Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall then, across the 12 games tested, the A580 delivered an average of 70FPS at 1080p. That makes it 6% slower than the RX 6600 looking at the average frame rate, but it's actually 9% slower in terms of the 1% lows. It's also 6% ahead of the RTX 2060, but just 7% behind the Arc A750.

1440p is slightly more impressive for the A580, but not every game can run at a decent frame rate as we saw. Still, here it is now 5% faster than the RX 6600, while it comes in 8% slower than the RTX 3060, while it's 10% behind the A750.
