Life is Strange 2 benchmark on Arc B580: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Life is Strange 2 FPS with a Arc B580 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 159FPS min 96Excellent | 107FPS min 75Good | 44FPS min 39Acceptable |
| High | 207FPS min 125Excellent | 139FPS min 98Excellent | 57FPS min 50Acceptable |
| Medium | 270FPS min 163Excellent | 182FPS min 128Excellent | 74FPS min 65Good |
| Low | 350FPS min 211Excellent | 235FPS min 165Excellent | 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 10% 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 Life is Strange 2 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 | 159 | 199 | 231 | 338 |
| 1440p | 107 | 144 | 177 | 245 |
| 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 Life is Strange 2: 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 Life is Strange 2?
The Arc B580 delivers 159 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Life is Strange 2. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 107 FPS and at 4K 44 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
