Intel’s Arc B390 iGPU Just Earned a Forza Horizon 6 Shoutout—Without Even Trying

Intel’s Arc B390 iGPU just made the cut for Forza Horizon 6—without even trying. The integrated GPU is now listed as a supported requirement for the AAA racing title, joining discrete options like the RTX 4050 and Radeon 890M. Benchmark data shows the B390 outperforming Strix Point iGPUs in 1080p gaming, averaging 64 FPS in some tests and 39 FPS in others.

Forza Horizon 6’s minimum requirements include 16GB RAM and an SSD, with the game launching May 19.

Testing results highlight the B390’s leap over its Strix Point predecessor:

The 12 Xe3-core Arc B390 iGPU is leaps ahead of its main Strix Point competition.

Another observation underscores the broader significance:

It's also worth taking a step back from the comparative stuff and reflecting on the simple fact that we're now seeing integrated graphics listed as a requirement for what's sure to be a very good-looking upcoming AAA game.

Intel’s Panther Lake platform, which houses the B390, is positioned as a "ray of sunshine" in 2026’s hardware landscape, with testers noting its "fantastic" battery life.
