Intel has released a new driver update for the new Intel Arc B580, which fixes a few game-related issues and outlines some of the known outstanding ones.

A new card with an Intel Arc B580 GPU has been spotted, and this one has a unique layout that runs a pair of M.2 SSDs at the same time.

Intel's second effort at breaking into the graphics card duopoly looks promising, but the company took its time getting here.

Speaking to The Verge, Intel spokesperson Mark Anthony Ramirez said, “We expect weekly inventory of the Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition graphics card and are working with partners to ensure a steady availability of choices in the market.

When Intel debuted its first Arc video cards two years ago, I was more than a little skeptical. Could a company that famously gave up on its last major desktop GPU project in 2009 actually make a dent in a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD?

Sliding in just below the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060's typical price -- $280 versus $249 -- and a little above its typical performance, Intel's Arc B580 graphics card makes a nice impression as a step-up-from-entry upgrade for older PC.

Positive reviews and tests have led to brisk sales of the Intel Arc B580. Initial stocks of these $250 graphics cards, performing on par with NVIDIA R

It seems Intel has some work to do on Battemage’s Linux support as the B580 is much faster on Windows than on Linux, when normally it’s the other way around for Intel graphics.
