What does this comparison mean?
The Arc B580 doubles the GTX 980 Ti's 6GB and leads this workload. A Maxwell-era PC needs checking against Intel's platform requirements; the larger average does not guarantee a straightforward installation or the same gain in older games.
GTX 980 Ti 6GB has 6GB and Arc B580 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
GTX 980 Ti 6GB
The GTX 980 Ti arrived in June 2015 with Maxwell architecture and 6GB of GDDR5. It is distinct from the 4GB GTX 980 and from the later Pascal GTX 1080 Ti.
Arc B580 12GB
Intel's Arc B580 uses Xe2 architecture and has 12GB of dedicated graphics memory. Availability began in December 2024.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
