Intel's new $220 Arc B570 puts up an impressive fight, and marks a return of truly budget GPU offerings. The Latest Tech News, Delivered to Your Inbox

Intel's Arc B580 graphics cards have been its best-reviewed to date, maintaining the aggressive pricing of the old A-series Arc cards with fewer driver bugs, fewer weird performance outliers, and fewer caveats all around.

It would be so much easier to recommend the Intel Arc B570 if it was a $199 card, rather than $219. At that price, it’d be 20% cheaper and a much better deal than the B580. Instead, when it comes to a pure value perspective, it’s a wash between the two graphics cards, but you’re going to feel the difference in more demanding PC games.

Leaning hard on the cost-effective 1440p GPU for gamers, the ARC B570 has a high bar to reach to beat out other, more established GPUs in its target demographic.
