Intel Arc A580 Review ft. Sparkle Orc

Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. The story takes place in Night City, an open world set in the Cyberpunk universe. Players assume the first-person perspective of a customisable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. Cyberpunk 2077 was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020. (Wikipedia).

Engine: REDengine 4. We test using the High preset, with RT Shadows enabled and RT Lighting set to Medium. DLSS/FSR are disabled. DXR API.

In terms of ray tracing, if we start with the Cyberpunk 2077, even using the RT Medium preset at 1080p – which only engages RT Shadows and RT Lighting – frame rates fall considerably and the 1% lows drop below 30FPS with the A580. It is massively faster than the RX 6600, but that's purely academic at this point as you simply wouldn't play the game like this.
