Intel Arc A580 Review ft. Sparkle Orc

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is an action role-playing video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is the twelfth major instalment and the twenty-second release in the Assassin's Creed series, and a successor to the 2018's Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The game was released on November 10, 2020, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Stadia, while the PlayStation 5 version was released on November 12.

Engine: AnvilNext 2.0. We test using the High preset, DX12 API.

Kicking things off with Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it's not the best start for the A580, pushing out a little over 60FPS at 1080p. That puts it dead level with the RTX 3050, though with slightly better 1% lows, but it's a hefty 23% slower than the RX 6600. There's not much of a difference versus the A750 though, as the A580 is just 7% behind.

We also test 1440p and the A580 does scale a touch better, now coming in slightly faster than the RTX 3050, while it's 11% behind the RX 6600. Against the A750, the A580 is now 8% slower, so that's not much of a gap at all between the two Arc GPUs.
