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.
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.
I don’t see any text for this post, it’s just a link on my end.
I can’t wait for these to be EOLed due to the exec shakeup.
It’s official, the Intel Arc B580 GPU is launching on December 12, 2044
So excited. Can’t wait.
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.
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.
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.
Fools are easily parted from their money
If it can ship before tariffs become an issue, maybe.
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.
I game at 1440p on a 1080ti. So what this tells me is that I don’t need to upgrade. Cool.
What do you play and on what settings? I know the 1080ti was a beast but it must surely be showing its age.
I mostly play BG3 now but I was hard into Destiny 2. As long as I capped my FPS to match my monitor (so 120), I could crank it up to pretty much max. BG3 and Last Epoch I max out (still fps capped). Cyberpunk 2077 I didn’t bother with and play it on GeForce Now. Most other games I play are AA or indie and the 1080ti at 1440p handles them easily.
Space Marine II is another that’s going on GeForce Now just because I want it on Ultra everything. So literally 95%+ of my library runs maxed at 1440p/120 on a 1080ti.
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.
