And that card has 48gbs of VRAM and is several times faster than the B580<BR />Id just disable ray tracing and Xess, run it in native resolution, ultra settings, I think you're expecting a bit too much out of a 250 dollar card.

I don't know if it's coming from the processor or the motherboard, and I have a Ryzen 7 5700X. Can you tell me the model of your motherboard?</P> Wed, 02 Jul 2025 09:25:39 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/GPU-Compute-Software/Performance-and-crash-issues-with-Intel-Arc-B580-Fortnite-and/m-p/1701078#M1893 SaladeTomate 2025-07-02T09:25:39Z Re: Performance and crash issues with Intel Arc B580 – Fortnite and The Witcher 3 https://community.intel.com/t5/GPU-Compute-Software/Performance-and-crash-issues-with-Intel-Arc-B580-Fortnite-and/m-p/1702219#M1900 <P>Same issue too, i have amd processor, and performance mode crashes after a few seconds.</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 08 Jul 2025 18:50:35 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/GPU-Compute-Software/Performance-and-crash-issues-with-Intel-Arc-B580-Fortnite-and/m-p/1702219#M1900 GavinP209 2025-07-08T18:50:35Z
