I can’t wait for the release in 2044! I hope 1440p is still all the rage when it launches!
Serious note: I hope Intel stays in the dgpu market, we could use another player in the space.
Yeah, very glad that Intel has stayed in the market.
It’s very refreshing to see a company release a reasonable, though that term has been skewed so much over the years, budget cpu that doesn’t completely suck and actually tries to run current green games.
very glad that Intel has stayed in the market
for now, anyway. nobody knows if the discrete gpu division will survive the leadership shakeup and new ceo (when they find one)
I haven’t been a huge fan of Intel for their cpus for some time now, but I agree, there needs to be more gpu competition out there. I’ve been wanting to try out an Arc for a while, I’m just hoping the dgpu drivers are better than what they run for their integrated chips.
This is a strange comment when the article is about the launch on December 12th. Maybe the joke went over my head?
Aaah it’s in the article itself! Didn’t see that, thanks.
Read the text from the post, not the article. OP said it is releasing in 2044 instead of 2024.
The article says 2044 between the headline and the first picture.
I don’t see any text for this post, it’s just a link on my end.
It’s official, the Intel Arc B580 GPU is launching on December 12, 2044
So excited. Can’t wait.
If this turns out to be a solid performer, the price could make it the best midrange value since AMD’s Polaris (RX 480). Let’s hope Intel’s build quality has improved since the A770.
Slightly better performance than a 4060 and $50 cheaper. But the 4060 is about to be replaced with a newer model at this point, so is it actually a good deal? Questionable.
We both know, 5060 will be like $300 or even more
And come out in 2026 after Nvidia finally gives up trying to convince the market that their $600 5070 is the low end of the GPU market
Nvidia says the $2000 5090 comes out in January. They haven’t even hinted at an announcement for the 5060 so it will be a very long time before it comes out.
$2k, jfc.
$2k, jfc.
They’ll sell hundreds of thousands of them anyway. Neither price nor power consumption matter anymore
Fools are easily parted from their money
Might be a year before Nvidia’s next 60 class card is out. They usually release from highest spec to lowest.
Given that Nvidia said to be upping the prices of their 50XX series and the current 4060 and 7600 cards only offer 8 GB of vram, which honestly is insufficient for modern games now and overpriced, yeah, I do think this will offer decent value to budget gamers.
The 20xx series was expensive, skipped the 3x/4x and went back to amd. Even though I got my 7900xtx on sale, it still was insanely expensive for a gpu…where are the $500 top gpus gone.
Number for number, sure, if it’s actually available at that price.
The problem is that Intel’s drivers sucked in the past, so they definitely have to prove themselves with this launch. I definitely wouldn’t be buying it release day if I needed a GPU.
If it can ship before tariffs become an issue, maybe.
With its 8GB, the 4060 performs quite poorly when scaling up the resolution. There’s a great video by hardware unboxed showing how limiting 8GB are, in 1440p.
I just can’t imagine the extra vram making such a difference in performance that it is enough to play in 1440p, let alone on ultra. I have a 6650 XT, which is slightly slower than the targeted 4060 / 7600 and that thing struggles even in 1080p.
Check the video. It clearly shows how performance drops significantly the moment you run out of vram. It doesn’t meant the performance will be perfect in 1440p, it means Intel is using that as a competition ground, something the 8GB cards fail at and maybe Intel’s GPU isn’t great but the 12GB will probably make a difference (and Intel is maybe being quiet at 1080p because they are likely to perform worse).
Do these cards have good open-source Linux drivers?
The comments I’ve read from current-generation Arc owners have given the impression that their Linux drivers are catching up to AMD. Here’s the latest info:
As an aside knowing most companies working in embedded technologies usually work in, or have strong aspects in Linux. Why then are Linux drivers so difficult to come by? Lack of customers seems unlikely since they mostly have everything ready, right? Or is it cost cutting to avoid lengthy QA on another platform? That would be easy to sidestep by giving a no-warranty driver version?
They keep getting removed from the kernel.
Hopefully it will bring some decent generational improvements. The only thing i’m not a huge fan of is the 45% price increase over lasts gen, which isn’t even putting used or discounted cards into consideration
The last equivalent card was
$112$172?Edit: I’ve been corrected. That still seems incredibly low.
$249 is 45% more than $172.
Haha, you’re right. Brain fart.
I just bought an a750 honestly I’m loving it. So far I’ve only had issues in Skyrim with the shadows, and vermintide 2.
This looks insanely good.
How these go Linux? Vroom or doom?
I believe vroom, intel usually has good Linux support even having their own optimized distribution
Edit: it may have trouble with older titles
I love playing older titles…
