Intel Arc B570 review: a budget GPU that's too good to be true?


Digital Foundry tests the Intel B570. On this page: we introduce our test system, benchmarking methodology and initial impressions.

Intel's Arc B580 graphics card impressed us a few months back, thanks to genuinely decent performance with plenty of VRAM at a mainstream price, but we never got around to reviewing the even cheaper B570 model - until now. Of course, these results don't exist in a vacuum, and it's instructive to look at how the Arc cards compare to their nearest AMD and Nvidia equivalents when it comes to power efficiency. If we look at those Alan Wake 2 results in pure effiency terms, measured in joules per frame, the RTX 4060 is the outright leader at 3.19, followed by the other three cards grouped tightly together: AMD at 3.98, B580 at 4.03 and B570 at 4.06.
