Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Review

Alan Wake 2 is a 2023 survival horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games Publishing. A sequel to Alan Wake, the story follows best-selling novelist Alan Wake, who has been trapped in an alternate dimension for 13 years, as he attempts to escape by writing a horror story involving an FBI special agent named Saga Anderson. The game was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 27 October 2023. (Wikipedia)

Engine: Northlight. We test using the High preset, High Ray Tracing preset, FSR set to Quality upscaling, DXR API.

Starting our look at ray tracing performance with Alan Wake II, despite using Quality upscaling the B580 doesn't deliver playable frame rates at 1080p, falling to 23fps on average. We can clearly see it is streets ahead of the AMD competition however, and a whopping 62% faster than the A750, possibly due to its increased framebuffer. It's still 13% slower than the RTX 4060, though.
