Intel Arc A580
Specifications, where the Arc A580 sits for gaming, the processor worth pairing with it, and the frame rate the pair returns at every resolution.
Ryzen 5 4500
The Arc A580 and the Ryzen 5 4500 return about 34 fps on High at 1440p with neither part wasting the other. A processor slower than the Ryzen 5 4500 leaves the Arc A580 idling, and a faster one adds no frames to a Arc A580 at this resolution.

What these numbers mean for the Arc A580
On our index the Arc A580 scores 25.0, which places it 65th of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 27% of them.
The Arc A580 and the GeForce RTX 2060 land on exactly the same index score of 25.0, so on raw throughput the two are interchangeable and the choice between them comes down to memory, power draw and price on the day.
8 GB of memory is the figure to watch on the Arc A580: workable at 1080p, tight at 1440p on high presets, and short of what a handful of recent titles want, which on a 8 GB card shows up as stutter rather than a lower frame counter and so gets misdiagnosed as the Arc A580 simply being slow.
At 185 W the Arc A580 sits in the mainstream power bracket, so a competent supply of around 500 W total handles the whole machine and cooling is a matter of normal case airflow rather than special planning.
Released in 2023, the Arc A580 is a card most people now meet on the used market or in an existing build rather than on a shelf, and after 3 years the only price worth judging a Arc A580 on is what it costs today.
Arc A580 frame rate at each resolution
The Arc A580 paired with the Ryzen 5 4500 on the High preset with 16 GB of system memory. The card is the limit throughout, so the Arc A580 falls the full 72% from 46 fps to 13 fps as the pixel count rises.
| Resolution | Estimated fps | Limited by |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p (1920 x 1080) | 46 fps | Balanced |
| 1440p (2560 x 1440) | 34 fps | GPU |
| 4K (3840 x 2160) | 13 fps | GPU |
How the Arc A580 compares
6 cards sit within 30% of the Arc A580 on our gaming index, running from the Radeon RX 7600 at +28% to the Arc B570 at +20%, a window narrow enough that price, memory and power decide it rather than raw speed.
What to pair with the Arc A580, and when to upgrade
When the Arc A580 becomes the limit, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB is the next step worth paying for: 40.0 on our index against 25.0, a jump of 60%, which is roughly where an upgrade stops being something you have to look at a counter to notice. See its specs.
