Acer is launching two Intel Arc GPUs for high-performance gaming

Intel Arc GPUs are the newcomer on the block when it comes to graphics cards designed for gaming, and Acer has just announced that it will be releasing GPUs based on the Intel Arc hardware to expand consumer options.

The company is launching two graphics cards set for a release in the future. The Nitro Intel Arc B570 OC 10GB, and the Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12GB. Both of these cards are designed to deliver high-performance gaming Acer says. They’re also loaded with AI features and capabilities built on Intel’s AI technology.

Users can access these features through the Intel AI Playground app on their PC. The app lets users do a number of things tailored to AI content creation, including the ability to “Switch seamlessly between usages of image creation, image editing, and a chat LLM without starting and stopping local service instances,” Intel says.

Both cards are capable of high frame rates in games at 1440p. However, exact performance may vary depending on other PC components and what monitor you’re using. Acer also boasts that each card is capable of running games at a resolution of up to 8K.

Acer Intel Arc GPUs don’t have pricing or release dates yet

Intel’s Arc GPUs have generally been a more affordable option when compared to graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD, and that’s likely to be the same here. That being said, Acer hasn’t yet announced any pricing details or regional availability for either card.

Nevertheless, if they’re priced competitively and they live up to the high-performance gaming claims, they could provide consumers with an option that suits their gaming needs without emptying their wallets. Acer says it’ll be confirming pricing and availability in the near future. So there’s a chance we may hear about what these cards will cost before the end of the year. Not to mention when and where you can buy them.

Both cards use Acer’s advanced FrostBlade cooling system

High-performance gaming output from a graphics card relies on a lot more than just cooling, but cooling plays a big role. Both of these new cards use Acer’s FrostBlade cooling system which Acer says will reduce fan noise. So the end result is hopefully a noticeably quieter PC during game sessions and other demanding tasks.

According to Acer, the noise is reduced by up to 8%. The FrostBlade fans are built on a textured blade design with a dual-ball bearing system. This improves airflow and helps to keep the GPUs cool. The cards also have an aluminum backplate that is resistant to corrosion and should help with the cooling thanks to the large vents. Acer also says the cards are nice and compact so they should fit into most setups, even smaller PC cases. In terms of actual size specs, both cards are 268mm long, 113mm wide, and 40mm high.
