ASRock Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend OC 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

Smart priced PC graphics' card just watch the drivers! There are many options that seam to cripple older games especially with this card I have noticed that it especially seams to hate HDR in many old games leave this option on and your cripple your FPS and become crash city. I like it has 12 GB of memory far better than the 4060 it is competing with and far better priced. With the latest games it goes toe to toe with NVidia cards I believe and once you work out the quirks with older cards this is really a 1440P killer card IMHO. Just go in with your eyes open if you want absolutes then your have to pay more if your happy to fiddle with options to get the best and don't want to pay over 400 then this is the card for you.

Love the colour! It’s fast enough for cities skyline 2. 1440 and 4K .

Truly amazing the card build quality is probably the best out of any B580, the 3 fan design and massive heat sink keep this card sitting at 50-60c even under load, when the card is at around 50c the fans turn off completely and can passively cool itself which is incredible. Most demanding game I have tested this on is battlefield 6 and paired with a R7 5700x3d, I get around 90-110fps at 1440p with a mix of high-ultra settings, XeSS enabled as well. Upgraded to this card from 2070 super and can easily say it’s far superior. Overall highly recommend this card, key things to note to maximise performance are to turn ReBar on in bios and download the intel arc driver updater app to keep the drivers up to date as performance is constantly being improved every update.

Why did you choose this product over others?: The Card itself gets a 5 out of 5 - It loses 1 star because the box didn't have a security seal on it and the Sealed bag containing the card opened way too easily with the seal! Is it brand new and unused? Suspicions there... Anyway, the card itself? Plugged it into my system & as it's plugged into a 4k 50inch TV, I've gone for the HDMI port. Recognized straight away by the bios & quick check to make sure the resize-able BAR option was enabled, booted into windows, Downloaded the drivers and away I went. So it's running the O/S @ 4k but as the card is optimal for 2k gaming, this is the resolution I play games at. I've tweaked a few settings via the Intel driver Util for optimal FPS that the TV can handle. Now I can only go by what games I play & as the vast majority are online MMOs, I DON'T need super delux HQ GOD Mode GFX Settings. It's all about the ping & minimal server/input lag.. Also, you're going to get vastly different results depending on your system setup/config. I've got this paired with an AM5 Ryzen 5 8500g (there's a reason), 32gb DDR5 @ 5600mt/s running on a 650 AMD chipset. The CPU (before you roll your eyes) is due to fact this card only runs at PCI express 4.0 x 8. And the CPU is only PCI express 4.0 x 14 (of which only 10 are available). The memory is also running faster than the rated CPU controller (5600mt/s vs 5200mt/s) As I always upgrade the CPU/GPU at the same time, this is a non issue for me. Anyway, the card itself has exceeded all expectations. Expecting FPS in the 30-60fps region, I've been getting 120fps.. with max settings!! And that's minimum! At 2k resolution (and I have the FPS set to 240fps Cap) it's been happily chugging along at... 240fps!! That's with no Screen tearing, Upscaling or Artifacting & 1% lows of 220fps so a smooth MMO gaming experience. I've not tried this on any of the latest titles out there so I can't comment on those. Same as other uses for the card - I've no idea if this card is suitable for Video editing, ect. I've also not tried any games at 1080p or 4k - Only the resolution the card is optimized for. Apologies for the vagueness of the actual games - I can only go by my experience. The card also comes with built in RBG lighting - you'll need to download the Util from ASRock to be able to play with the settings though I found the software buggy! The RBG lighting on the card will either freeze or go mental until you reboot. I expect a future update will fix this. If you're buying this card then I'm guessing you're not going to be rocking one of the latest top end CPU's which leads me to believe it's been optimized for lower tier CPU's. I'm just super surprised how well the card performs when paired with AMD.. Who knew eh? On a final note. the audio is also piped through HDMI & as I've got a Dolby Atmos surround setup, YES, It does decode into this (needs the Dolby App for codecs) & Also DTS:X as well (Another App!). A Fantastic Card which I'm super happy with (no more NVIDIA.. Yay!)

What a pile of junk! The writeups had this down as a level performer - when you get it to work. This card was being installed into a high spec system, Gigabyte motherboard with DDR5 RAM and a 14th gen cpu. Don’t buy the board if you are replacing another GPU - I’d taken out a RTX 3080 and was replacing it with this new card. It refused to load the Intel software even when cleaned down in safe mode. It’s on its way back for a return or the scrap heap. Not value for money and bad experiences all around.

No material impact on performance vs an older graphics card - feels like we have wasted money on this

Absolutely best value for the money. B580 punches way above its weight and the ASRock implementation is rock solid, very quiet and has overclocking potential despite not being an enthusiast model. While checking overclocking potential the card broke the 3dMark record for B580 with 5600GT combo. I will run it at stock values as performance is sufficient in all games I’ve thrown at it in 3440x1440 but the potential is there. Stability is great with the latest intel drivers (January, 2026) and installation is painless as long as you use the intel driver assistant (rather than intel graphics driver installer directly, which is sensitive to Windows shenanigans). Paired with Asus B550M Wifi II, Ryzen 5 5600GT with stock cooler and Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) inherited from the previous build. Congratulations to ASRock for building a great product and thanks from a middle aged engineer with too little spare time and funds.

An excellent GPU, FOR BOTH PRODUCTIVITY AND GAMING, Sadly after i bought i realized it's not compatible with my pc my motherboard as it's PCI3 with no rebar.

Amazing. Been using for more than 6 months. I picked it up when the GPU market was a mess. All GPUs were going for like 30% over their MSRP. This card fit well in my budget. I paired this card with a Ryzen 7600x CPU and 32GB DDR5 RAM. I play on a 1440p monitor and it has run everything I have thrown at it with very few problems. Intel XESS works really well in most games and a lot more games are supporting it. Games that don't I've been using TAA or FSR. I ran all these games mostly at high settings usually with XESS upscaling and sometimes frame gen: Fortnite/Marvel Rivals/ Call of Duty Black Ops 6 / Battlefield 2042/ Battlefield 6 / Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth / Kingdom Come : Deliverance 2 / Cyberpunk 2042 / Elden Ring / Indian Jones The only game I personally had a problem with was Avowed on Xbox game pass. Even though it was not as a demanding game as some others I play, for some reason it just looked and ran really badly. I have no Idea why. I'm sure an update would fix it.

Llevo usándola alrededor de 5 meses, y en este tiempo me ha Sido muy fácil actualizarla, puedo correr juegos con gráficos al máximo(RDR2) teniendo 90 fps estables.

Ich habe diese Karte als Ersatz für meine GeForce GTX 1660 Super gekauft, du Ie mir lange gute Dienste geleistet hat, aber mit Anno 117 an ihre Grenzen gestoßen ist. Die ASRock Intel Arc B580 ist eine gute Wahl für alle, die aktuelle Spiele halbwegs ansehnlich spielen wollen. Für Shooter oder Grafik Fetischisten ist diese Karte nicht gemacht, für Simulationen perfekt. Ich schreibe keine FPS oder sonstigen Daten hier rein, die kann man einfach googlen. Subjektiv bin ich von der Grafikleistung aber sehr beeindruckt. Die Karte ist deutlich lauter als meine 1660, aber im akzeptablen Bereich. Hören tut man sie, stören tut das nicht. Hauptargument ist natürlich der Preis. Im Vergleich zu anderen Marken ist die Karte erschwinglich. Von mir klare Kaufempfehlung. Wen Lautstärke nicht stört, der kann ein um 30-50€ günstigeres Alternativprodukt mit gleichem Chip kaufen. Die Grafikleistung ist nahezu identisch. Ich hatte vorher eine ASRock B580 Challenger. Die war mutabler tatsächlich zu laut.
