In recent weeks we have been exploring different areas of the Intel Arc Pro B70 graphics performance on Linux from various [1]OpenCL and Vulkan to Level Zero compute benchmarks , [2]scaling up to four Arc Pro B70 graphics cards , [3]comparing to NVIDIA RTX PRO Blackwell , and other relevant tests. While not intended for gaming, many Phoronix readers keep raising requests for seeing the Arc Pro B70 performance for Linux gaming given the lack of any consumer BMG-G31 GPU. So for those curious, here is a look at the Linux gaming performance with the Arc Pro B70 graphics card.

With Intel having not released any consumer version of the [5]BMG-G31 or any other Battlemage graphics card higher than the Arc B580, many readers have kept expressing interest in seeing how the Arc Pro B70 can handle Linux gaming. Today's benchmarking provides a look at that performance up against a variety of other Intel Arc, AMD Radeon, and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards based on what I had available:

- Arc A770

- Arc B570

- Arc B580

- Arc Pro B70

- RTX 5060 Ti

- RTX 5070

- RTX 5080

- RTX 5090

- RX 7800 XT

- RX 7900 GRE

- RX 7900 XT

- RX 7900 XTX

- RX 9060 XT

- RX 9070

- RX 9070 XT

The NVIDIA graphics were using their R595 driver while the AMD Radeon and Intel testing was done on the stock Ubuntu 26.04 environment of Linux 7.0 + Mesa 26.0.3.
