Yes. The Intel Arc B580 is about 25% faster overall, averaging roughly NaN FPS versus NaN FPS for the NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) at 1080p with optimized settings across popular games.
About 25% faster on average. The exact gap varies by game and resolution — heavier, GPU-bound games show the biggest difference.
A 25% jump is a moderate upgrade — worth it if you're chasing higher settings or frame rates.
FPS figures are estimates from a generalized model (hardware tier × game load × per-setting weights), not live benchmarks — real performance varies by scene, drivers and game version.
