Intel Arc B580 GPU Review - Drivers, Drivers, Drivers!

Two years on from the launch of Intel's Alchemist discrete GPUs, the next generation has arrived in the form of the Battlemage series, and today we can present our review of the Intel Arc B580. Hitting the market at $249, Intel claims that the B580 is 10% faster than the Nvidia RTX 4060, while also offering superior cost per frame, alongside a larger 12GB framebuffer. It certainly sounds good on paper, but there's plenty more to the story...
