Intel has just surprisingly released a new graphics card – what can the Intel Arc A580 do for under 200 euros?

Intel has introduced a new graphics card out of nowhere. The manufacturer wants to primarily target gamers who play in Full HD.

The manufacturer Intel has been offering graphics cards in addition to processors for several months. Now, surprisingly, a new graphics card has been shown: the Intel Arc A580. What can the graphics card do? MeinMMO presents you with initial information and details about the new graphics card.

The Intel Arc A580 is a Full HD graphics card for under 200 euros

What can the graphics card do? Intel itself presents the graphics card as a product that wants to offer smooth Full HD. Take Baldur’s Gate, Diablo 4 or Cyberpunk 2077 as examples:

  • In Cyberpunk 2077, the graphics card should achieve 85 FPS with upscaling technology activated
  • Baldur’s Gate 3 can reach 90 FPS natively
  • In Diablo 4, Intel’s Arc A580 should achieve a whopping 155 FPS.
  • With Xᵉ Super Sampling you also have an upscaler in your luggage, as AMD and Nvidia have been delivering to gamers for some time now: A low resolution is calculated and then scaled up to the real resolution.

    When will the graphics card be available? Intel’s new A580 should be available starting today. Intel probably doesn’t sell any model itself, instead the three providers are called ASRock, GUNNIR and Sparkle. Prices should start at 180 euros. This puts you at about the same level as a GeForce RTX 3050 or a Radeon RX 6500 XT.

    What could be a catch? Intel only wants to deliver its new Arc A580 with 8 GB of video memory. This could be pretty tight in the long run. Because 8 GB of video memory is no longer necessarily considered future-proof, as games are taking up more and more video memory.

    The Xbox Series S is currently showing the problem with too little video memory in new games. Because this is where the small console quickly reaches its limits:
