The Intel Arc B580 Steel Legend 12GB OC graphics card is designed to deliver cutting-edge performance with a GPU clock of 2800 MHz and a memory clock of 19 Gbps, powered by Intel® Arc™ B580 architecture with 12GB of 192-bit GDDR6 memory. Built on the advanced Intel® Xe2-HPG architecture, it supports Intel® Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) and Xe Matrix eXtentions (XMX) for AI-enhanced gaming and creative workloads. Featuring Microsoft® DirectX® 12 Ultimate, it is ready for the latest games and technologies. The card includes dual 8-pin power connectors and a variety of outputs—3x DisplayPort™ 2.1 and 1x HDMI™ 2.1—making it suitable for multi-display setups and high refresh rate monitors.
Designed for style and efficiency, the card features integrated ARGB LEDs compatible with Polychrome SYNC for custom lighting effects that can be synced with ASRock motherboards, and even includes an LED switch for manual control. The additional ARGB header allows users to connect strips or other devices for richer lighting effects. A triple fan design provides optimized cooling, enhanced by features like 0dB silent cooling where fans stop entirely during low temperatures for complete silence. The white-themed stylish metal backplate adds a sleek touch while preventing PCB bending.
Thermal efficiency is improved by the air deflecting fin system with V-shaped cuts and vents that guide airflow more effectively. The nickel-plated copper base ensures maximum GPU contact area for efficient thermal transfer, supported by high-density metal welding that seals gaps between the heatpipes and fins. Premium thermal pads and nano thermal paste further improve heat transfer, while precise screw torque ensures optimal mounting pressure without damaging the GPU die.
Internally, the card is built with high-quality components including SP-Caps for stable power delivery, Dr. MOS integrated power stages for higher current and thermal efficiency, and ASRock’s premium power chokes for improved voltage regulation. A 2oz copper PCB enhances energy efficiency and reduces heat for overclocking, while the matte black PCB adds a premium visual aesthetic. The high-density glass fabric PCB design reduces the risk of shorts from humidity, increasing durability.
Performance-wise, this card is ready for 1080p and 1440p gaming with AI upscaling, ray tracing, and modern technologies like XeSS Frame Generation and Xe Low Latency for smoother gameplay. Intel’s regular software updates ensure compatibility with the latest games. Creators benefit from dual media transcoders supporting fast export in popular formats, including AV1, through the powerful Xe media engine. Finally, the card is built to explore the AI frontier with XMX engines and the AI Playground app, enabling users to dive into experiences like AI chatbots and image generation directly from their PC.
