SPARKLE has officially launched the Arc B580 TITAN NOX Edition, a striking new addition to its Intel Arc-based graphics card portfolio. This model introduces a bold all-black aesthetic to the popular TITAN series, offering gamers and PC enthusiasts a stealthy design without compromising on performance.
The TITAN NOX Edition joins the existing blue TITAN OC and white TITAN LUNA OC models, completing a trio of color options for the Arc B580 lineup. Unlike its siblings, the NOX Edition embraces a near-monochromatic black design, covering the shroud, PCB, and even the fans, with subtle red accents and white lettering adding a touch of flair. This sleek, understated look is tailored for users who prefer a minimalist or stealth-themed PC build, addressing feedback from enthusiasts who found the bright blue and white variants too bold for some setups.
Despite the new color scheme, the TITAN NOX Edition retains the same robust specifications as the other TITAN models. Built on Intel’s Arc B580 “Battlemage” architecture, it features the BMG-G21 GPU with 20 Xe2 cores (2,560 shading units), 20 ray-tracing units, and 160 XMX units for AI-accelerated tasks. The card boasts 12GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, running at 19 Gbps, and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate for modern gaming features like ray tracing and variable-rate shading.

The TITAN NOX Edition comes factory-overclocked with a boost clock of 2,740 MHz, a 2.6% increase over Intel’s reference speed of 2,670 MHz. Its total board power (TBP) is rated at 200W, 10W higher than the reference design, requiring a single 8-pin PCIe power connector alongside the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface. This slight overclock delivers a modest performance boost, ideal for gamers and creators seeking high-resolution gaming and content creation capabilities.
SPARKLE’s TORN 2.0 cooling solution ensures efficient thermal management. The card, measuring 31.5 cm long, 11.7 cm wide, and 4.4 cm thick (2.2 slots), features three 70mm axial fans and an aluminum fin-stack heatsink with four heatpipes. A full metal backplate enhances durability, and a blue VGA support bracket is included to prevent sagging, despite the card’s relatively light weight of 954 grams. Reviews of the TITAN OC series suggest the cooling system significantly outperforms Intel’s reference design, maintaining lower temperatures under load.
The TITAN NOX Edition supports modern display outputs, likely mirroring the TITAN OC and LUNA OC with a mix of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 2.0 ports, though exact I/O details are yet to be confirmed. These outputs enable high-resolution gaming, including 8K media support, and pair well with Intel’s XeSS AI upscaling for enhanced performance in demanding titles. The card also integrates Intel’s AI Playground for accelerated content creation and editing, making it a versatile choice for both gamers and creators.
While SPARKLE has not officially disclosed the MSRP for the TITAN NOX Edition, early listings spotted in Germany suggest a price of approximately €338. This places it at a slight premium over the base TITAN OC and LUNA OC models, which aligns with its position in the upper segment of Intel’s Arc B580 offerings.
