Gameplay Performance 1440p
On this page, we are going to focus on the 1440p gameplay performance of the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC video card. We will include upscaling utilizing XeSS, DLSS, and FSR on the appropriate video cards (XeSS for Intel, FSR for AMD, and DLSS for NVIDIA). Ray Tracing will be shown on a separate page to follow. For the comparison cards, we have chosen a series of video cards that sit in the same price range as the video card being reviewed, thus comparing video cards that are segmented in the same price range, this way you can see what an upgrade to the Intel Arc A750 in this price segment will bring over previous cards, as an upgrade option.
Alan Wake 2
In Alan Wake 2, we are running at 1440p with the highest quality settings enabled. We can see that the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC is not playable at high-quality settings at 1440p, but if we enable Upscaling, it is a bit better, and in this game enjoyable. You will probably want to lower the graphics setting down a notch, however. Interestingly, at this higher resolution, performance is on par with the previous generation Intel Arc A750 now, both video cards are bottlenecked evenly, though the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC does better with Upscaling performance. This still puts the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC ahead of the other cards by 36%.
Black Myth: Wukong
In Black Myth: Wukong, we have lowered the quality settings to “Medium” here at 1440p, but the game sadly is still not really playable, except with Upscaling perhaps, though you may want a more aggressive upscaling setting. Also interestingly, the Radeon RX 6600 XT takes the lead in performance by 9% and also has a higher Upscaling performance. The ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC is also once again dead even with the previous generation Intel Arc A750 at this higher, more demanding resolution, and CPU makes no difference.
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077, at 1440p, the game is very playable with Upscaling on the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC. We see no difference in CPU performance here, and the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC is 8% faster than the Intel Arc A750, and a lot faster than the other cards, over 50% faster.
Horizon Forbidden West
In Horizon Forbidden West, we again see VRAM limitations playing a part here, but now even the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC has some troubles with this at 1440p even with 10GB of VRAM. When we enable upscaling, performance is better, but not huge gains due to these limitations. However, the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC does beat the Intel Arc A750 by 31% in performance, and much faster than the other cards which are severely limited in this game.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
In Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we kept the game at “High” to really push it at 1440p. We can see that here, we are GPU-limited, and no difference between the CPUs. The game is also not playable at High, you will have to drop to at least Medium quality at 1440p for it to be playable. Performance is on par with the Intel Arc A750, which are both very limited and GPU-bound here. It is, however, a night and day difference compared to the other cards.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
In Stalker 2, we were surprised to see this difference in performance with the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC between the two CPUs at a higher 1440p resolution. We did drop the game down to “Medium” at 1440p, so it would be playable, this allows the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC to be playable at near 60FPS, as long as you are using a high-performance CPU like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. If, however, you have a slower CPU like the Ryzen 5 7600, performance will drop 27% at “Medium” quality, and the game will not be playable. With the right CPU, the ASRock Challenger Arc B570 10GB OC is very fast compared to the other video cards in this graph, with huge differences.
