-d9o]

Would have been good to see the 1440p performance per dollar as well as 1080p. Still a good vid and happy to see it included in the detailed written review.

[@paulgaurav72]

if b580 is successor to a580 ,will there be b750 and b770 ?

[@TechPowerUp]

So far just the B580 and upcoming B570 have been announced. We'll see what turns up at CES!

[@cube3156]

It's been speculated B750 and B770 will be announced Q1 2025, there were leaks of their product IDs in seller websites so they probably exist

[@AlphaConde-qy7vi]

Kudos, the review we were waiting for 👌

[@GlassWolfLH]

I'm really liking the Sparkle B580 Titan Luna white card, with the white PCB. Looks gorgeous for a white build.

[@meccu19]

Is it any issues with fan noise in Sparkle? Their classic problem

[@TechPowerUp]

Not really. Idle-stop is new this gen and is a bit buggy but hopefully that will be resolved. Under load the fans are at ~1300rpm

[@meccu19]

@@TechPowerUp thank you, so again no go, last gen still didn't resolve issues, you have to use fan curve :(

[@Gateastrologykc]

Why no acer nitro cards? My a770 runs gr8

[@TechPowerUp]

We didn't get a sample. Let them know you want them to be included next time!

[@Gateastrologykc]

@@TechPowerUp yes why not?

[@snf3847]

love the content and the channel ❤ keep up the work

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

What is a good cpu to pair it with? That is so as not to be bottlenecked in any way.

[@cajonesalt0191]

From other reviews, apparently XeSS upscaling is now on par with DLSS in terms of image quality. We can all admit that Nvidia won't lose any share over this - they definitively offer worse cost-performance products and everyone still buys them for some reason. But, AMD may take a serious blow from Intel if they don't bother making the 8000 series strongly price competitive. If they offered up the 8800XT at $450, they might actually have a chance.

[@kazuviking]

Intels Frame Gen and Low Latency is beating amd as well which is huge.

[@or1on89]

@@kazuviking I think that this products coming from Intel is the reason why AMD a few months ago anticipated ML-based FSR4 and they would focus on the low-mid segment not even competing for an ELO product with Nvidia. They have a chance to fight back with Intel and make more people happy than the ones Nvidia will ever make with their xx90 series. I hope we will see a good fight in the coming months!

[@mythydamashii9978]

Intel gpus are literally RTX cards

[@grenoh8440]

The thing is, while intel is claiming the price being as low as 250$, it costs almost 400$ here... For soke reason 4060 is cheaper over here.

[@alifahran8033]

Not a fan of Intel, but it's great to see good gaming deals being released. I hope AMD and Nvidia come to their senses soon and start an actual competition.

[@RANDOMNATION907]

Outstanding. I still want to get an A770 16GB Limited card, just for keepsakes. I'm Super thrilled that Intel ARC is being so well recieved with the Battlemage release. We _NEED_ this, . . . we really do. But, I do (of course) have a gripe. Enough with _BUDGET_ cards only having x8 PCIe lanes. Budget GPUs are _Going_ to be put into older systems. They _MUST_ *fully support* PCIe3x16 & DX9 . . . period.

[@bsoda69]

Please make content that compare B580 Stock vs Undervolted vs Overclocked, thanks :)

[@sitaroartworks]

I think the AsRock Challenger will be the best, especially aesthetically. Not to mention that the B570 that will be available in January 2025 is also identical (form factor).

[@l.i.archer5379]

No comparison the an RTX 3060 (overclocked)?

[@TechPowerUp]

You can briefly see the 3060 at 2:05 and 3:20, but typically it performs worse than the Arc A770 so it didn't get a callout.

[@l.i.archer5379]

@TechPowerUp i have my EVGA RTX 3060 XC in an SFF build with a Ryzen 7 3700X. I saw another KZbinr benchmark my card with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and it was in the 200+ FPS range. This is why I was curious how my card compared to the B580.

[@mklmyrs5454]

oh man, i really want this gpu but i live in mexico and there is no way to buy it without paying overprice

[@burnitdwn]

wondering if B770 or RDNA4 will convince me to upgrade from my Radeon 6800. otherwise I can skip another generation.

[@zach4434]

would this cars be bad on pcie 3.0?

[@techonlystuff99-tw6cm]

about -5% to -10% on average still ok

[@duikmans]

Is it mid-range or entry level?

[@TechPowerUp]

Intel's mid-range, competes with others entry level 👍

[@MikeBob2023]

Thank you! 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@TheJrRobin]

too bad you cant buy one, danm scalpers

[@kartikpintu]

😢

[@RicePho]

Highly doubt it's scalpers. This card isn't going to be high demand for using on mining crypto compare to the others and what can they scalp with it when there are other GPU? They want 300/350 dollars? Then get a 4070 instead on the used market.

[@SecretlySeven]

Wish I hadn't bought the A-770. The sting of that flop has me real wary here. No reason they couldn't have polished Alchemist more. I feel like a step that got used and abandoned. Shit I still have graphical issues in games.

[@mrmertah5412]

Awesome card, awesome channel!

[@jameswubbolt7787]

The outlets are selling at almost 3 times the price. There's the scam.

[@tvcultural68]

TechPowerUp made a complete mess of the Space Marine 2 test. The 4060 Ti 16 GB ended up behind the 8 GB version in the overall average across 25 games, even though it outperformed in several games by a decent margin. Just to highlight the absurdity: the 4060 Ti 8 GB "scored" 103 FPS compared to a ridiculous 56.5 FPS for the 16 GB version. And the 4060? It came out way ahead of the 4060 Ti 8 GB, hitting over 70 FPS. lol, that alone wrecked the entire average. There are other nonsensical results too, like the 3070 being 50% ahead of the 3060 Ti. The worst part? They haven’t fixed anything yet. Total amateur hour.

[@TechPowerUp]

Yep, we're aware of it and will get it fixed.

[@tvcultural68]

@@TechPowerUp thx

[@yeost187]

Its comparable to the 4060. You call that a midrange card?

[@TechPowerUp]

It's Intel's mid-range card. I called it "mainstream or entry-level"

[@fracturedlife1393]

aarock 2*8pin. curiosity intensifies

[@techonlystuff99-tw6cm]

if this came out 6-8 months ago it would be the best option but you have AMD & Nvidia coming in 2-3 months hopefully this drives down the lower end 🤔

[@hotdogsarepropaganda]

would have loved to see the 3 cards rated against eachother in games like cyberpunk. please overclock the Asrock one and compare it to the 4060ti

[@fonicgaming6787]

None, because for the same price or less you can get a 3070 and have a much better graphics card 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ycageLehT]

Not new, no. RTX3070 is one of the most mined with cards and the whole 3000 series is more prone to memory issues and on top of that have limited capacity issues, which ends up choking the card in modern titles, the 3070’s are overpriced turds, even second hand. Good job Intel.

[@Xero_Wolf]

Not for me. None of the 3000 series cards have the new hardware media encoders the Arc GPUs have. The 3070 is also an 8GB card making it a worse option than the B580 for VRAM heavy work I do. The B580 is a great entry level card and has some nice features no other GPU has as of writing.

[@MTN1601]

@@ycageLehTthis also applies to amd gpus too. I remember finding the rx 6800 and 6800xt used (because the new card was sold out) and 90% of them are mining cards
