Intel Arc B570 Review ft. ASRock

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a 2021 third-person shooter platform game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5. It is the ninth main installment in the Ratchet & Clank series and a sequel to Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus. Rift Apart was announced in June 2020 and was released on June 11, 2021. A Windows port by Nixxes Software was released on July 26, 2023. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Insomniac Games in-house engine. We test using the Very High preset, Very High ray tracing, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Ratchet and Clank remains seemingly completely broken on Battlemage GPUs. The B570 proved even worse than the B580 and was a stuttery mess the whole time, barely getting above 10fps at times. Interestingly, when looking at GPU power draw, I noticed it was very low for the B570, barely 60-70 Watts, perhaps suggesting there's some sort of bandwidth issue at play as the GPU is being starved, but it's hard to say for sure.
