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.
Cyberpunk 2077, native resolution tests
Ultra, RT Ultra and RT Overdrive settings
The first set of tests compares performance at native resolution with different anti-aliasing methods. Traditional aliasing performs slightly worse in terms of image quality compared to using FSR or DLSS at native resolution, i.e., in Native AA or DLAA mode.
Different anti-aliasing methods vary in image quality, and currently, the highest-quality DLSS only works on GeForce. GeForce owners have no reason to choose anything other than DLSS. To compare performance across both GeForce and Radeon cards, we will also test all cards with FSR.
For weaker cards, we measure performance at Ultra settings without ray tracing, while for more powerful cards, we also test RT Ultra and RT Overdrive with path tracing.
Global settings Ultra
The lower Ultra settings are tested primarily for older cards. Powerful cards are bottlenecked by the CPU, so the performance increase does not correspond to the raw performance of the cards. Ray tracing is not used, and we can manage without DLSS.

Global settings RT Ultra
RT Ultra settings utilize hybrid ray tracing, combining rasterization with ray tracing effects, and are suitable for comparing the performance of recent-generation cards.

Global settings RT Overdrive
RT Overdrive settings use path tracing, employing full ray tracing for scene rendering. On GeForce, DLAA with transformers is utilized.
