Intel Arc Pro B70 BMG-G31 Linux Gaming Performance

Written by Michael Larabel in Linux Gaming on 28 May 2026 at 11:01 AM EDT. Page 5 of 5. 16 Comments.

With OpenGL workloads like the demanding Unigine benchmarks, the Intel Arc graphics -- including the Arc Pro B70 -- are more competitive than in many of the Vulkan-rendered Steam Play games.

For those that have been curious about the Arc Pro B70 for Linux gaming, it works and is faster than the Arc B580 but with a price of around $1000 USD isn't really appropriate for Linux gaming especially when options like the sub-$500 Radeon RX 9060 XT end up being faster. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti also does much better especially for ray-tracing games and it can be found for less than $400 USD.
