Can I run Elden Ring with a Arc B580?
In Elden Ring the Arc B580 sits between two reference points: past the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti that defines high, and 30% short of the GeForce RTX 3080 10GB that defines ultra.
The Arc B580 arrived 2 years after Elden Ring shipped, so the game was never designed with it in mind: 15 of the 47 cards we track stop at the same point in Elden Ring. It sits 25 of 47 on our index.

Tier ladder
The weakest link is graphics card: this rig brings 21 against the 30 that Elden Ring asks for at the ultra tier. Everything else in the rig is already past that line.
That readout is the best this card can do in Elden Ring: it assumes nothing else in the machine holds it back. Your own processor and memory can only lower it, never raise it.
The same card with three different processors
In Elden Ring the processor beside a Arc B580 changes the answer, which is why a card-only verdict is not worth much here. Each row assumes 16 GB of system memory.
| Processor | Index | Verdict | Bottleneck |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ryzen 5 1600 | 30 | Will not run | processor |
| Ryzen 9 5900X | 70 | Runs at high | graphics card |
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 95 | Runs at high | graphics card |
Cheapest way up one tier
graphics card: GeForce RTX 4070 Super
The Arc B580 sits at index 21 and the ultra tier starts at 30.
That is the smallest part in our catalogue that clears the ultra tier - not the fastest one, and not a price claim: we hold no price data, so "cheapest" here means "least upgrade that does the job".
