Embargoes and Early Birds

The gaming hardware world has been buzzing since the news broke of Asrock Arc B570 Challenger 10 GB OC graphics cards hitting the shelves before their official embargo lift on January 16. It seems that the stars aligned for one Intel Arc GPU enthusiast, who managed to score a pair of these coveted cards from his local Micro Center. Talk about great timing!

Why Buy Early?

The thrill of snagging an Asrock Arc B570 Challenger isn’t just about being the first on the block to show off the latest tech. As one savvy shopper, Redditor Genxontech, noted, it was all about dodging potential post-launch shortages and price surges. “I’m upgrading my son’s PC from a GTX 1080, and the other one is for me. I work, I don’t need to scalp it,” he shared, emphasizing the priority of genuine upgrades over reselling.

Comparing the B570 and B580

As the clock ticks down to the official launch, expectations rise about how the Asrock Arc B570 will stack up against the recently released B580 series, priced at $249. With a $30 advantage in terms of cost, the B570 could become the go-to choice for budget-conscious gamers. So, how will these two tiers measure up in 2025? Will enthusiasts find value in the B570, or will it fall flat in comparison?

In any case, exciting times are ahead for Intel’s graphics lineup, and with mixed results shared by Genxontech on the new drivers, it’s clear that the road to launch day is filled with intrigue—and a hint of chaos!
