Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 12 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

All in all, across the twelve games tested, the B580 delivered an average of 59fps at 1080p. That makes it 4% faster than the RX 7600 XT, 9% faster than the RTX 4060, while it offers a generation uplift of 29% over the A750. The leaks suggests RTX 4060 Ti-like performance weren't fully accurate, given the B580 is 13% slower.

Up at 1440p, it generally scales better versus its competition due to its wider 192-bit memory interface and the resulting increased memory bandwidth. Here we found it to be 16% faster than the RTX 4060, 9% ahead of the RX 7600 XT and still 27% faster than the A750, while it's only now 8% slower than the 4060 Ti 8GB.
