Intel Arc B570

The Intel Arc B570 provides the same kind of value as the Arc B580. But despite offering a similar price-to-performance ratio, it has a tougher time maintaining 60 fps when pushed to its limits. This means if you want to play demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Black Myth Wukong, the B570 will really start to struggle.

For its price, it's genuinely excellent, especially for getting you a card capable of ray-traced gameplay, but for just a little bit more, you can get a lot better with the B580.

The Arc B570 packs an attractive 10GB VRAM buffer at a low price, but it struggles to provide tangible value relative to its Battlemage sibling and rival graphics cards.

While the Intel Arc B570 might be overshadowed by the Arc B580 and its also stunning value, for users on a tight budget, the new graphics card delivers another compelling budget option with a great 10 GB VRAM. With no mainstream options from the competition in sight for the next few months, the Arc Battlemage lineup has all it needs to become a budget PC builder delight.

Taken in isolation, the B570 has all the makings of a solid entry-level GPU, and it's particularly pleasing to see the 10GB framebuffer in this market segment. However, it needs a more aggressive price to step out from the B580's shadow, while the pricing situation in the UK is even more problematic.

The Arc B570 GPU is a perfectly capable graphics card for 1080p and some 1440p gaming. It's capable with AI workloads as well, and XeSS 2 with Frame Generation will surely find its way into more games sooner than later, improving the value of both B570 and B580 cards even further. If Intel had its partners knock roughly $20 off the price, this product would make a very compelling case for itself at $199.
