Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7600 XT (RX 7000, Mid-range, superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT) and the Intel Arc B570 (Arc Battlemage, Entry, current generation), released 11 months apart. Against the RX 7600 XT, the Arc B570 costs $110 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $329, 33% cheaper), has 6 GB less VRAM (10 GB vs 16 GB) and shares its 150W rated TDP.
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9060 XT.
Superseded by RX 9060 XT
Best for: Budget gamers who want 16GB VRAM for 1080p/1440p at clearance prices.

Best for: Budget-conscious 1080p gamers who want maximum VRAM per dollar. Ideal for builds where a $219 entry point matters but VRAM headroom is still a priority.

Most VRAM per dollar in the clearance market.
Ultra-efficient.
Street prices are around $370 as of October 2026, above the $329 MSRP — worth buying only when they fall back below it.
2GB more VRAM than NVIDIA's RTX 5050 ($249) and RTX 5060 ($299) — the best VRAM-per-dollar in the sub-$225 GPU market.
A full 40W lower than the B580 and 20W lower than most competing NVIDIA cards at this price. No PSU upgrade needed for most systems.
Intel's second-generation AI upscaler delivers strong image quality in supported titles, with a growing catalogue of compatible games.
Released Jan 24, 2024, the RX 7600 XT has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, which launched Jun 5, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Jan 16, 2025, the Arc B570 has been on the market for 21 months. We have no previous release cycle on record for this line and no successor on our radar, so there's no projected replacement date — the timing signal stays at Caution.
On timing, the Arc B570 is the only current-generation option of the two (Caution), while the RX 7600 XT is a clearance or used purchase.
At launch MSRP the Arc B570 is $110 cheaper than the RX 7600 XT ($219 vs $329, 33% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $20.6 for the RX 7600 XT and $21.9 for the Arc B570 — the RX 7600 XT gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
RX 7600 XT (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday 2026 — analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so real clearance pricing is unlikely. Only buy if a deal lands below the $329 MSRP.
Arc B570 (deals window to Dec 5, 2026, rated Caution): Black Friday / Cyber Monday 2026 — usually the best annual GPU deals, but analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so discounts are unlikely to reach the $219 MSRP. Only buy at or near MSRP.
Next on the deals calendar: for the Arc B570, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: Intel Arc B570
Our pick is the Arc B570: it's the current-generation card here, while the RX 7600 XT has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, and it also costs $110 less at launch MSRP ($219 vs $329) and carries a higher editor score (7.9 vs 7.3).
Go for the RX 7600 XT instead if you want more VRAM: 16 GB vs 10 GB, or if you want the higher-tier card: Mid-range rather than Entry.
