This week’s Techconseil podcast is dedicated to the Intel Arc B580.

Jan and Fabian discuss in detail the benchmarks and other results from the new GPU testing course.
CB Radio: the ninety-fifth episode
What did Intel learn from the 1st generation Arc graphics cards with “Alchemist” GPU? The Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition test provides the answer. For the first time, it builds on the updated GPU test course, including the latest test results from competitors Nvidia GeForce RTX and AMD Radeon RX. And Jan and Fabian also report in the podcast the performance of the new B580 in direct comparison.
In addition to the Full HD and WHQD benchmarks with and without ray tracing, the conversation also covers the answer to the 6th question of the Santa Claus contest, the power consumption and efficiency of the Battlemage GPU, the limited edition cooling system of ‘Intel. , new drivers, XeSS 2 with frame generation and the current pricing structure in the entry-level GPU class.
The conclusion of the test is also based on the latter – and it does not see much black and white, but in this price range it is mainly and always predominantly gray: there is no unqualified recommendation for the Arc B580, but this also applies to counterparts from Nvidia and AMD. We hope you enjoy listening!
