Intel's two Battlemage cards, $30 apart at launch. The Arc B580 has more of everything: more memory, a wider bus and noticeably higher speed. For a small difference in price, it is the more convincing buy of the pair.
Last updated
The most memory you can buy at this price: 12 GB on a 192-bit bus for entry-level money. Ray tracing is respectable for the tier, but the card needs Resizable BAR to perform as intended, and driver maturity varies more than it does on NVIDIA or AMD.
The cheapest card in this database. It keeps most of the B580's strengths, including 10 GB of memory and AV1 encode, in exchange for around 15 percent less performance. The same Resizable BAR requirement applies.
Arc B580 comes out ahead of Arc B570.
The score blends performance at 1440p (50%), performance per dollar (30%) and memory headroom (20%), each against every card CompareYourGPU tracks. Fewer than three points apart counts as level. How verdicts are calculated.

Each category is decided by the same numbers used everywhere else on the site. A category with no clear leader says so rather than picking one.
All six axes are normalised to a 0-100 scale so they can share one chart. Performance and ray tracing are CompareYourGPU’s estimated indices; value, VRAM, efficiency and features are each card’s standing relative to every other card tracked here.
| Criterion | Arc B580 | Arc B570 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | 27 | 22 |
| Ray tracing | 24 | 20 |

CompareYourGPU estimate aggregated from public review coverage, not a measurement.
Modelled from the performance index. Not a measured benchmark. Real results vary widely by title.
Capacity alone is not the whole story: memory bus width and bandwidth decide how much of it the GPU can actually use.
The short version: the Arc B580 is faster, but the Arc B570 offers better value at the prices on record. Which of those matters more is the decision.
Based on the specifications, estimated performance indices and prices on record for these cards. How verdicts are calculated.
Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 27. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.
Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $352. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.
Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 24 at 1440p. It also carries XeSS 2 Super Resolution, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.
Carries 12 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.
Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 150 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.
Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.
