Arc B580 vs RX 7600: Gaming Performance & Bottleneck (2026)

This is not a close contest. The Arc B580 is 38% faster than the RX 7600 at 4K and 27% faster at 1440p: 55 vs 43 FPS in AAA games at High settings with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D. It's a cross-brand matchup: Intel's 2024 card against AMD's 2023 card. The order holds at 1080p (17% apart), so the Arc B580 is the quicker card at every resolution. Ray tracing widens the gap to 77% (29 vs 16 FPS at 1440p), as the RX 7600's RT hardware is less efficient. In esports games like CS2 or Valorant at 1080p they reach 250 and 213 FPS, enough for a 144 Hz monitor. At 4K the RX 7600 manages 24 FPS native, and FSR Quality lifts that to about 35. The Arc B580 also has more memory (12 GB vs 8 GB), and 8 GB is already tight at 1440p High in new games. To stay under a 10% CPU bottleneck at 1440p, both need only a Ryzen 5 3600-class CPU.

Which should you buy?

Buy the Arc B580 if you want the faster card: it's 38% ahead at 4K. The RX 7600 is the better buy only if it costs at least 27% less, the gap at 1440p, because then it delivers more frames per dollar. Already own the RX 7600? Going to the Arc B580 gains 27% at 1440p, which is a worthwhile upgrade.

Buy the Arc B580 if…

  • you want the most FPS: it's 38% faster at 4K and 27% at 1440p.
  • you play with ray tracing: 29 vs 16 FPS at 1440p.
  • you play at 4K or use high-resolution texture packs: 12 GB of VRAM vs 8 GB.
  • you want the newer card (2024) with the longer driver and feature support ahead of it.

Buy the RX 7600 if…

  • it costs at least 27% less than the Arc B580, which makes it the better value per frame.
  • it's the cheaper of the two where you shop: performance is close enough that price decides.

Arc B580 vs RX 7600: quick answers

Is the Arc B580 faster than the RX 7600?

Yes. The Arc B580 is about 38% faster at 4K and 27% faster at 1440p in AAA games at High settings. With ray tracing on at 1440p the Arc B580 gets about 29 FPS and the RX 7600 16 FPS.

How many FPS do the Arc B580 and RX 7600 get?

With a Ryzen 7 9800X3D at High settings in AAA games, the Arc B580 averages about 78 FPS at 1080p, 55 at 1440p and 33 at 4K. The RX 7600 averages 67, 43 and 24 FPS. DLSS, FSR or XeSS upscaling adds roughly 40% where the graphics card is the limit.

What CPU do I need for the Arc B580 or RX 7600?

To keep the CPU bottleneck under 10% at 1440p, the Arc B580 needs a Ryzen 5 3600 or faster and the RX 7600 needs a Ryzen 5 3600 or faster. At 1080p you need a faster CPU for the same result, and at 4K a slower one is fine. A slower CPU narrows the gap between the Arc B580 and the RX 7600.
