Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition Review

Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running A Plague Tale: Requiem for 30 minutes. We use GPU-Z to record the GPU core frequency during gameplay. We calculate the average core frequency during the 30 minute run to present here.

Real-world clock speed behaviour is very interesting, perhaps because it is so boring – the B580 clocked in at 2850MHz and did not budge during my testing. It literally ran at that frequency all day long, across every one of my benchmarks. Usually a completely fixed frequency plot suggests the GPU is not power limited, perhaps voltage or even clock limited, but the behaviour is very clear indeed. It'll be interesting to see if any of Intel's partners are able to improve on this with their custom cards.
