1080p gaming at 60+ FPS

Why

  • Estimated performance index of 26 at 1080p, where 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.
  • 11.9 index points per $100 at 1080p, among the strongest value here, based on launch MSRP.
  • Supports XeSS 2 Frame Generation.
  • At 1080p the Arc B570 is 3.7% slower than the RTX 5050 while costing $30 less, which gives it the better performance per dollar of the two. Based on launch MSRP.

Derived from this card's specifications, CompareYourGPU's estimated performance indices and launch MSRP. No verified current price is on record.

Watch out for

150 W is high for the performance it delivers, which means more heat, more fan noise and a larger power supply than similarly fast alternatives.

Consider instead
  • Arc B580 if ray tracing is your priority. Its ray tracing index is 24 against 20, at $249.

Estimated

1080p

26

- Entry-level

60-90 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

60+ FPS class

10 GB is enough for 1080p today, but it is below the 12 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.

1440p

22

- Entry-level

40-55 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

Below 60 FPS natively

10 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.

4K

16

- Entry-level

15-25 FPS

Estimated, typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

Below 60 FPS natively

10 GB is below the 12 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 4K. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.

CompareYourGPU estimate

Performance indices are aggregated from public review coverage, not measured by CompareYourGPU. Frame-rate ranges are modelled from those indices. How this is calculated.

How the Arc B570 compares at 1440p against the cards closest to it.

CompareYourGPU estimate. 100 = the fastest card tracked.

Ray tracing performance at 1440p, Arc B570 against the same peer group.

CompareYourGPU estimate. Ray-traced performance does not track rasterisation performance, which is why it is charted separately.

Measured

Gaming benchmarks

Frame-rate figures transcribed from named third-party measurements, grouped so that two different test methodologies are never mixed in one table.

Third-party suite rating

No third-party measured rating for this card

The published rankings CompareYourGPU transcribes do not include the Arc B570. The estimated performance index above is the alternative, and it is labelled as an estimate.

Per-game measured results

No verified benchmark data yet

CompareYourGPU only publishes frame-rate figures it can attribute to a named, linkable measurement, and none have been transcribed for the Arc B570 yet. The estimated performance indices above are clearly labelled as estimates and are the honest alternative until measured runs are recorded here.

Technologies and features

What this card supports, and what each feature actually does for you.

Supported. This card uses 2nd-generation Intel ray tracing units.

XeSS 2 Super Resolution, FSR 3.1. Availability in any individual game depends on the developer implementing it.

XeSS 2 Frame Generation. Frame generation raises the displayed frame rate without improving responsiveness, so it works best on top of an already playable frame rate.

Hardware AV1 encode is supported. Xe Media Engine with AV1, HEVC and H.264 encode. AV1, HEVC, H.264 and VVC decode.

Strengths, weaknesses and who it suits

CompareYourGPU's assessment, grounded in the specifications above rather than in marketing material.

Strengths

  • 10 GB of VRAM at the lowest price here
  • 150 W on a single 8-pin connector
  • AV1 encode and DisplayPort 2.1

Weaknesses

  • Requires Resizable BAR
  • 160-bit bus and reduced core count versus the B580
  • Entry-level performance only

Best for

  • 1080p gaming at medium to high settings
  • The lowest-cost route to a modern feature set

Not ideal for

  • Older systems without Resizable BAR support
  • 1440p and above

Price, value and efficiency

What the card costs, what that price should be for the performance, and what it returns per dollar and per watt.

$219MSRP

Launch MSRP. CompareYourGPU has no verified street price for this card, so this is a reference point rather than what it sells for today.

Fair priceFair price for this performance: $224

Good buy below $206 · expensive above $251

The fair price is where this card’s performance index falls on the price-to-performance line fitted across every card CompareYourGPU tracks. It describes the current market, it is not a recommendation, and it moves when prices do. Calculated from launch MSRP across the database, because no verified street prices are on record.

Performance per dollar

10.0

Performance index points per $100 at 1440p, calculated from launch MSRP.

That places it in the top quarter of the database on value.

Performance per watt

14.7

Performance index points per 100 W of board power at 1440p.

That places it in the bottom quarter of the database on efficiency.

Arc B570 frequently asked questions

Is the Arc B570 good for 1080p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 60-90 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That puts it in the 60+ FPS class at this resolution before upscaling is considered. 10 GB is enough for 1080p today, but it is below the 12 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the Arc B570 good for 1440p gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 40-55 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 10 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
Is the Arc B570 good for 4K gaming?
CompareYourGPU's model estimates roughly 15-25 FPS in a typical modern AAA game at High settings with no upscaling, which is a modelled estimate rather than a measurement. That is below a sustained 60 FPS at this resolution without upscaling. 10 GB is below the 12 GB CompareYourGPU considers the practical floor for 4K. Expect to lower texture settings in recent releases.
How much VRAM does the Arc B570 have?
The Arc B570 has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, giving 380 GB/s of bandwidth. 10 GB is enough for 1440p today, but it is below the 16 GB that removes texture settings from the conversation entirely.
What power supply does the Arc B570 need?
Intel does not publish a system power supply recommendation for this card. It draws 150 W of board power, so CompareYourGPU suggests at least 450 W for a complete system, which is board power plus 300 W of headroom. It uses 1x 8-pin.
Which upscaling technologies does the Arc B570 support?
It supports XeSS 2 Super Resolution, FSR 3.1. For frame generation it supports XeSS 2 Frame Generation. Support for any individual upscaler also depends on the game implementing it, so availability varies title by title.
Is the Arc B570 good for ray tracing?
Its ray tracing index is 20 at 1440p, against a rasterisation index of 22, so it retains about 91% of its standing once ray tracing is enabled. That is a moderate result: ray tracing costs it somewhat more than average. Both figures are CompareYourGPU estimates, not measurements.
How much does the Arc B570 cost?
It launched at $219 MSRP. CompareYourGPU does not publish a current street price because it does not yet carry a verified price feed, so check a retailer for what it actually sells for today.
What competes with the Arc B570?
Its closest competitor from another manufacturer is the RTX 5050 at $249. On CompareYourGPU's estimated 1440p index the Arc B570 is level with it, before ray tracing, memory capacity and upscaling support are taken into account.
