Hi @Hasan_,

 

Upgrading your GPU from an Intel Arc A750 to an Intel Arc B580 should generally provide a performance boost, especially for gaming at 1080p. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind to ensure you don't face any overhead issues.

 

Intel Core i5-12400 is a capable processor, especially for 1080p gaming. It should be able to handle the B580 without significant bottlenecking. However, if you play CPU-intensive games or use applications that require heavy CPU processing, you might experience some limitations. For most gaming scenarios at 1080p, your CPU should be sufficient. Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) can handle the increased power requirements of the B580. Check the recommended wattage for the B580 and compare it to your current PSU's capacity. If necessary, upgrade your PSU to avoid power-related issues. Make sure to update your GPU drivers to the latest version to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with the B580.

 

To summarize, your system should be able to handle the upgrade without significant overhead issues, especially for 1080p gaming. Just ensure that your PSU, cooling, and drivers are up to date to support the new GPU effectively.
