Game-changing Performance with the Nitro Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Cards

The Nitro Intel Arc B-Series Graphics Cards, featuring Xe2 architecture with up to 20 cores, are engineered to deliver exceptional gaming, versatile creation, and accessible AI experiences. The Nitro Intel Arc B570 OC 10 GB (AN-B570-OCD) graphics card reaches clock speeds of up to 2,690 MHz, while the Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12 GB (AN-B580-OCA) card boasts up to 2,740 MHz, supporting high FPS gaming at 1440p and up to 8K visuals.

Next-generation Intel Xe2 microarchitecture provides up to 50% better performance per core[1], enhancing gaming experiences with real-time lighting, shadows, and reflections thanks to built-in Direct X12 Ultimate support with ray tracing capabilities, mesh shaders, variable rate shading and sampler feedback. AI-generated frames powered by Intel Xe Frame Generation technology (XeFG), significantly increase FPS for added fluidity and performance. Intel Xe Low Latency technology (XeLL) reduces input lag between keyboard and mouse inputs for seamless gaming experiences.

Advanced Thermal Cooling and Reduced Noise with FrostBlade

Compact and durable, these Acer graphics cards are ideal for gamers starting their journey into high-performance gaming and seeking seamless experiences. The FrostBlade cooling system, with its textured blade design and dual-ball bearing system, improves airflow, keeps the cards cool, and reduces noise by 8% compared to plastic fans[2]. The durable aluminum backplate is corrosion-resistant and non-flexing, providing higher structural integrity and enhanced cooling with large vent designs. Plus, its small form factor makes it easy to fit into any setup.
