What these numbers mean for the Arc B580

On our index the Arc B580 scores 36.0, which places it 41st of the 89 graphics cards we track and puts it faster than roughly 55% of them.

The nearest part below the Arc B580 is the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER at 35.0, 2.8% slower, and a margin of 2.8% sits inside the run to run variance you would see replaying the same scene in most games.

12 GB of memory is comfortable at 1440p and adequate at 4K in most titles, which puts the Arc B580 on the right side of the memory question for every resolution its 36.0 index score lets it drive.

At 190 W the Arc B580 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.
