Will the Intel Arc A580 fit and work in your PC?

Everything you need before you buy a Intel Arc A580 as an upgrade: the power supply, the power connector, whether it fits your case, and which CPUs won't hold it back.

🔌 Power & connectors

NVIDIA/AMD recommend at least a 550 W power supply for the Intel Arc A580, and it draws power through 1× 8-pin + 1× 6-pin. Make sure your PSU actually has that cable free — it's the #1 reason a GPU upgrade gets returned.

📏 Will it fit your case?

The Intel Arc A580 is 270 mm long and 2 slots thick. It fits 65 of 66 popular cases we track, including 8 small-form-factor (ITX) cases.

Tightest cases it still fits: Thermaltake Versa H17, Lian Li A4-H2O (ITX), Lian Li Q58 (ITX), Fractal Terra (ITX).

🧠 CPUs that won't bottleneck it

The faster the GPU, the more CPU you need — and lower resolutions lean harder on the CPU. Minimum recommended CPU for the Intel Arc A580 by resolution:

1080p (most CPU-demanding) — at least a Core i5-4690K
Core i5-4690KRyzen 5 1600Ryzen 7 1700Core i5-6500Ryzen 7 1700X
1440p — at least a Core i5-4690K
Core i5-4690KRyzen 5 1600Ryzen 7 1700Core i5-6500Ryzen 7 1700X
4K (least CPU-demanding) — at least a Core i5-4690K
Core i5-4690KRyzen 5 1600Ryzen 7 1700Core i5-6500Ryzen 7 1700X

"Won't bottleneck" means your CPU can keep the Intel Arc A580 busy at that resolution; the chips shown are the most affordable that qualify. Specific games still vary.
