Intel launches its second generation of Arc GPUs, with the new B580 'Battlemage' card released on December 13, 2024. Here we've rounded up where you can buy the new card in the UK and US if you want a new GPU that we think is a major step up from its predecessor. More broadly, it targets Intel and AMD with aggressive pricing and solid 1080p and 1440p performance compared to the RTX 4060 and RX 7600, although some driver issues are present.
