Merry Xmas all, hope you enjoy this one, lots more content coming over the holiday season as well as a new years parts hunt! Edit, big thank you all for subscribing too, 600K!
They both are Arc Series cards.The previous ones were Arc Alchemist gpus and the new ones are still Arc but Battlemage gpus. Edit : Wrote the comment before ending the video, correction in the naming is at the end of it.
i just remember Asrock Challanger look tr*sh like msi ventus or gigabyte but now it look much better, Asus Dual and Asrock Challanger are did a great job in quality build now.
Thanks for the review and recommendation, Bryan! The only thing I would have appreciated is a comment about the conspicuous 5% lows in a few titles; perhaps some more commentary on subjective gameplay "feel." Merry Christmas!
Yessss !!! at last .... someone reported ReBar for those Battllemage !!! Thank you Bryan ,since ,my complaints to those other reviewers was exactly what you said ,that *the Battlemage ,due to its appealing price ,will be mostly desirable to lower budget players ,and those lower budget gamers won't necessarily have a new* (ReBar supported) *CPU* . My own systems are based on Ryzen2700X/3700X ,just like many other people i suppose... Thanks !!
@@The79Vivir this is the answer if you ask MS copilot about ReBar support for Ryzen3xxx series : """"Yes, the Ryzen 3xxx-series CPUs generally support the Resizable BAR (ReBAR) feature. *However, to enable ReBAR, you'll need a compatible motherboard* ( *typically a 500-series chipset or newer* ) and a compatible GPU"""" ,so this isn't applied to everyone
Glad you showed the temps as they have a 3-fan version of this. I'd prefer a smaller form factor in any build if the temps don't go high. Merry Christmas!
Had mine for two years and it has doubled it performance. Plus it overclocks well. On 4k with i7-13700k. It gives better experience with half the FPS compared to 4070ti. Different architecture from all good frames vs half broken frames with stutter.

PCIe 5.0 double the data transfer compared to PCIe 4.0. And PCIe 4.0 x8 is only quarter of the PCIe 5.0 x16 speed. REBAR vs direct access. Add CUDIMM that offers +20% gains.

@@dbeko07 There is architectural difference where CPU only feeds the GPU and INTEL ARC where the CPU is paired via REBAR to split the tasks with GPU.

For Alchemist it is vital to have INTEL CPU and better it is better the ARC works. With every driver update the gap is getting bigger to AMD CPU. INTEL ARC is optimized to INTEL CPU.
Hey Brian, I wish you would have said more to the 1% lows that you measured. These are pretty important for the overall gaming experience. I am certain the performance will improve for the B580 but based on your datapoints the tone of the video is a little too positive. Feels rather mixed based on your benchmarks.
Merry Christmas Mr. Tech YES Man! I have a story of ReBAR support I would like you to hear at the bottom here that might be a nothing sandwich or really interesting. But first the B580. So happy you testing this card and so darn happy that Intel came out with a banger GPU at a price point I am finally willing to afford at under US$300. I have been holding back upgrading and as someone who has been wanting to upgrade since the RX 400, 500, and 5000 series AMD cards I use on daily Linux distros and testing Windows. This is finally worth something I am really wanting to buy combined with the power draw, encoding support, 1440p improvements, and hopefully heaps more down the road. If you are testing on older hardware, could you try out the Ryzen 5 3600 CPU on an updated ReBAR supported motherboard? The Ryzen 5 3600 supports PCIe 4.0. Of course, I only have a X470 board with PCIe 3.0. I have been curious for a while now cause I own a Ryzen 5 3600 in my main rig along with a i5-8400 with a ReBAR updated supported Z370 motherboard. Funny enough, the RX 5500 XT 8gb and RX 560D 2gb greatly benefits on the Ryzen 5 3600 unit with ReBAR support on. Thanks to ReBAR, the RX 560D gained a very large portion of FPS in say like Cyberpunk 2077 I did as a fun test where I increased from non-playable to completely playable around 60fps with very aggressive FSR2 upscaling. I mainly did this while I was waiting on my RX 5500 XT. And the RX 5500 XT gains about a 5% increase or nothing changes with ReBAR support. And I also did this on both Windows 11 Pro and Linux distros such as Bazzite, Fedora, Mint, and Zorin. However, I recently built a i5-8400 test bench unit that has glitches with it's enabled ReBAR support when only on bootup of the Cachy OS distro on a RX 470 4gb. Of course, I have not had time to figure this out do to lots of IT work, and it only seems to last on bootup. And even after disabling ReBAR the Cachy OS is still showing signs bootup glitches. Yet, I had to do something with a Windows 10 clone on the i5-8400(which the cloned drived shared a 8th gen CPU). And ReBAR support was enabled and would not allow the system to boot the Windows OS. Now, it could a whole number of factors. My best bet is it is just the RX 470 has a bad memory controllr or memory in general considering it has been running for years in my sister's 1080p editing system. I just find this very interesting on ReBAR support and I do wonder from where does enabling ReBAR start to become important. Does a PCIe 4.0 enabled CPU like the Ryzen 5 3600 even on a PCIe 3.0 board gains benefits with ReBar support enabled from a PCIe 4.0 card like the Intel B580?

As one system builder to another, I do not have the tools and multiple variables I used to have. And I especially do not have the time to test these ReBAR theories. Just something I thought was interesting to share. Sorry it is all long winded and stuff. Hope you and everyone around the world has a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays.
The problem with misnaming the A series cards just "Arc" is because there's also an Intel limited edition called the Intel Arc B850 so when you mentioned the ASRock not having issues like Intel Arc, viewers might think the Intel Limited Edition Arc B850s could have some sort of defect. In either case, I'm happy to see Intel really showing up this time around. I just wish they were actually available.
I am a bit surprised you had issues with the Arc cards That being said, I am waiting for the 'high-end' releases that are supposed to happen for the Battlemage cards. It will be quite the thing once they come out I think
In germany they go around 320/330 (and netherlands +10). Two times I saw the intel version for 300 euro. So they are in available. I think I'm going to pick one up for my living room pc. My current AMD rx 480 8gb has no support anymore and was only playable with newer games that support upscaling. Still going to need upscaling with the Intel b580 but at least not with low settings anymore. I'm also impressed with intels upscaler.
As an A750 user on an AM4 5700X platform I find it rock stable and incredibly good value for the price. Have you used the DDU utility to remove any old nVidia/AMD/Intel gpu drivers before installing the Arc ones? If not that is probably your issue... When I went from 1660 Super oo the A750 I HAD to use that utility or else I had weird issues all over the place ( Intel inform customs to use DDU when changing from any other card )
Hi mate would you know if huaqiangbei still worth visiting these days? Going to shenzen this Friday and thinking of having a look if Im nearby. For pc parts of course
Merry Christmas. This won't have the full overclock potential of the Steel Legend but it should have a bit in it. Founders Edition had great thermals and power, so probably doesn't need the third fan.
The intel arc b580 cards early problems in some games reminds me a lot of how the 5700xt overcame the 2070 super about 2 years after launch when tests were ran fresh. Amd really put out driver improvements and the card aged like fine wine and is still going for 200-150 in my area.
I would say it depends on what your budget is. If you're looking to build a system in the $500-600 range, this might be the card to pick up now. If your budget is higher, then it might be good to wait, but I highly doubt anyone else is going to put out something as good as the B580 for $250. Hell, I doubt you'll see any of the new come close at $280.
0:35 Is he conflating ARC, Intel's GPU brand, with Alchemist, their 1st gen GPU series? It feels like he keeps doing this throughout the video (or interchangeably when talking about their 1st party cards, too).
Rocking the 6700 XT atm and seeing the leaks for the 9000 series, the performance leap seems lackluster. I refused to buy Nvidia because I always remember the late Gordon Mah Ung saying the internet bitch and moan but still end up buying Nvidia which led to the current state of GPU market with Nvidia releasing overpriced GPU while AMD at half-raised white flag.
You're the first reviewer to mention the lack of in-driver screen capturing. I actually use that a lot. Crazy how people can put together these videos without thinking about anything except benchmarks. Thank you!
@dostrazzz4647 something like shadowplay or the adrenaline version where you can press a button combo to start recording, and it's built into the drivers of the card. OBS is just buggy sometimes. Shadowplay always works.
@@Takashita_Sukakoki apparently Intel was surprised by the enthusiastic reaction to the card. Hopefully they increase the production in the coming weeks.
@@Pårchmēntôs they are losing serious money each unit sold. The gpu die is massive and there are still serious architectural weaknesses on battlemage (seems to be unable too load all cores on 1080p explains the 1440p results). The price is great for what it is.
@@Takashita_Sukakoki the goal is to take some market share so they’re probably fine with losing money on the sale. I think they just weren’t expecting people to like it as much as they do.
I bought the same card and have been playing around with it. Really impressed! I put it in a system that had a RTX 2080 and I'm seeing less performance overall, which feels incorrect. So maybe there is some more tweaking to do. Cyberpunk with raytracing is really impressive. Playing around with it, I was getting 40+ FPS with ultra settings, XeSS on Performance, ray tracing on medium, at 4K. Obviously not the ideal playing experience, but the fact that I can push it to that is really cool. Unfortunately, this PC is my couch PC and I play a lot of Assassin's Creed on it, and for some reason I can not get AC Odyssey to perform well. Whether it's low settings or ultra settings, 1080p or 4K, it sits at around 50 FPS and has massive hitches. Since the settings don't seem to affect it, I'm curious what's causing this. Suggestions are welcome, but I'm going to keep doing more testing with other games.
I have the A380 for QSV hardware video transcoding via ffmpeg and for that narrow use it is brilliant. I don't play games. For all the RUclips reviews of the B580 not one of them compares comparative QSV performance. Not all GPU users play games.😮
That is wonderful! Hope Intel will recover and bring us more of this. How is performance on a PCIe 3.0 System since it only uses 8 lanes of the 16x connector?
Such an interesting card, would love to have one! Here in Finland tho so the euro conversion and tax etc. hits hard and all the models are around 340€ D:
Australia I got mine 75€ cheaper. But getting more expensive here after elections that screwed the Australian Dollar. Word of today is "Tariffs". Australian talking point to follow the idiocy of U.S.
Yeah, I was excited for this GPU but I still got the 4060 because of that + stability + RT and Nvidia features like cuda for Blender. It gets a lot of hate but for my use case it's perfect lol
I was going to pick up one of the B580s, however they were all out of stock, so I ended up finding an open box 7600 XT at my local BestBuy for $279, works great, around the same performance, not Nvidia.
If the b580 came more powerful, I'd swap from my 3070. 3070 undervolted and most games I'm at the same wattage as the b580. Intel did an amazing job on this card. No more nvidia for me in the future as they just charge too much for less.
Been impressed with my ASRock Arc B580 as well, runs all the games I want to play over xmas at over 120hz-200hz on low settings, and for £285 can't really complain. Was nice to give Intel a try and this card stays quiet even under load and with the fans working up to 1000-1500rpm for me. Great card to have in the interim as I wait for Nvidia before deciding what to do with it.
@@JerrodLechner Yes I have, it drops all over the place when I'm on Nuketown - you can get 120-180hz but I wouldn't call it a buttery smooth experience due to the 1% lows I'm on a 13900K for this gpu though, maybe it'd be better with AMD to boost performance at 1440p? I could also drop the resolution down to 1920x1080 but never did.
At this point the "A" series cards are nothing more than a collectors item for those who are into collecting GPU's I suppose. But the B580 really seems to out perform the 16GB A770.
Nice to see that Intel are still trying to get into the market by offering these GPUs at a reasonable price. They still offer nothing to me as I have a RX 6800XT, but neither do Nvidia 5xxx (far too expensive to buy anything worthy of an upgrade) or AMD 9xxx (tiny bump to the fps and RayTracing which is still a gimmick in most cases). The most important parts of a GPU for me are bandwidth and 16GB+ of VRAM so the card doesn't chock on textures. If Intel provide that for their next gen then there may be something worth looking at. Merry Christmas and hopeful New Year to all.
I found with the Alchemist card, when I removed the Control centre, the glitches I had went too. Now I only install and update drivers and it runs fine.
The card is looking quiet good. Only the 0.1% lows are something to look at. That can ruin the gameplay if you have heavy stutters. But pricewise the card is amazing. I hope the B780 will be there soon and can target about 4070 performance. That would be great!
Man! Merry Christmas and thanks for the video! could I ask you if it would be possible to see benchmarks on competitive FPS games, setting all graphics to low? Like Valorant, CS2, Cod,the finals, Delta Force. Nobody has done this. I know we're in the CPU bound scenario but I think could be interesting to see how core clock and ram speeds works in high FPS environments and also driver optimization. The B580 could reach over 3100mhz with overclocking that could impact so much in this types of games.
This is decently impressive. I've toyed with everything and a mainstream card that will last like the RX580 did is great for the masses, the price on B580 is nice.
I love my B580 so far. But, I upgraded from an A750 and I have a few games that run great on the A750 but are unplayable due to incredibly low FPS or a flat out failure to launch on the B580. I'm hoping driver updates will iron out these issues, since I know the games can run on Arc hardware. For the most part, though, the B580 is a major improvement.
Cool someday there will be 3 choices when buying a top end video card and who knows that may happen in the CPU market if the ARM cpus can get performance up with the other two.

great vid as always. would it be possible to put relevant prices next to the GPU's? That extra bit of information would be extremely helpful.

Came to the comment section to see all the computer nerds screaming about Battlemage being ARC too and I was not disappointed... Good work guys.
Battlemage is Arc just like Alchemist was. Battlemage is much more baked than Alchemist was

Have you used the DDU utility to remove any old nVidia/AMD/Intel gpu drivers before installing the Arc ones? If not that is probably your issue... When I went from 1660 Super oo the A750 I HAD to use that utility or else I had weird issues all over the place ( Intel inform customs to use DDU when changing from any other card )
Hi mate would you know if huaqiangbei still worth visiting these days? Going to shenzen this Friday and thinking of having a look if Im nearby. For pc parts of course
Merry Christmas.
This won't have the full overclock potential of the Steel Legend but it should have a bit in it. Founders Edition had great thermals and power, so probably doesn't need the third fan.
If asrock releases a 200mm B580 or better for $300 or less I would buy it right now.
Just got one in myself and it looks a great card for the price,very stable and with good benchmarks.
I tried taking a look at a Tech YES City video.
10/10 would recommend
The intel arc b580 cards early problems in some games reminds me a lot of how the 5700xt overcame the 2070 super about 2 years after launch when tests were ran fresh. Amd really put out driver improvements and the card aged like fine wine and is still going for 200-150 in my area.
Would you recommend waiting until January? We're getting new 9000 AMD cards and apparently a 7000 series refresh from current rumors. Merry Christmas.
I would say it depends on what your budget is. If you're looking to build a system in the $500-600 range, this might be the card to pick up now. If your budget is higher, then it might be good to wait, but I highly doubt anyone else is going to put out something as good as the B580 for $250. Hell, I doubt you'll see any of the new come close at $280.
0:35 Is he conflating ARC, Intel's GPU brand, with Alchemist, their 1st gen GPU series? It feels like he keeps doing this throughout the video (or interchangeably when talking about their 1st party cards, too).
Maybe he meant Alc for alchemist😅
Rocking the 6700 XT atm and seeing the leaks for the 9000 series, the performance leap seems lackluster. I refused to buy Nvidia because I always remember the late Gordon Mah Ung saying the internet bitch and moan but still end up buying Nvidia which led to the current state of GPU market with Nvidia releasing overpriced GPU while AMD at half-raised white flag.
RIP Gordon
You're the first reviewer to mention the lack of in-driver screen capturing. I actually use that a lot. Crazy how people can put together these videos without thinking about anything except benchmarks.
Thank you!
What is in-driver screen capturing?
@dostrazzz4647 something like shadowplay or the adrenaline version where you can press a button combo to start recording, and it's built into the drivers of the card.
OBS is just buggy sometimes. Shadowplay always works.
Scalpers are preventing us from getting our hands on these in our area unfortunately
oh no way, that sucks. They sold out in aus pretty quick, but that's because I don't think there were that many.
Its easier too see it as a bit of goodwill farming from intel 250 for reviews but those models will disappear soon enough
@@Takashita_Sukakoki apparently Intel was surprised by the enthusiastic reaction to the card. Hopefully they increase the production in the coming weeks.
@@Pårchmēntôs they are losing serious money each unit sold. The gpu die is massive and there are still serious architectural weaknesses on battlemage (seems to be unable too load all cores on 1080p explains the 1440p results). The price is great for what it is.
@@Takashita_Sukakoki the goal is to take some market share so they’re probably fine with losing money on the sale. I think they just weren’t expecting people to like it as much as they do.
Mixing up Black Myth: Wukong with Dota2's Monkey King skill Wukong's Command.
I bought the same card and have been playing around with it. Really impressed! I put it in a system that had a RTX 2080 and I'm seeing less performance overall, which feels incorrect. So maybe there is some more tweaking to do. Cyberpunk with raytracing is really impressive. Playing around with it, I was getting 40+ FPS with ultra settings, XeSS on Performance, ray tracing on medium, at 4K. Obviously not the ideal playing experience, but the fact that I can push it to that is really cool. Unfortunately, this PC is my couch PC and I play a lot of Assassin's Creed on it, and for some reason I can not get AC Odyssey to perform well. Whether it's low settings or ultra settings, 1080p or 4K, it sits at around 50 FPS and has massive hitches. Since the settings don't seem to affect it, I'm curious what's causing this. Suggestions are welcome, but I'm going to keep doing more testing with other games.
Can you also test streaming capabilities for this graphics card?
I have the A380 for QSV hardware video transcoding via ffmpeg and for that narrow use it is brilliant. I don't play games. For all the RUclips reviews of the B580 not one of them compares comparative QSV performance. Not all GPU users play games.😮
Minor thing, but Alchemist and Battlemage are both Intel Arc
That is wonderful!
Hope Intel will recover and bring us more of this.
How is performance on a PCIe 3.0 System since it only uses 8 lanes of the 16x connector?
Such an interesting card, would love to have one! Here in Finland tho so the euro conversion and tax etc. hits hard and all the models are around 340€ D:
Australia I got mine 75€ cheaper. But getting more expensive here after elections that screwed the Australian Dollar. Word of today is "Tariffs". Australian talking point to follow the idiocy of U.S.
Those % lows are shocking for something that claims to wipe the floor with the 4060.
Yeah, I was excited for this GPU but I still got the 4060 because of that + stability + RT and Nvidia features like cuda for Blender. It gets a lot of hate but for my use case it's perfect lol
Good video, good info. It's a big step up from the a series cards. BTW, 20FPS RT is good?
I was going to pick up one of the B580s, however they were all out of stock, so I ended up finding an open box 7600 XT at my local BestBuy for $279, works great, around the same performance, not Nvidia.
If the b580 came more powerful, I'd swap from my 3070. 3070 undervolted and most games I'm at the same wattage as the b580. Intel did an amazing job on this card. No more nvidia for me in the future as they just charge too much for less.
You mean the Alchemist series as the battlemage series is also Arc. Arc is like GeForce
Been impressed with my ASRock Arc B580 as well, runs all the games I want to play over xmas at over 120hz-200hz on low settings, and for £285 can't really complain. Was nice to give Intel a try and this card stays quiet even under load and with the fans working up to 1000-1500rpm for me.
Great card to have in the interim as I wait for Nvidia before deciding what to do with it.
Have you tried BO6 with it? My A580 runs it at 160-180 hz. Interested what this does.
@@JerrodLechner Yes I have, it drops all over the place when I'm on Nuketown - you can get 120-180hz but I wouldn't call it a buttery smooth experience due to the 1% lows I'm on a 13900K for this gpu though, maybe it'd be better with AMD to boost performance at 1440p? I could also drop the resolution down to 1920x1080 but never did.
Great card for gaming on a budget so nice to have more options.
With the Intel software bugs you've mentioned - did you only see this in Win 10? Or can you confirm it's also present in Win 11? Thanks!
Could u do a video testing ryzen rendering and modeling test
At this point the "A" series cards are nothing more than a collectors item for those who are into collecting GPU's I suppose. But the B580 really seems to out perform the 16GB A770.
I might buy a B770 -- if we get one, anyway.
eh intel is sadly out of range in germany, too expensive here, about 100€/dollar difference dont make it a good deal overseas
Max FPS seems good but i noticed that the 5% lows aren't that good, is this something that can get patched or is this even noticeable in game?
I wouldn't touch Intel with a ten foot pole

Nice to see that Intel are still trying to get into the market by offering these GPUs at a reasonable price. They still offer nothing to me as I have a RX 6800XT, but neither do Nvidia 5xxx (far too expensive to buy anything worthy of an upgrade) or AMD 9xxx (tiny bump to the fps and RayTracing which is still a gimmick in most cases). The most important parts of a GPU for me are bandwidth and 16GB+ of VRAM so the card doesn't chock on textures. If Intel provide that for their next gen then there may be something worth looking at.
Merry Christmas and hopeful New Year to all.
11:00 what the hell Mike Shinoda tech tips???
I found with the Alchemist card, when I removed the Control centre, the glitches I had went too. Now I only install and update drivers and it runs fine.
The card is looking quiet good. Only the 0.1% lows are something to look at. That can ruin the gameplay if you have heavy stutters. But pricewise the card is amazing. I hope the B780 will be there soon and can target about 4070 performance. That would be great!
Everybody cheers for Intel to succeed so that Nvidia would lower their 60% profit margins and we could buy their tech cheaper :-)
Man! Merry Christmas and thanks for the video! could I ask you if it would be possible to see benchmarks on competitive FPS games, setting all graphics to low?
Like Valorant, CS2, Cod,the finals, Delta Force.
Nobody has done this. I know we're in the CPU bound scenario but I think could be interesting to see how core clock and ram speeds works in high FPS environments and also driver optimization. The B580 could reach over 3100mhz with overclocking that could impact so much in this types of games.
Better than bought 2nd hand GPU off eBay / Marketplace but experience problems running games 5+ old...
This is decently impressive. I've toyed with everything and a mainstream card that will last like the RX580 did is great for the masses, the price on B580 is nice.
I love my B580 so far. But, I upgraded from an A750 and I have a few games that run great on the A750 but are unplayable due to incredibly low FPS or a flat out failure to launch on the B580. I'm hoping driver updates will iron out these issues, since I know the games can run on Arc hardware. For the most part, though, the B580 is a major improvement.
Cool someday there will be 3 choices when buying a top end video card and who knows that may happen in the CPU market if the ARM cpus can get performance up with the other two.
Why are they producing a card with such a big "hump" on the back? Cannot install such a thing in my Desktop case. 😢
Please do a benchmark with lower end AM5 CPUs (i.e. 7500F, 7600)
I love it but none of these cards are available.
