Intel
Arc B580
12 GB of memory at a price where everyone else ships 8 GB. In current titles it punches above its number, and Intel's driver work has moved from a real problem to a manageable one.
- Best for
- A first gaming PC, a 1080p build, or a second machine that still needs to play new releases.
- Watch out
- Older DirectX 11 and DirectX 9 titles are still the weak spot, and the card wants a modern platform with Resizable BAR enabled to hit its numbers. On an older motherboard it underperforms badly.
