Intel Arc B580 Prices Stabilize at $249 Across Major Retailers
After months of unstable pricing and limited availability, the Intel Arc B580 has finally settled closer to its official MSRP. Launched in December 2024, the Battlemage flagship initially suffered from a paper launch, with prices often exceeding $300–$350 and scarce stock compared to competing GPUs. Now, with stronger supply, buyers can find the Arc B580 for as low as $249, making it the most affordable it has been since launch.
At the time of writing, several major retailers including Newegg and Walmart are listing both reference and custom designs at or near MSRP:
While a few factory-overclocked variants remain listed at nearly $350, the majority of Arc B580 models have normalized in the $249–$280 range, finally aligning with consumer expectations.
The Arc B580 is currently the flagship GPU of Intel’s Battlemage lineup, built on the BMG-G21 GPU die. It features:
20 Xe2 cores
12 GB GDDR6 memory
192-bit bus
190W TDP
In terms of performance, the Arc B580 competes against the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, offering solid 1440p gaming capabilities. While it falls behind newer mid-range options like the RX 9060 XT and RTX 5060, the Arc B580 retains a VRAM advantage with its 12 GB buffer, giving it a longer lifespan for modern titles that demand higher memory capacity.
With stable availability and prices now reaching official MSRP, the Arc B580 has become a more compelling option for budget-conscious gamers looking for reliable 1440p performance. Its combination of competitive pricing, strong feature set, and generous VRAM may finally allow Intel’s Battlemage series to establish firmer ground in the GPU market.
Do you think Intel’s Arc B580 can carve out a bigger share of the mid-range GPU market now that pricing has stabilized, or will AMD and NVIDIA’s stronger ecosystems still dominate?
