NBA 2K26 benchmark on Arc B580: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
NBA 2K26 FPS with a Arc B580 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 87FPS min 63Good | 61FPS min 53Good | 32FPS min 28Acceptable |
| High | 113FPS min 82Good | 80FPS min 70Good | 41FPS min 36Acceptable |
| Medium | 148FPS min 107Excellent | 104FPS min 90Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable |
| Low | 191FPS min 138Excellent | 135FPS min 117Excellent | 70FPS min 62Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 25% | balanced | GPU 49% |
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 i7-13700K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the Arc B580. There is 22% 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 NBA 2K26 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 | 87 | 109 | 126 | 185 |
| 1440p | 61 | 82 | 101 | 139 |
| 4K | 32 | 46 | 59 | 78 |
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 NBA 2K26: 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 NBA 2K26?
The Arc B580 delivers 87 FPS at 1080p Ultra in NBA 2K26. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 61 FPS and at 4K 32 FPS at Ultra quality.
