Between the Arc B580 and Radeon RX 9060, the Arc B580 comes out ahead in vram and memory bus, while the Radeon RX 9060 wins on tdp and ray tracing cores. Overall, the Arc B580 scores 56.2 and the Radeon RX 9060 scores 56.2 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
These two are evenly matched on the broad strokes, with the decision sitting on which individual spec advantages weigh more for your use.
Pick the Arc B580 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are vram, memory bus, cuda / stream cores.
Pick the Radeon RX 9060 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are tdp, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others.
Both ship with comparable dlss, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
