Intel B580

Recently I brought a new Intel Arc B580 GPU from ASRock Challenger 12G OC.

It sweetly come with steam code for new Star Wars and Tomb Rider games.

Here are some staff I found:

AI Generation

llama.cpp

OpenVINO will crash when loading models.

Vulkan backend is about 6-8 times faster than SYCL when using Qwen 3.5 both 4B and 9B variants.

Stable Diffusion

It will crash when generating the second image after starting the App (both stable-diffusion.cpp and ComfyUI).

It looks like either the driver or the application did not release VRAM correctly as the error was out of VRAM while the same model works fine on my 8G 4060.

Gaming

No noticeable difference from 4060 in Genshin Impace.

However, in Zenless Zone Zero, Roscaelifer is a little bit smoother than 4060. In myy opinion, it cloud be related to new areas consumes more VRAM as I observed that it uses almost all my 8GB VRAM on 4060.
