Hardware canucks 5 days ago(the intel arc B580 is broken), hardware unboxed 4 days ago (B580 overhead issue upgraders beware) and then updated with more testing 3 days ago to address skeptics (B580 overhead issue Ryzen 5…).
The performance loss is worse in older processors so it will impact the upgrade market the most which will be this card. Its a budget card perfect for upgrades. Not any more.
Yes, all of that is for old systems, like 6+ years old, as was stated earlier. Intel has been clear about needing a recent-ish CPU (Intel 10th gen or AMD 3000 series) with resizeable bar support enabled. So if you’re seeing terrible performance, options are:
upgrade CPU - a 5600X runs ~$120 and works with many older boards
hack around missing option for resizable bar support
wait for Intel to address the problem
buy a different GPU - RX 6700 XT is a good deal used
If you’re building a new system or upgrading from an APU, the B580 is a phenomenal deal. If your system is 6+ years old, you’ll probably want to upgrade your CPU anyway.
