The Intel Arc B580 is currently the most powerful model in Intel’s new generation graphics card lineup. The ASRock Steel Legend 12GB OC version offers more efficient cooling, very low noise levels, and striking ARGB lighting compared to the base models. Its performance beats the RTX 3060, but it falls behind newer rivals. Compared to cards like the RTX 5060 or RX 9060 XT, it stands out more for its larger memory than for its price-to-performance ratio.
Clocks, Temperatures & Fan Speeds—Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, 2560 × 1440
The next set of data comes from the Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition benchmark with Extreme settings. The test is run at 3840 × 2160 resolution with the Extreme profile.
The GPU clock speed remains stable at 2850 MHz.
In Metro, the card does peak above 200 W, but only sporadically. Power consumption fluctuates during the test, which often indicates that overhead is occasionally limiting the card. This usually suggests it would perform better with a more powerful processor, though few gaming processors currently outperform the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
Chip temperatures are slightly higher at 67.0 °C. Memory temperatures reach 70 °C.
Fans again reach up to 1250 RPM.
