Baldur's Gate 3 on Arc A580

Meets recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Arc A580 meets Baldur's Gate 3's recommended spec. We estimate ~60 fps at 1080p high (range 48–72, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the low preset (~42 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 8 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.

Best settings

60 fps at 1080p: high preset
60 fps at 1440p: low preset
144 fps at 1080p: not reachable

Intel Arc card: use XeSS (native on Arc) or FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset. DLSS is not available.

What limits performance

Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Arc A580 back.
Processor needed for ~60 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
With the recommended CPU (Core i7-8700K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~60 fps.

Video memory

Arc A580: 8 GB
Minimum spec: 4 GB (+4 GB headroom)
Recommended spec: 8 GB (+0 GB headroom)
