Sparkle Intel Arc B580 TITAN Luna OC (SB580TW-12GOC)

An affordable entry-level graphics card from Sparkle with factory overclocking and an enhanced cooling system, built on the Battlemage architecture with a BGM-G21 chip and 20 Xe2 cores. Straight out of the box, it operates at an increased frequency of 2740 MHz, providing a small performance boost compared to the reference version. The cooling system features three fans that efficiently handle heat dissipation even under prolonged loads, maintaining stable frequencies without throttling.

As for performance, even despite the entry-level price category, the Arc B580 easily delivers a comfortable 50-60 frames per second with high or maximum graphics settings in most modern AAA games. What's more, the Arc 580 appears to be a very viable option for gaming at 1440p resolution, especially if you experiment a bit with graphics settings and occasionally enable the XeSS 2 upscaler.

In particularly demanding games like Black Myth: Wukong, even lowering most settings to medium levels doesn't help much, but such projects are in the minority. Thanks to the expanded 12 GB video memory buffer, Intel graphics cards gain a noticeable advantage over competitors. In fact, for the same money, only the outdated RTX 3060 and Radeon RX 6700 XT can offer 12 GB of video memory, which fall short in terms of energy efficiency and support for new technologies.

The downside of the Sparkle Intel Arc B580 TITAN Luna OC is its rather large dimensions — the model's length is 315 mm (with a thickness of 2.2 slots), requiring a spacious case with a well-thought-out architecture for installation. The recommended power supply capacity is 600-650 watts. Highlighted Features: Factory overclocking provides a performance boost, expanded 12 GB video memory offers an advantage over competitors, three-fan cooling system ensures efficient heat dissipation, and it delivers 50-60 FPS with high settings in modern games, even at 1440p resolution.
