With the recent launch of Battlemage, is Intel finally ready to compete with AMD and Nvidia, or is it another missed opportunity? In this video, the next in our "Is It Worth It" upgrade series, we are going to find out. In the "Is It Worth It?" series we’ve been helping you make the right choice by showing you just how much you can expect to increase performance with a drop-in upgrade. In this video our focus will be on the new Intel Battlemage Arc B580 GPU, and specifically how it compares to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT. In addition to showing you benchmarks across 18 games, I’m also going to show you how Battlemage compares with first generation Intel Alchemist GPUs, and how easy it is to overclock. And if you stick around, I will show you what’s next for Battlemage with release of the higher-end B770 cards, something you will definitely not want to miss. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Component Top Picks: ASRock Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend 12GB OC = https://howl.link/wqhntavd44y0z Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition = https://howl.link/q2fiuqh4pc0l9 SPARKLE Intel Arc B580 TITAN OC = https://howl.link/j2w6svzdml2n1 GUNNIR Intel Arc B580 12GB Photon OC = https://amzn.to/40QT5gT PNY GeForce RTX 4060 8GB XLR8 Gaming Verto = https://amzn.to/3Q7qsY1 Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB = https://amzn.to/4gvbTrV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Is The Intel Arc B580 Really Worth It? 🔥 Plus B770 Benchmarks! 🔥 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:23 - Video Focus: Intel B580 vs Nvidia 4060 vs AMD 7600 XT 01:00 - Intel Arc GPUs 02:29 - Can Battlemage Compete? 03:48 - Test Setup & Components 04:58 - Test Methodology 05:49 - Benchmarks (B580 vs 4060 vs 7600 XT) 05:52 - Cinebench R24 05:57 - AIDA64 Extreme 06:02 - 3DMark Time Spy Extreme 06:07 - 3DMark Speed Way + Port Royal + Steel Nomad 06:12 - Geekbench 6 06:17 - Total War: Warhammer III 06:22 - Cyberpunk 2077 06:27 - Company of Heroes 3 06:32 - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 06:37 - Forza Horizon 5 06:42 - Civilization VI 06:47 - Shadow of the Tomb Raider 06:52 - Red Dead Redemption 2 06:57 - Middle-Earth: Shadow of War 07:02 - Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy 07:07 - Formula 1 2024 07:12 - Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 07:17 - The Talos Principle II 07:22 - Far Cry 6 07:27 - Horizon Zero Dawn 07:32 - Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora 07:37 - Assassin's Creed Mirage 07:42 - Black Myth: Wukong 07:47 - 17 Game Average 08:02 - Can The Intel Arc B580 Be Overclocked? 09:11 - Will An Intel Arc B770 Be Able To Compete? 09:42 - Fundamental Assumptions & Technical Approach 10:33 - Intel Arc B770 Performance Prediction 11:51 - Benchmark Performance Summary 12:39 - Cost & Value 13:17 - Final Recommendation 14:08 - Wrap-Up --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for watching this video in the "Is It Worth It?” upgrade series.
