The place to buy the Intel Arc B580 — all the fully totally different fashions in the meanwhile obtainable

The Intel Arc B580 formally launched in the meanwhile, December 13, 2024. It’s the model new budget-friendly darling of the GPU world, ranking as among the many best graphics taking part in playing cards you should buy — for those who might discover it in stock. We have now scoured the identical previous areas for all the current listings and prices, and whereas many are out of stock already, we depend on offers to reinforce over the approaching weeks.

Confirm our full consider for the effectivity particulars, nonetheless the temporary summary is that the Arc B580 delivers an excellent mixture of effectivity and choices for a unbelievable price, starting at $249. Intel’s private Arc B580 Restricted Model covers the MSRP base price, whereas companion taking part in playing cards range from $249 to $279 formally, nonetheless with retailers in the meanwhile marking some fashions as a lot as $300 and further. Arc B580 turns into decidedly a lot much less spectacular at scalper prices, evidently, and we don’t advocate spending larger than perhaps $300 at most — one thing larger than that and likewise you are larger off searching for to choices like AMD’s RX 7600 XT and even the 7700 XT.

Listed below are all the prices and hyperlinks we’ve got found, along with a rundown of the numerous Arc B580 fashions from the numerous producers.

Furthermore Intel itself, six firms partnered as a lot as produce Arc B580 GPUs, and most have a base model and a greater tier model on present. Discovering official MSRPs for the upgraded variants is a bit tough at present, nonetheless we’d guess most are $269 or $279 — and discovering positive producers available on the market throughout the U.S. might present robust throughout the near-term. Here’s a rundown of the six producers and the obtainable fashions from each.

Intel’s Arc B580 Restricted Model models the bar that everyone else should clear. There’s no RGB lighting, solely a shiny and understated matte black card with a white “Intel ARC” emblem that lights up on excessive. I’m not even optimistic if there’s a technique to flip off the LEDs, if that’s one factor you wanted to do — not all people wants their PC to glow.

With twin followers with built-in rims to reinforce static stress and airflow, the Restricted Model ran cool and quiet in our testing. The once more fan has a passthrough design for airflow, further bettering cooling. It has a single 8-pin vitality connector, which should be enough even with information overclocking. Should you might discover the Restricted Model in stock at $249, it’s a unbelievable buy and a simple suggestion.

Acer has a single model obtainable, the Arc B580 Nitro. It’s attention-grabbing that Acer will not be using the Predator Bifrost branding that it used for it’s earlier expertise Arc A-series GPUs, and likewise a bit attention-grabbing that the Nitro overlaps Sapphire’s branding for Radeon GPUs. The official product net web page has some photographs and specs, and Acer says the cardboard could be on sale at Newegg this month, with Amazon availability in January. The cardboard has an MSRP of $279, $30 larger than the reference model.

We do have the Acer B580 Nitro coming for consider, so preserve tuned for that. The product title moreover signifies some kind of producing unit overclock, however it certainly moreover lists 2850 MHz — the similar as a result of the official card’s improve clock. Whereas Intel specifies a “Graphics Clack” of 2670 MHz, in our testing the Restricted Model ran at a near-constant 2850 MHz, so the third event taking part in playing cards would possibly need to do larger than 2850 MHz if they’ll present any tangible effectivity enhance.

ASRock can be essentially the most recognizable graphics card mannequin for Arc B580, and sure primarily essentially the most accessible. It has two fashions, the white and gray themed Steel Legend OC and the darkish gray Challenger. The Steel Legend moreover has triple followers and RGB lighting, whereas the Challenger has twin followers and, as far as everyone knows, no lighting the least bit.

The Steel Legend OC comes with a Graphics Clock of 2800 MHz, nonetheless seems to have the similar most 2850 MHz improve clock. (You presumably can manually enhance the improve clock, nonetheless the out-of-box experience will run at 2850 MHz based totally on our preliminary check out outcomes, which aren’t full however.) It moreover comes with twin 8-pin vitality connectors, so it should be pleasant to see merely how far we are going to push overclocking with this model. The MSRP is $269.

The Challenger OC has a Graphics Clock of 2740 MHz, nonetheless as well-known above, it will most likely run at 2850 MHz like all the alternative B580 fashions. The MSRP for this one is just $10 cheaper, nonetheless if you would like a further compact dual-fan model and do not love or want RGB lighting, it should be an excellent alternative as successfully.

Gunnir was certainly one of many first Intel Arc companions in 2022, with the Arc A380 launching in China. We have not seen too many Gunnir taking part in playing cards throughout the U.S. nonetheless which can change with the Arc B-series fashions. There are two variants coming, the larger triple-fan Photon and a smaller dual-fan Index. There may be totally different fashions as successfully, as we’ve got seen photographs of a B580 TRI, nonetheless we’ll should attend and see what actually will get launched.

We have now no specs or official pricing particulars for Gunnir however, though there are a couple of massively price inflated listings on Newegg and Amazon. $379 for an Arc B580? No thanks. That seems to be a market scalper / profiteer trying to reap the advantages of the preliminary pleasure.

We have now examined Maxsun motherboards to this point, and the company has now partnered with Intel to make Arc B-series graphics taking part in playing cards. (It has beforehand made AMD and Nvidia graphics taking part in playing cards as successfully, though nothing extra moderen than the RX 500-series and RTX 30-series.)

Maxsun has a much bigger triple-fan iCraft card, which could be white, and a smaller dual-fan black Milestone model. We do anticipate seeing Maxsun graphics taking part in playing cards on sale throughout the U.S. throughout the coming months, and you might even see a variety of older GPUs on Newegg from the mannequin. Specs for every fashions appear to be pure reference (2670 MHz Graphics Clock with a 2850 MHz improve clock), nonetheless we shouldn’t have pricing information however.

Onix is a model new agency for graphics taking part in playing cards, reportedly owned by the similar mom or father agency that owns the Sapphire mannequin. There are two B580 fashions, the upper tier Lumi Arc B580 clad in white, and the underside model Odyssey Arc B580 in black attire. Every are dual-fan designs.

Wanting on the specs, the Lumi does attribute a producing unit overclock of sorts. It has a 2740 MHz Graphics Clock — nonetheless the similar 2850 MHz most improve clock, as far as we’re acutely aware. It moreover has RGB lighting, which reveals up correctly with the white trim. It has a single 8-pin vitality connector as successfully.

The Odyssey B580 sticks with reference specs, and largely appears to be the similar base design as a result of the Lumi, sans RGB lighting and with a black shroud. We shouldn’t have an MSRP for each model, and it’s not clear whether or not or not Onix could be selling taking part in playing cards throughout the U.S. and totally different locations, or if it will primarily be for China.

Wrapping points up, we now have the Sparkle B580 card. Sparkle was one amongst Intel’s companions on the Arc A-series, and we examined an Arc A580 from the company. The B580 mixes points up with what appears to be new and improved medium-gray colored followers. (We have no idea within the occasion that they are actually improved, nonetheless they’re a totally totally different shade on the very least.)

The Titan B580 accommodates a triple-fan design, with a blue respiratory light influence. It comes with a 2740 MHz manufacturing unit overclock, along with a second stage 2800 MHz overclock alternative. It moreover has a blue “S” graphics card help stand. The MSRP for the Sparkle Arc B580 Titan is $269 at Newegg (though it’s in the meanwhile out of stock). We have the Titan for consider as successfully, as quickly as we’ve got accomplished testing.
