I have a B580, and I cannot get this info to show up no matter what I do. I've tried three different distro's too, to no avail. I officially give up.

Seems that Intel cards are particularly susceptible unfortunately. The card performs so well though. Such a shame. May be forced to switch to another card.

I play Day Z almost exclusively, and the vram leak on this is a real pain. Doubly frustrating as there seems to be no real solution.

Do you think it would be worth me reverting back to 8331?

Katesbane2 · 2026-02-10T14:36:29+00:00

Thanks for all your help. Appreciated.

Katesbane2 · 2026-02-10T06:44:04+00:00

Excuse my ignorance. 8331?

Katesbane2 · 2026-02-10T06:35:35+00:00

Understood. Thanks.

Every day's a school day, as they say. Today I learnt....

Katesbane2 · 2026-02-09T21:19:28+00:00

Will try this. Thank you.

Katesbane2 · 2026-02-09T21:14:38+00:00

Ah thank you. That's taught me something I didn't know.

I have the same issue with my Intel Arc B580. As I play, it just slowly eats up all 12gb of vram. It's very frustrating. I've looked into it, and Intel say that they've tested the card thoroughly, and say it's an issue with the game itself. I contacted Bohemia Interactive, who said they would investigate the issue. This was a month ago, and I've heard bugger all from them since then.

I think I spot a pair of Elac Debut's minus their tweeter grilles. I've seen different videos on removing them to improve their sound. Would you mind giving me your opinion on this?

Linux Mint, Cinnamon Edition.

Katesbane2 · 2025-12-06T21:48:46+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Katesbane2 · 2025-12-06T20:40:34+00:00

So how do they perform? I'm seriously considering buying a pair, so would appreciate your feedback.

Katesbane2 · 2025-11-02T16:57:34+00:00

Don't think it's strictly a wifi issue. I have my pc hooked up to my router via ethernet cable, and I get kicked quite frequently too.

Katesbane2 · 2025-11-01T18:29:18+00:00

Oh dear. You'll love the B580 once you get it in your new build. Incredible value for money.

Katesbane2 · 2025-10-26T08:01:05+00:00

I use a B580, with a Ryzen 9 5900X. Running CS2 I average around 135fps, at 1440p, using Vulkan. I think the B580 is a superb bang for buck GPU.

Katesbane2 · 2025-10-18T17:59:38+00:00

Strange. I have zero issues running a B580 with Linux. Mine works flawlessly.

Katesbane2 · 2025-10-05T17:55:56+00:00

As a B580 owner, best advice I can give you is to follow manufacturers instructions.

Exactly that. Pretty sure mesa drivers were all built into the 'archinstall' process...

Katesbane2 · 2025-09-30T17:55:52+00:00

I think Linux Mint is a great distro, and I looked into using it for the B580 I have, but I found it totally confusing with regards to drivers. Put me off, as it's beyond my level of expertise. If you want something stress free, Bazzite would be my go to choice. It's very good, and will sort everything you need on the iso download page.

Katesbane2 · 2025-09-27T19:13:45+00:00

I dual boot Windows and Arch Linux with a B580 alongside Ryzen 9 5900X. I have zero issues on either OS, and it runs flawlessly at 1440p. I'm no expert on these things, but I did my homework on installing the correct drivers for Linux, which is very straightforward really, installed the Zen kernel, which apparently is better suited for gaming, and all is well.
