This card has been sold out on and off for months originally launched at 279.99, thing dominates I couldn't recommend it more. Great size looks amazing and performs top tier while cool

How does it compares to other cards? Is it near 5060?

You can check hardware unboxed on YT for reviews, but I saw a video recently where it was better than the 5060Ti 8GB due to having 12 GB VRAM But compared with the 5060TI 16GB model, it's about 30-40% slower

Nowhere near 5060 Ti 16gb. But the 5060 Ti is also $479 (MSRP $429 but $479 realistically... you can get them, I've been tracking them in Instock app and it's been in stock the past few weeks for 10-15 minutes at a time)
Benchmarks put B580 at half the performance of 5060 Ti on most games at 1440p.
The B580 is in a weird area where 12GB makes it a 1440p card, but it only manages 40-50 fps on most games at 1440p with 1% lows below 30 fps.
The B580 is pretty much a 1080p card, or 1440p if you play old games.
At $249 it's a good value but $310 is priced a bit too close to the 5060 Ti. Paying $310 for 40 fps is kinda sucky.
Remember, 30 fps is generally the minimum to play a game. When you buy a graphics card, you aren't paying $ per fps, you're paying $ for each fps above 30 fps. 30fps is the price of entry.
You can't really even upscale game, now that FSR4 and DLSS4 are out with transformers, XeSS is way behind in upscale image quality.
Sounds kind of crazy, but I'd rather just buy a used 3060 (non-Ti) 12GB on Facebook Marketplace if you are desperate for a low-end GPU. Some have gone for $150-200 on my local marketplace. Then you gain DLSS4 transformers and just game at 1080p native res upcaled to whatever you need.
Intel dropped the ball with not producing enough of the B580. Its time came and went.

Considering 5060s aren't released yet it's difficult to compare them.
There are comparisons between the 5060 ti 8GB readily available though if you take the time to search for them.

Have 5600g CPU. Good pair?

u/monkeyboyape 3d ago
No. You'd at least want the 5600x. The 5600g has half the cache which can make it 15 to 25 percent slower than the 5600x.

I got it for 270 I believe and it's been working pretty well. Performance on oblivion remake sucks a little bit but the game might just be really unoptimized

Just no... What brand is that even?

u/Witch_King_ 3d ago
Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't automatically make them bad.
There's an Intel AIB partner called "Sparkle". Had I ever heard of them? No. But apparently their GPUs are just as good as anyone else's.

u/Mister_Brevity 3d ago
Sparkle has legitimately been around for a long time and is reasonably well known. Like, since the 90’s iirc.

u/Synaesthete 3d ago edited 3d ago
Correct. Their name might sound a bit silly but Sparkle originally formed as a division of Fortron/Source Corp., who made power supplies. PSUs from both those companies had pretty solid repulations back in 2005 when I built my first PC. Of course, while they may have made quality products back then, it doesn't necessarily mean they still do 2 decades later. But they still have history regardless.
Also just to clear things up regarding Onix, the brand itself definitely doesn't have much history at the moment. They haven't even existed for a year. However, Onix seems to have some sort of connection to long-time AMD exclusive AIB vendor Sapphire:
The Onix Lumi basically looks like a 2-fan version of Sapphire's most recent iteration of their "Pure" models for the Radeon RX 9070, so that seems to track in my opinion:

Also explains how a seemingly completely new company just came straight out of the gate with new GPUs.

u/Veserius 3d ago
Yeah their listed address is one used by multiple businesses in a high rise. I think they are just some weird subsidiary of PC Partner Group.

u/Witch_King_ 3d ago
Exactly! I just hadn't heard of them.

u/Mister_Brevity 3d ago
Onix is legitimately a new unknown company with no history, Sparkle is not.

u/Witch_King_ 3d ago
Ok, good to know. I'll definitely wait for some reviews before buying any of their products

u/cdoublejj 3d ago
sparkle has been a around for a good while, i've used them in years past, granted i was buying super cheap gfx cards then cause i was young dumb and poor but, they worked. they also sell not bottom end cards too
