Bottom line: how fast is the Intel Arc A580?

At 1440p (Maximum), the Intel Arc A580 averages 93 fps in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, per Gamers Nexus. For local LLM inference it generates 18.0 tokens/sec running qwen3:8b under ollama, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Solar Bay it scores 40,830 points, per Comparigon (3DMark). Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 7B-parameter models at Q4.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

The Intel Arc A580 is a graphics card from the Alchemist family released in 2023 from Intel. Key on-paper specs include 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 185W TDP.
