Intel's Battlemage card: 12GB of memory for budget 1440p builds.
The Arc B580 is Intel's second-generation Battlemage card. Its 12GB of memory at a $249 launch price gave it more room than competing 8GB cards, and it is capable at 1080p and entry 1440p.
Turn on Resizable BAR in the BIOS, as Arc cards depend on it, and keep drivers up to date. It performs best with a recent CPU; older processors can hold it back more than they hold back AMD or NVIDIA cards.
