Overall, I'm pretty happy with my Intel Arc B580, if framegen helps me squeeze out a little bit more life out of that card before it becomes more or less obsolete, then I'll gladly take it.
Though, to be honest, with the amounts of UE5 slop out there, I'll probably need to give an unreasonable amount of my money to Nvidia or AMD sooner or later (since many games don't exactly let you turn off Lumen and Nanite).
It's just unfortunate that Intel themselves won't provide the much needed market competition in the form of a B770.
- cubefox 8mo agoAn Arc B580 should easily be enough to play most games with Lumen and Nanite at reasonable resolution and frame rate, especially if the game also supports XeSS or even XeSS 3.
- KronisLV 8mo agoIt’s very hit or miss. Something like Split Fiction is delightful, Satisfactory is satisfactory with the right settings, Incursion Red River is pushing it, STALKER 2 is barely playable and The Forever Winter is unplayable trash. All on 1080p by the way, on progressively lower graphics settings and recent drivers, the latter half can’t get stable 60 FPS. I even lowered everything and ran Forever Winter at 10% resolution scale, it still wasn’t a smooth 60, whereas others report better success on different hardware. It’s abysmal cause something like War Thunder easily gets hundreds of FPS (with RT off) and the likes of Cyberpunk and KDC also run great. It saddens me how much of a mess UE5 can be, their defaults should be way different.
- cubefox 8mo ago> STALKER 2 is barely playable Maybe this was an issue with performance bugs in the early release version, not with the graphics card. This looks very playable to me: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iaPakspSiL8 https://youtube.com/watch?v=iaPakspSiL8
