The best Intel graphics card we’ve reviewed drops even further below MSRP, if you don’t mind a B Grade
Table of Contents
Launched at the tail end of 2024, the Intel Arc B580 is the tech giant’s current flagship model. Intel isn’t historically known for its discrete GPUs, but it has been making itself known on the market versus the likes of Nvidia and AMD, forging a solid selection of budget-friendly models. And now, in the UK, you can get the B580 for just £199.99; £50 below its recommended price.
Over in the US, the card launched for $249 and was slated to deliver better value for money than rival graphics cards like the RTX 4060 and RX 7600. Sadly, finding one for its MSRP was a struggle for a while, but that has thankfully changed. We’re seeing the best discounts over in Europe, particularly with this offer from Overclockers UK on a B-Grade GPU.
Intel Arc B580 price drops in the UK
| Retailer | Graphics card | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Overclockers UK | Sparkle Intel ARC B580 TITAN OC | £239.99 |
| Overclockers UK | B Grade Sparkle Intel ARC B580 TITAN OC | £199.99 |
OC3D reported yesterday on the fact that the B580 could be grabbed for just £199.99. This was actually for the brand-new model and not the B Grade, but it’s clear that this has already changed; it now costs £239.99. Even still, this is a great deal, and the £200 price point remains if you don’t mind picking up a B Grade item.
At Overclockers UK, anything listed as a B Grade item refers to a used and/or lightly damaged model. It may have some scuff marks or slight scratches, but the GPU will be in working condition. Another important factor is that all B Grade products come with six months of OcUK warranty as standard, so you have time to return if it isn’t up to scratch.
A B Grade product is an item that has superficial damage, missing parts, has been previously used, or any combination of these. They should still be an operable product, but cannot be sold at full price due to the aforementioned conditions

We put the Sparkle Titan OC through our testing lab back when we tested it for review. So, if you’re wondering just how well this graphics card will perform in 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K, we’ve done the benchmarks (see below). It should be noted that this GPU is best positioned as a 1440p card at best – you should really have something more powerful for 4K. We’re still waiting for Intel to release the rumored Arc B770 to overtake as Team Blue’s flagship GPU.
