Intel Arc B570 review: At $219, the cheapest good graphics card
1 min read
Summary
Intel’s Arc B580 graphics card, its fourth attempt to break into the discrete GPU market, has been well-received and appears to be selling well, with stock now difficult to find.
The B580 maintains the aggressive price point of its predecessor, the A-series Arc cards, but with fewer bugs and performance issues.
Intel’s next offering, the B570, is less powerful than the B580 but offers similar performance to the RTX 4060 at a lower price point, making it a more attractive budget option than Nvidia’s RTX 3050 or AMD’s RX 6600.
The B570 uses the same GPU as the B580 but with a lower clock speed and some Xe cores disabled, and has a lower board power of 150W, still requiring an 8-pin power connector.
It has 10GB of RAM, just enough to justify Intel’s claim that it is more future-proof than the RTX 4060, which comes with 8GB.
