Intel launches Arc B580 graphics card with 12GB of VRAM and competitive performance

Intel has launched its Arc B580 graphics card, priced at $250, featuring 12GB of VRAM. This new model is about 10% faster than Nvidia's RTX 4060, which costs more and has only 8GB of VRAM. The Arc B580 supports advanced features like machine learning and ray tracing. It has shown strong performance in several games, outperforming the RTX 4060 in ray tracing scenarios, although it has some stuttering issues in certain titles. A lower-spec model, the Arc B570, is set to release in January for $220. It will have slightly reduced specifications, including 10GB of VRAM. Intel aims to disrupt the budget GPU market with these offerings.
