Intel Arc B580 is the best cheap 12GB graphics card right now, as price drops even lower with new Intel bundle
Table of Contents
Intel’s current flagship graphics card, the Intel Arc B580, has dropped below £200 in the UK. We’ve already seen this GPU dropping below its $250 MSRP in the US, so it’s nice to see a similar discount across the pond. Another important part of this whole deal is the ongoing Intel Holiday Bundle.
The holiday bundle applies to a range of Intel hardware, including the B580, and includes a free copy of a game of your choice (out of four options). The title that stands out the most in the list is probably Battlefield 6, which was released just last month. The bundle also includes some bonus content, including an in-game cosmetic for Marvel Rivals.
Intel Arc B580 is as cheap as £199.99 in the UK
| Retailer | Graphics card | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Overclockers UK | Sparkle Intel Arc B580 Guardian | £199.99 |
| Overclockers UK | Sparkle Intel Arc B580 Titan OC | £209.99 |
| Overclockers UK | Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition | £218.99 |
| Overclockers UK | Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC | £218.99 |
If you want to pair the Arc B580 with the Intel Holiday Bundle, you should grab one of the brand-new models listed above. We noticed that one B-Grade GPU has also dropped to £199.99, and a B-Grade Intel Limited Edition card dropped to £209.99, but as used items, they don’t qualify for the limited-time bundle. Get a brand-new GPU instead.
Speaking of the bundle, here’s what’s included (full T&Cs can be found here). The Holiday Bundle is valued at £59.99.

When thinking about alternative 12GB GPUs, the most obvious current-gen choice is the RTX 5070, but that’s a sizeable price jump, currently costing upwards of £450 in the UK. Nvidia has failed to deliver a proper entry-level 12GB option since the RTX 3060, as the following 4060 and 5060 reverted to 8GB specs.
While you will most definitely be able to grab a used RTX 3060 for less than the Arc B580, it is a couple of generations old at this point. If you want a brand-new one, Overclockers UK lists the cheapest 12GB model at £248.99, and it’s not even being stocked anymore, presumably due to its age.
