The Arc B580 is pretty good for what it is. Yes it's worse than the RX 9060, but it's also about $100 cheaper. If you're playing at 1080p it's a perfectly valid choice.

I have to admit that the Arc cards have been a surprisingly bright point. Even the A310 I have currently installed in my media server is decently capable for its price.

AFAIK the Arc B580 is better and cheaper than the 8GB RX 9060, better as in faster in part because it has 12 GB RAM.
So right now B580 is probably the best value for money budget card.

I really hope Intel will continue to make Graphics cards, but it doesn't look so good.
