Where to buy Intel Arc B580: UK & US links, and prices
The first of Intel's new Battlemage cards is here.
Intel is launching its second generation of Arc GPUs, with the new B580 'Battlemage' card released on December 13th 2024. Here we've rounded up the places you can purchase the new card in the UK and USA if you want a new GPU that we've found to be a big step up over its predecessor. More integrally, it takes it to Intel and AMD with some aggressive pricing and solid 1080p and 1440p performance against the RTX 4060 and RX 7600, although there are some driver issues present.
