Arc B390: FPS benchmarks and laptop guide

The Intel Arc B390 is the 2026 second-generation Arc graphics record — a 3nm part showing up in thin mainstream laptops rather than gaming bricks. This guide covers its 15 recorded game benchmarks at 1080p and the three machines that carry it.

Where the Arc B390 sits in 2026

The composite ranks it #197 of 341 (score 21.7). The neighbors: Radeon 540X (#194, 22.2), Apple M4 (#195, 22.1) and the Radeon Graphics Compute Engine record (#196, 21.7) above; the GTX 860M (#198, 21.4), Quadro K5100M (#199, 21.4) and Iris Pro P580 (#200, 21) below. Mid-lower table by composite — though, as with other new-architecture records in this catalog, the recorded game table tells a livelier story than the rank does.

What the chip brings

The record lists 1536 shader cores on a 3nm process — the newest process node recorded anywhere in this GPU catalog — with a 7.68 TFLOPS figure and an 80W envelope entry. Public benchmarks: PassMark 8998, Fire Strike 16885. Those numbers sit below its game table's implied tier; trust the table.

FPS in games at 1080p

At the high preset: CS:GO and Overwatch at their 240 ceilings, Valorant 150, GTA V and PUBG at 140, Counter-Strike 2 120, Fortnite 110, The Witcher 3 107, Far Cry 5 87, Battlefield 5 and Forza Horizon 4 at 85, Forza Horizon 5 65, Resident Evil 4 Remake 50, Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus 45. A coherent modern-mid sheet: e-sports far beyond 100, AAA heavies in the 45-107 band.

Laptops that carry it

Three 2026 listings, none of them gaming chassis: the Acer Swift 16 AI ultrabook ($1400), HP EliteBook X G2i 14 ($1300) and the EliteBook X Flip G2i 14 convertible ($1500). Intel's thin-and-light class adopted this part — the roster medians show portability 83.3 and mobility 95, with gaming index 42 as the honest ceiling.

Bottom line

The B390 is a thin-machine GPU with a mid-tier table: every modern title on the sheet is playable at 1080p high, e-sports comfortably triple-digit. If the composite ranking undersells it, the recorded table is the better guide — and its three business-class hosts promise battery life and portability no gaming brick can match.
