It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3, real-time ray tracing, and Intel XeSS upscaling, making it ideal for 1080p gaming and high-performance multi-stream transcoding with AV1 hardware encoding support. Designed for quiet operation and easy installation, it’s a top choice for professionals seeking a powerful yet low-noise GPU for media servers and casual gaming. ## Description The SPARKLE Intel Arc™ comes with the TORN cooling solution featuring 0dB mode and customized AXL Fan. The fan blades are designed with stripe structures and polished surfaces on the bottom side, enhancing its cooling performance even further. Review: Low power, great for transcoding, needs a firmware update to fix fan surging issue. - I purchased this as a dedicated hardware transcoding GPU for a rack mount server, it requires no external power, fits in a 2U case, comes with both full size and low profile brackets, but swapping them requires a little creativity as the plastic shroud covers the upper screw. Installation is easy as no external power needs to be connected. Out of the box, the cards firmware contains a bug that causes the fan to constantly spin up for a few seconds, this is fixed by installing the Intel GPU drivers under Windows which also upgrades the firmware during install. After that, it runs quietly and fulfils that role perfectly and runs cool, the fan is barely noticeable, even at full chat. While it was in a windows environment, I ran 3D Mark, being a 4GB card it’s clearly going to struggle, so had to drop to the basic benchmarking test, 3D Mark predicted FPS results on 1080 High: Fortnight 180+ Battle Field V 55+ Apex Legends 110+ GTA V 145+, Red Dead Redemption 2 35+ Obviously those are just guide numbers, but for a basic card at 1080p, it looks like Arc has some decent performance potential. It handles transcoding multiple streams with ease, unlike NVIDIA, no artificial session limit on transcodes, the only concern is 4GB VRAM, but that is more than enough for over a dozen H264/H265 transcodes from 1080 down to whatever. If you need more, then choose a card with extra VRAM. Is it good value? That depends on your needs. For gaming at 1080, I would pay a little more and go Arc 570/580, at 1080 they are significantly more capable. If you just need to add a low power, quiet GPU for transcoding duties with AV1 support for the future, it’s the cheapest and arguably best option, also ideal if you stream and want to hardware encode in real time without hitting your main GPU’s resources. Review: Great Value - Got this for £104 at the time of purchase, was a really good deal. Bought for my Plex server as a transcoder device. Works perfectly with AV1 4k streams, I only have a maximum of 3 streams so this card is perfect for the job Installation is just plug into a x4 slot and away you go. Is small low profile card and comes with a full height and low profile bracket so will fit any size case. Has a small fan but didnt see any issues with over heating even when it was decoding 2 4k streams AV1 at the same time Perfect card .. Would recommend if you are after a decent AV transcoding device. ## Features - Ideal Product - TORN Cooling with double customized AXL fans, 2.2-slot design and full-metal backplate, patented(pending) ThermalSync - Xe HPG Architecture, Real Time Ray Tracing, Intel XeSS upscaling, 225W TDP, DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.3 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CHN5KQS8 | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | 18,512 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 71 in Graphics Cards | | Box Contents | Graphics Card | | Brand Name | Sparkle Computer | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (768) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04711342290221 | | Graphics Card Interface | PCI-Express x16 | | Graphics Card Ram | 8 GB | | Graphics Coprocessor | Intel Arc A580 | | Graphics Description | Arc A580 | | Graphics Ram Type | GDDR6 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 8.7L x 4W centimetres | | Item Weight | 100 Grams | | Manufacturer | Sparkle | | Maximum Display Resolution | 7680x4320 | | Memory Clock Speed | 16 GHz | | Model Name | SA580C-8GOC | | Number of Fans | 2 | | Product Warranty | 2 year manufacturer | | Video Output Interface | DisplayPort, HDMI | | Video Processor | Intel | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sparkle Computer - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop - **Graphics RAM size:** 8 GB - **Graphics RAM type:** GDDR6 - **Graphics card interface:** PCI-Express x16 - **Graphics co-processor:** Intel Arc A580 - **Graphics processor manufacturer:** Intel - **Included components:** Graphics Card - **Recommended uses for product:** Gaming - **Video output interface:** DisplayPort, HDMI ## Images ![Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61r1vHB8wbL.jpg) ![Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+hUtFwPLL.jpg) ![Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61n5n8eSPoL.jpg) ![Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ib3HaTJnL.jpg) ![Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OPi2VqN+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low power, great for transcoding, needs a firmware update to fix fan surging issue. *by L***S on 29 July 2025* I purchased this as a dedicated hardware transcoding GPU for a rack mount server, it requires no external power, fits in a 2U case, comes with both full size and low profile brackets, but swapping them requires a little creativity as the plastic shroud covers the upper screw.

However, there is a firmware problem at least with my unit which makes the fan ramp up and down constantly which is insanely annoying and the fan is not quiet to begin with. I know this isn't a cooling issue as the GPU temperature was showing consistently under 40c. If you don't have it in the same room as you work or sleep, its amazing, but otherwise I would go for an integrated GPU or a larger, newer GPU. Compatibility is still lacking as Intel Arc is so new, but these cards are amazing and will shine when software catches up to these little cards. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - MSI MAG A550BN Gaming Power Supply - 80 Plus Bronze Certified 550W - Compact Size - ATX PSU --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/574987642-sparkle-intel-arc-a580-orc-oc-edition-8gb-gddr6-thermalsync](https://www.desertcart.be/products/574987642-sparkle-intel-arc-a580-orc-oc-edition-8gb-gddr6-thermalsync) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
