Intel Arc A580 Review ft. Sparkle Orc

We measure system-wide power draw from the wall while running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes. We do this at 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (4K) to give you a better idea of total system power draw across a range of resolutions, where CPU power is typically higher at the lower resolutions.

Total system power draw peaked at around 410W in my testing, and bear in mind this is with an i9-13900KS. I've not seen an official PSU recommendation from Intel, but I'd say 500W is probably the minimum you'd want to be looking at, depending on other factors such as your CPU and number of additional drives, fans, LED strips etc.
