Arc B570 vs Arc A580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc B570 vs Arc A580
The Arc B570 is marginally faster, around 6% ahead of the Arc A580. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc B570 currently lists from $256 EUR, $4 EUR less than the Arc A580 at $259 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc B570 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 8%. The Arc A580 still sits about $80 EUR above its $179 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 150W against 175W, the Arc B570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Battlemage architecture on a TSMC N5 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc B570 carries 10GB versus 8GB on the Arc A580. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Arc A580's memory is also faster — 512 GB/s versus 380 GB/s (256-bit vs 160-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc B570 is roughly 2 years newer than the Arc A580 (Battlemage vs Alchemist), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: Arc A580 or Arc B570?
The Arc B570 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Arc A580 if you find it at a steep discount.
