still has driver overhead and just spotty drivers in general.
i’m gkad they’re here. but i cant reccomend arc to a pc novice or someone who doesnt have any paitence troubleshooting.

At this rate I’ll be going Intel. Compatibility issues aside.

nvidia and AMD took one look at Battlemage, said “lol, no” and continued price gouging >_<

I dunno, the B580 is interesting because it’s a unique product at its MSRP of 250, I’m not sure the B770 is going to be competitive if AMD is actually able to keep the 9060 XT 16GB in stock at 350.
I’m happy there is a third GPU manufacturer now but I’m uncertain they’ll be competitive with AMD in the 300-350 range.
Edit – Changed 9070 XT 16GB to 9060 XT 16GB

i love how you need a 9800x3d to make a budget card perform like a budget card

These “battlematrix” cards are pretty interesting especially for the AI crowd. Good to see intel putting up some competition, I’ve been pleasantly surprised with arc.
Hopefully with 18a process node rollout goes smooth and they can compete even better across the board late this year early next.

No supply button should be there too.

I will buy Intel when they figure out the BSODs and general compatibility issues.
Because NVIDIA are douchebags.
And AMD never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

Have they fix the low performance when paired with low end cpu?
I hear it’s pretty bad, but some say it’s not that bad.

I wouldnt buy a dead horse from intel.

They weren’t at the top in the first place to make a comeback. They fell off in the CPU market, and are rising in the GPU market.

Hello

AMD been going in that Nvidia direction lately with the 9060 xt release (especially 8GB). Intel desperately needs to do something in this duopoly for once.

I really hope the supply is good this time around. Intel has solid support in Linux so color me interested.

I bought a B580 12GB and so did a couple of my friends. I have an i5-14400f.
I am more than happy with my purchase, it was either the b580 or the 4060 8gb (same price in my region).
I game at 1440p (I find anything under 80 fps to be unplayable) and no issues whatsoever with drivers or anything. The only problem is that I get lower performance on titles that are not directx12 but hey DXVK fixes that problem.
Games that I play:
Chivalry 2
Project Zomboid
Dying Light 1 & 2
Sleeping Dogs
Red Dead Redemption 2
L4D2
Hell Let Loose
Insurgency Sandstorm
Stalker 2 (game runs like crap as on most systems)
Elden Ring

Intel Arc might not be a good VRAM limit (or lack thereof) showcase anyway because the GPU is obviously limiting in most cases. Contrast this with the 4070 TI vs. 4070 Ti Super, or the 3060 vs. 4060, or even the 2080Ti vs 3070. In all those Nvidia cases, the card with the better VRAM allocation will gallop off from its closely performing counterpart in VRAM limited scenarios. The 4060, 3070, and 4070Ti are all hamstrung by their allocations in a very clear and frankly egregious way.

Great budget performance as long as you have the best CPU on the market that costs $450
Cave_TP
They’re barely producing any B580 since it performs awful for the amount of silicon it uses (Nvidia and AMD get 80% more performance out of the same die size) meaning that they have to sell it at cost to move any stock.
For the B770 I don’t know what I should expect something slower than the 5070 and 9070 but with the die size of a 4090? No way they’d mass produce something like that when the most they can charge for it is 500$.

watch as people will keep buying Nvidia and may be some AMD.

Have fun with those drivers though…

It’s not. ARC is not very good at this moment.

Don’t tell me that the next time I buy a GPU both Nvidia and AMD will get hated to the ground and I will buy Intel GPU…. Butt in the end we will hate Intel GPUs as well.

This has been such a weird decade for Intel… they went from being the CPU juggernauts to the literal butt of every joke among tech circles, to suddenly the saving grace of budget gaming GPUs…
It’s like they can’t stop fumbling with their CPUs, but they’re doing amazing with their GPUs. Did they move all of their talent there, or something? XD

Reddits completely insane obsession with vram is something that has to be studied.
I am building PCs for over 25 years and have never witnessed anything like this.
