*Price sourced from Amazon.com. Price and availability subject to change.
Bottom line: how fast is the Arc B580?
At 1440p (Highest), the Arc B580 averages 144 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, per NoobFeed. For local LLM inference it generates 850.0 tokens/sec running qwen3:30b at FP16 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 18,500 pts, per TechPowerUp. Its 12 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: that capacity fits 8-13B-parameter models at Q4_K_M.
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 Arc B580 is a graphics card from the Battlemage family released in 2024 from Intel. Key on-paper specs include 12 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 190W TDP.
