About the Intel Arc B580 GPU

The Intel Arc B580 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q4 2024 with a MSRP of $249. It is built on the Xe2 GPU microarchitecture (codename BMG-G21) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The Arc B580 has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,375 MHz memory clock and a 192 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 456 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Arc B580 includes 2,560 shading units, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,670 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,670 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 160 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 80 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 160 Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) optimized for AI workloads and 20 ray tracing units dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The Arc B580 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1 display connections. Intel recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 190 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Arc B580 has the 56th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.48% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 38,258 score and $249 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 153.65. This is the 5th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2025 with a MSRP of $299. It is built on the Blackwell 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename GB206) and is manufactured on a 5 nm process.

Memory

The RTX 5060 has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory, with a 1,750 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 448 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RTX 5060 includes 3,840 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 2,280 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,497 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 120 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 48 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 120 tensor cores optimized for AI-accelerated workloads and 30 RT cores dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RTX 5060 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1b, DisplayPort 2.1b display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 145 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RTX 5060 has the 39th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 566 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 36.37% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. Its 47,201.5 score and $299 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 157.86. This is the 4th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
