Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Review

Returnal is a 2021 roguelike video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was released for the PlayStation 5 on April 30, 2021 and Windows on February 15, 2023. The game follows Selene Vassos, an astronaut who lands on the planet Atropos in search of the mysterious “White Shadow” signal and finds herself trapped in a time loop. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Epic preset, Epic ray traced shadows and reflections, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Thankfully, Returnal played nice with the B580 and actually delivered some very impressive numbers. With both RT reflections and shadows enabled, the Intel GPU came in 16% faster than the RTX 4060 and is basically on par with AMD's RX 7700 XT, so Battlemage is punching well above its weight here.
