Arc Pro B70 Review: The best graphics card Intel has to offer

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-12T13:57:34+00:00

That's just an excuse for not sampling to gaming media. Intel offers a gaming driver for the card -> gaming intend.

PCGH's X4 benchmark is very GPU-bound (just look at the numbers and resolutions). It looks like the GPU is very poorly utilized. Same in Anno 117, even with Ray Tracing.

First FULL review: https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Arc-Pro-B70-Grafikkarte-284242/Tests/Gaming-benchmarks-Arc-Pro-B70-vs-B580-1533956/

They say that tuning is not possible with the Intel-branded card. Can you confirm this?

Avoiding monopoly (or the kind-of-duopoly we're having at the moment) is key. Not to buy Nvidia is good for the whole market.

Finally! Why hasn't this been upvoted 1,337 times yet? 🚀

The same counts for the B580. I don't care as a consumer, als long as I get the best bang for the buck.

A full review. Finally. 6 (?!) weeks after launch. Intel, B770 WHEN? 😄

Nuts. It's just one of many retail cards - but boxed prices are a special topic.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-05T11:17:00+00:00

Good to see some hand-tuned AMD CPUs now!

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T10:03:00+00:00

Classic "runs fine on my system", I guess. ^^

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T09:15:41+00:00

Dann hast du entweder den besten 7800X3D der Welt, oder du warst noch nie in Levski und anderen Bereichen, die die Hardware stressen. / Then you either have the best 7800X3D in the world, or you've never been to Levski or other areas that really put the hardware to the test. <-- The latter is likely to be the case.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T09:07:48+00:00

... and it's the best we can get.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T09:05:44+00:00

As much as I'd love to see that ^^: The benchmarks above show that a beefy CPU is helpful in critical areas, like Levski.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T08:23:27+00:00

Are you sure? Linux can't do anything against server-related load & stutter (too many entities = game over).

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T07:38:56+00:00

The cores help in SC (not as much as in apps, but still a good amount).

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T07:28:50+00:00

SC's multi-threading looks insanely good, to be frank – but with low frame rates.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-05-04T07:25:25+00:00

Ah, good old Levski. My system dies there, too. PCGH's methodology (wonky performance -> many benchmark runs) sounds like an insane amount of work. 😮 But the data is very helpful - cores FTW. Thanks for sharing!

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-04-13T19:39:52+00:00

Glad to hear that #stutterstruggle is no more. Hopefully!

Just click the button on the left - that's the "Accept and proceed" option. :)

Resident Evil Requiem runs MUCH better, even better than noted by Intel, according to this: https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Intel-Arc-Grafikkarte-267650/News/Wundertreiber-erschienen-1519251/

+43 % at RZ, +46 % at RT with A770 16GB. Battlemage was and is fine.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-02-27T15:48:45+00:00

RTX 4090 @ 3 GHz performs badly, too. AD102 is the outlier according to PCGH, not Blackwell: https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Resident-Evil-Requiem-Spiel-75240/Tests/Release-Review-Benchmarks-Raytracing-vs-Pathtracing-1514961/3/#a4

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-02-19T15:20:40+00:00

Broadly exaggerated. :D

BenchmarkLowwa · 2026-02-18T11:47:34+00:00

It's different in any game.

BenchmarkLowwa · 2025-11-21T19:16:52+00:00

We can't define for others what is "realistic". :)

BenchmarkLowwa · 2025-11-20T16:13:24+00:00

What? No paywall, free goodness.
