Key technologies of the B580

Upscaling, ray tracing and software ecosystem — what sets each architecture apart.

AI Upscaling

XeSS 2 (native AI) · compatible with all GPUs

XeSS 2 leverages Arc's Xe Matrix Extensions to improve image quality with AI. On third-party GPUs it works with DP4a (lower quality). On Arc it reaches its full potential.

Ray Tracing

Xe² ray tracing (improved vs previous gen)

With ray tracing enabled at medium/low quality, the B580 can maintain smooth gameplay in moderately demanding titles. For maximum quality RT, consider a higher tier.

Ecosystem and included software

Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) — best on Arc
Deep Link (optimises with Intel CPU)
AV1 hardware encoding
Intel Arc Control
