Final Fantasy XIV benchmark on Arc B580: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Final Fantasy XIV FPS with a Arc B580 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 152FPS min 92Excellent | 103FPS min 72Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| High | 198FPS min 119Excellent | 134FPS min 94Excellent | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Medium | 258FPS min 156Excellent | 176FPS min 124Excellent | 74FPS min 65Good |
| Low | 334FPS min 201Excellent | 227FPS min 159Excellent | 96FPS min 84Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 46% | CPU 29% | GPU 29% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the Arc B580. There is 12% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
XeSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Final Fantasy XIV at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the Arc B580 with XeSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | XeSS Quality | XeSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 152 | 190 | 220 | 323 |
| 1440p | 103 | 139 | 170 | 236 |
| 4K | 44 | 64 | 81 | 109 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The Arc B580 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and XeSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the Arc B580 has headroom to spare in Final Fantasy XIV: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the Arc B580 Enough for Final Fantasy XIV?
The Arc B580 delivers 152 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Final Fantasy XIV. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 103 FPS and at 4K 44 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
