A peek at the cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intel Arc graphics are unwavering in our mission to bring balance back to the GPU market. That\u2019s especially true for the new A-series GPU: the Intel Arc A580, striking some of the most impressive performance-per-dollar yet. We\u2019ll get into tech specs further down, let\u2019s take a look at each of our three manufacturing partners\u2019 graphics cards first. Today we unveil the ASRock Intel Arc A580 Challenger 8GB OC, GUNNIR Intel Arc A580 Index 8G (dual-fan) and Photon 8G OC (triple fan, coming soon), and SPARKLE Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASRock is left above, keeping it stealthy with a brushed black shroud and clear fans. In the middle, the GUNNIR Index is rocking sleek high-tech aesthetics. SPARKLE is at the right, with its distinctive blue twin-fan design and branded PCIe shield. Availability and prices vary by country and retailer.

Tech specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No matter which card you choose, the graphics processor at the center of the board is the same across all three. The Intel Arc A580 GPU not only gives you another choice when building and upgrading your PC, it also adds a whole new tier to our desktop graphics cards. It debuts the Intel Arc A5 family, sitting between the high-performance A750 & A770 and the budget-friendly A380 GPUs. The Intel Arc A3, A5, and A7 families might remind you of our Intel Core\u2122 processor tiers: each level up through i3, i5, and i7 means more performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the Intel Arc A580 situated between the A380 and A750, its hardware specs are closer to the A750. You\u2019ll find the same amount of VRAM in both models (8 GB) with equal memory bandwidth. What sets the new Intel Arc A580 apart is its number of Xe<\/sup>-cores, the bits that carry out graphics computations. It features 24 of those, close to the top end of the A-Series specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the inclusion of \u201cOC\u201d in most of the add-in board names suggest, our partners have opted to overclock their versions of the Intel Arc A580. All three cards are set to run at 2000 MHz, about 18% faster than Intel\u2019s 1700 MHz spec above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced gaming performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Intel Arc A580 takes advantage of all the Game On driver updates for new and legacy games we\u2019ve published over the last year. Combine that software engineering with the capable hardware above and you\u2019ve got a graphics card capable of handling even the latest games at 1080p High settings, like Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Those two run at over 60 FPS natively on the A580, but there\u2019s more performance to be had from these cards yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
