Intel Arc B580 performance (and crash)

[kusikänni]

So I got this brand-spanking new GPU to replace my old GTX 1070 to get some playable framerates. I crank up the graphics to max at 1080p and set XeSS to Quality.
I'm not all too impressed by its performance in this game since it ran Cyberpunk with ray tracing just fine. It felt sluggish and the game crashed after 10 minutes of play. Native resolution without upscaling tanked my FPS to under 30.
Are the drivers still behind since it's such a new card, or is PoE2 just that demanding and/or still poorly optimized? Or both?

I'd like to hear your experiences with the card if you have it.

Here're my specs for reference and to compare:
Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B650-PLUS
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
GPU: Intel Arc B580 (AsRock's Steel Legend version)
RAM: 32Gigs of Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000Mt/s
Storage: Samsung Evo 970 Plus SSD

I have a 13600K with the new B580 and it feels like the game is trash. I have to play in like mini window mode for it to not LAG or like fullscreen very low rez. I like to play in 2K and have some good performances but right now it is not the case at all. even makes me die. Got 16GB of ram 3200 CL15 with 4TB M.2 SN850X.

The game is definitely fun, but for the buck I have paid for my pc i hope it's going to deliver or that they will fix things or else i won't play it anymore if they can't.

In POE1 I think we could also remove some animations and stuff to make sure we had good performances. Was never as horrible as now...

I think it even felt better with my old RTX 2060 4GB. A clear lack of game performance & optimization for different setups.

the b580 is very mainly in 1440p, in 1080p very bad performance. also the cpu the stronger the better. 7600 seems fine. anything below 5600 is quite bad.

i was gona get it but when for a used 6700xt instead. very stable but b580 would be a major bargain though my cpu 3600x cant handle.

**notes try to never run games in b580 1080p. it excel's mainly in 1440p. 1080p like above said rtx2060 can beat b580. it's really not an optimised 1080p card.
**also as a budget card, b580. odly best is pair with 9800x3d = the result will be above rtx 4060. (check out hardware unboxed.)

there's a youtube video, listed quite good but with specific settings here.

hope it helps.

some GPU overlay tracking would of been nice to look at while the game is running but oh well. Seems the card is trying to do some calculation it's not suppose to be doing. Not sure if a driver can fix it though. Tipping my hat for those early adopters of the B580. They're all making us proud.

I'm still wishing I could figure out some sort of performance overlay for my b580 steel aswell. I'd really like to see the temps I'm running at with this new gpu

cant you just use HW Monitor?

it wont be an overlay but i'm going to assume you have 2 monitors

I run the game with Ryzen 3600,
RX 7700 XT at 1440p ultrawide res with 70-90 fps depending on location.
Particularly bad maps can tank fps much lower (like jungle)
Native res, no upscaling.

Seems like Intel cards suck for this game, at least now.
