Intel's Arc B580 has dropped down below its MSRP in early Black Friday sales, making the GPU one of the best options for budget-oriented gamers.
While Intel's recent Battlemage dGPUs aren't in the spotlight, similar to NVIDIA/AMD GPUs, they do bring awesome value onboard, especially when you factor in the VRAM capacity you are getting. This deal season has brought amazing discounts across the board; however, the newest price drop on Intel's Arc B580 has made it even more compelling. Over at B&H Photo, the GPU is now retailing at $234.99, a $80 drop from the original price tag, and it is also hovering below its official MSRP, a rare feat for modern-day GPUs.
The variant being offered is the Acer Nitro Arc B580, which comes with a dual-fan design that brings in optimal heat dissipation. Moreover, the model also features great aesthetics, meaning you won't have to compromise in any department. And, to top it all off, the 12 GB VRAM capacity onboard makes 1080p/1440p gaming a charm on this GPU, which is why in our review, we have rated it as the best "mainstream option" under the $250 budget segment.
Intel has improved significantly in recent times, not just in terms of GPU performance, but also in its software offerings, such as the XeSS 3 upscaling technology, which is now enhanced with Multi-Frame Generation. Yes, compared to DLSS/FSR, Intel is still lagging behind, but when you consider the company's progress starting with the very first Arc GPUs, they have made significant strides.
