I have a RX 580 8gb and Going to a 4060/7600 with 8gb doesn't make sense because i have a 1440p moniter now. Crazy the 4060/7600 can do 1440p but the vram holds it back in the graphs here and hardware unboxed. No doubt the RTX 5060 and 8600 will have 12gbs and cost $329-350 making the B580 the only option. Having 12gbs, decent performance, and intels XeSS means 1440p gaming at $250 is finally here. Also 1440p high refresh moniters are below $250-300 now. intels claims 1440p being the new 1080p in a few years is believable. XeSS also uses AI like DLSS so it won't be a hit or miss like AMDs FSR. This card is exactly what i been waiting for. Its funny upgrading from a RX 580 to another 580 though
I loved my old rx580 lol, I ended up finding a sale sometime last year for an rx 6700xt for like $270 and man was that a fantastic card. I hope this new B580 can give that level of performance without all the issues their first release had. I just pray both Intel and AMD start making headway in the GPU market because DLSS aside, Nvidia hasn't exactly been making quality products for the entry level market recently.
Mostly I dont even watch the screen when a game is running, I just stare at my closed case and Imagine the beauty taking place within. TAKE MY MONEY INTEL

@@BOZ_11yeah man I am happy for him but I will have to see if he can keep doing what he did before or he revolves around the feet of companies and rolls us into buying a bad deal. For now he earned it and I hope he earns even more.
The fact that many of the official charts talk about XeSS is a bit worrying, to be honest. Nowadays, GPU builders only swear by upscalers and framegen technologies...
"XI" in "Draw XI" stands for "Execute Indirect" which allows the GPU to manage and execute a series of rendering commands without constant oversight from the CPU. In other words, it's a technique that reduces the CPU bottleneck used in modern games. The A series didn't have XI support in hardware, and had to be emulated in software, incurring a major performance penalty.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is one game that I know of which makes heavy use of execute indirect. It would be a good title to put into your test suite IMO

To be fair it doesn't look like it's going to be anything faster than what we already have, and we've had very affordable GPUs for a while now. We just haven't seen a brand new launch be so affordable
We got a budget 12gb card from intel and the upcoming release of the midrange targeted 8th gen radeon cards coming out in a month from amd. nvidia better watch out!
Hey if all else fails, they still dominate the console market at this point and even won the deal with Sony for the PS6 against Intel so that's a plus I guess
The one thing giving me pause right now is the fact that on a lot of these comparison charts, Intel is clearly leveraging XeSS a lot. Looking forward to the reviews with some real world data.
Agreed but also pretty hopeful as XeSS is already way better than any FSR. Intel main issue was driver support, which just gets ironed out with time and use data. Think imma build a budget PC with intel card and give it away for xmas
Yeah, and intel has better performance on XeSS than non-intel cards, it’s “technically” a fair comparison, but kinda sus. If the 4060 was on DLSS, it might be faster, although ever since XeSS 1.3, it typically get similar perf as DLSS
@@vextakes It sucks that we're the guinea pigs training the AI, but at this point it's unavoidable. Eventually it'll be the norm if it already isn't becoming it. My optimistic take is that hopefully this AI feature stuff gets exponentially better & better, and delivers the things they are promising. We are at the infancy of it, kinda scary lol
Tech Yes City did a really good job examining the benchmarks in detail, without doing his own for obvious reasons, and there were some in inconsistencies in some games. Basically Intel did fudge some of the numbers in certain games, giving them a clear win, when it in reality they numbers should have been less. Yall should go check that out. Great video as always my man!!!
i want Intel to build something to compete with the 5080! i rekon if this model does well they should compete! AMD stepped down on higher end GPU's i think INtel need to step up!
I take way higher framerate and overall smoother performance with native 1080p any day over the slightly higher DPI image with 1440p. Doesn't matter what the monitor costs, the PC is the expensive part..
Proportion of what is being used now is not the same as proportion of what people want to buy now. People buying new GPUs at this moment probably would get 1440p if they are gonna buy a display in the current market.
High refresh rate 1440P monitors are cheap just a few years ago people were paying the same price for high refresh rate 1080P monitors. Building a PC to run 1440P at high frames is a different story.
For those that haven't seen the latest MLID vid on Battlemage it is pretty much DOA, they are losing between $30-$60 a card so they will only release enough to burn through the stock required of the TSMC contract and then pull the plug. They have already fired HALF the GPU division so expect driver support to be poor and only last a couple years and after this Celestial will be iGPU only. You can thank now fired CEO Pat Gelsinger for this as TSMC had given them a sweetheart deal with 40% off the wafers then he made a crack about Taiwan in an interview which caused TSMC to revoke the discount so they are having to pay $23,000 per wafer instead of $13,800 which means there is no way they can even sell these at break even. That one crack was the final nail in the coffin for ARC sadly, but what can you expect from the CEO that canceled their new CPU design, sold so many divisions like Optane, all to chase an AI ship that had already sailed.
As an AMD user I cant wait and hope this can compete with other mid-ranged GPUs in both performance and price because we really competition in the market
Competition in the GPU market doesn't exist, 4060 is king for the budget because of fram gen. It gives 70-100% better performance than 3060. That's why Nvidia has 90% market share in gaming gpus. Amd doesn't even make most of their money from gamers that's why they don't wanna compete with 4090 or 5090.

We haven't had this pricing since the rx 480 was released 8 years ago let that sink in. Both nvidia and amd have been upping the price of bottom tier gpus rtx 4060/4060ti/Rx 7600
Honestly, one of the 3 companies needs to normalize 16 GB minimum card vram. It's easy enough to do, drop the speed of the vram to a gen prior, say gddr6 to gddr5 or maybe even create a mixed memory balancing algo so you can half and half it and give players more bang for less money on low end cards - you don't go ballistic ultra settings on your game as a result, but you also dont stutter due to every "AAA" studio sucking at optimization on a current gen GPU like with nvidia's entry level market
Its not really about the optimization, its the sheer scale of games that needs to be processed. Games are just way too complex to run smoothly on 2070.
I think they could easily fix this in two ways: make separate installs for quality settings (if you only want 1080p, you can remove 4k and 1440p resolutions) and increasing gbs to 12. 16 is kinda nutty tbh, I don't think we need that much until you get to high fps 1440p (Or unoptimized UE5 slop)
@@kebaba.k.atortilak2718 It is about optimisation, and he was talking about the 4060 not the 2070. There's no excuse for a game to run like ass at 1080p on a current gen card, especially when the result doesn't really look better and has artifacts all over the place.
"you can change the hue on your display if you really want to trip on acid or something"" made me chuckle. Thanks for making me start the day with a smile
@@Worgen4ik I don't buy that. There's definitely a B750 or B770 in the works. It'd make no sense for Intel to not release a successor to the A770 and A750 especially when the RTX 5070 and RX 8800 XT will be on the playground.
@@laszlozsurka8991 Intel only made the B580 and B570 because they'd already bought the wafer capacity from TSMC. They've already confirmed that their hardware teams have more-or-less moved on to Celestial and Druid.
It's nice how if you go with this for $250 you're not losing out on ray tracing and upscaling or vram like if were to go with a 4060 or a 6700 xt. So you're just getting a full package for a graphics card so long as there are no major drawbacks like driver issues or idle power draw shenanigans
Really enjoying the work of the gpu division. Excited for the future, might look into and testing the cleric or druid generations... I hope those are the names
When you test this please include Noise info. I have a very quiet environment and want to keep it that way. I was about to buy a Gforce 3080 when I saw this. My recently crashed pc.. was dead quiet. The current one is driving me nuts. And one other thing! I mostly play GuildWars2. The current GPU's fans are louder than I would like. No one ever says "online MMOs will not tax this unit". I think that is true, but not sure.
This is the RTX 3080 we never had. The 3080 Ti was just a 3090 with it's vram slashed but it's still kind of a 3090 in power consumptions and costs. $250 vs $1200 for the same 12GB of VRAM is going to fly off the shelves. Never before has 12GB VRAM been this affordable PERIOD! Sept for one AMD card-the 7600 XT at $330 isn't half bad, but $250 sounds like a discount. Not to mention Intel XeSS (on ARC cards) being better than FSR by a wide margin, even DP4a 1.6 is fightin hard here.
$50 less for 7600 xt and 4060 performance is just not exciting since new gpus will hit the market in a few months, should've been $200 or higher performance imo.
There will be no GPU's dropping at the 250 price point for a hot minute. The market for this card is not the ones gunning for the top of the line but the best performance per dollar and assuming their marketing isn't complete cap it's going to be running pretty uncontested for a while in the 300 or less range. At the very least the aggressive pricing will at least threaten AMD to lower their last gen card prices to match.
@@LvcIvsLIcInIvsLvcvllvs It's not about running a charity, i'm simply not buying intel over nvidia at $50 less for the same performance and neither is majority of the market.

RESULTADO = Me ahorre 27 minutos que podría haber perdido mirando tu video y evitare ver tu contenido.
It likely will. But with how AMD and Nvidia's product stacks are right now, Intel's best shot at getting some market share is launching the 500 series first. Wonder if they'll even bother with a discrete 300 series this generation.
Click bait crap, what is the point of just holding the card, in the most annoying way, then regurgitating the stuff everyone else has said already. Thumbs down for the flickery it at the beginning.
Bro you could've just printed out a picture of the card for this video. Why do you make a 30 minute video telling us what Intel has said about the card, while you have the card? With your "I guess we are going to see the benchmarks", you have the fucking card, you can do benchmarks. You having the card means you can actually review it instead of reading their ads about it.
One thing to remember is the use of lumen and nanite in ue5 modern titles. A lot of games have these active with no choice to turn it off. Having more raytracing cores could increase the performance dramatically in these games
Lumen and Nanite need proper developer oversight and optimization, or they’ll tank performance. Too many developers rely on UE5’s default toolset and a 'max fidelity at any cost' approach instead of fine-tuning it. UE5 wasn’t meant to be used this way-it’s flexible but demands skilled engineers to optimize features like Lumen and Nanite for specific projects. Look at Bodycam: impressive for being built by just two developers, but it highlights the limits of under-resourced development which just mirrors an industry-wide issue: studios skimping on talent and passing performance issues onto hardware rather than fixing them. Why invest in software engineers when you can just check boxes and rely on hardware to cover inefficiencies? This is why people wrongly blame Nvidia for DLSS and frame generation issues. Those technologies were designed as a value for users, not as crutches for lazy development, but we're already seeing irresponsible devs leaning on them in their minimum hardware requirements to mask their shortcomings.
@@xilix Mostly true except later, both DLSS and later FG were developed to justify that big part of die they force you to buy just because they purposely design them with AI in mind back then. Sooner or later normal consumers would start to ask question about that so Nvidia have a choice - spend half a billion designing more SKUs or just throw 50M to software engineers to make some use of it for gamers.
You know what’s funny. The fact that literally since the announcement I’ve picturing you doing a review on them dressed the way you are. I’m so glad you get to give a look at the card I want first lol
The only problem is the awkward timing, we know nvidia and amd will release new gen in next few months. If this released a year earlier it will be great, for now it's good card for value but will it be the same in next few months?
If anything, this is likely to be the most well-timed launch of any recent Intel consumer product - actually slipping in while the established players are busy intentionally neglecting this segment. Though it's unlikely that supply is going to be particularly good for these cards, which is a bummer if it manages to catch a wave of interest.
Well, I doubt Nvidia would make the 5060 a good value card. If anything, I am expecting it to be an 8gb card again, but 20% faster than the 4060, while selling for $300 or $350. If this happens, then price to performance wise, the B580 will win. It's AMD that I can't make a good guess on with their 8600.
@@fedrecedriz6868 Nvidias lowest performance GPU is just that, why people him and haw, complain, etc when all you have to do is stick a pry-bar in your wallet and get the GPU you need, or buy a lesser AMD or perhaps Intel version and quit bellyaching
I could see b580 being the 4060 8gb replacement since the ti version with 16gb cost over 450 dollars and the b570 stomps the 3050 8gb by price and performance the 3050 is complete joke when released
B570 would most likely land as a 4060 performance but with 10gb vram and probably even faster. B580 is a succesor to an A580 An A580 was supposed to outperform a 3060 but couldn't due to alchemist microarchitecture being deficient (they showed the improvement in the xe slide). A750 and a770 was targeting 3070ti performance. So intel next cards in B series would scale greatly. For now this is is great. Although they're pretty far behind I don't think it matters much because that aspect depends on the suppport of consumers and buyers.
I'm actually in the market for around 500-600$ card, waiting for next gen right now. But happy to see such performance uplift in entry level gaming space. Wish the 5070 /rx8800xt also give such a performance uplift.
I would love to see how it performs with deep link with the new-gen intel cpus. I would love to see intel use their APU along with their gpus for better processing and gaming power.
That would be a relief, I remember Alchemist had a lot of problems in Linux in the beginning, and I lost interest in them before they reached feature parity, if they ever did.
@@EduardoSantiagoDev can confirm this myself as an A750 owner(on an arch linux rig) the drivers are stable and improved pretty often... as a 1080P gamer i'm quite happy with since it runs my entire gaming catalog with no issues usually with maxed out(or close to) settings. I got mine fairly close after launch when the drivers weren't up to snuff yet so it was well under the MSRP price(around 40$ less if i properly recall it) and paired it up with an i5 on a H610M Gigabyte mobo and 64Gb RAM and a 500gb SSD(hosts only the OS and games i'm currently playing)&1Tb HDD(that stores everything else) ... its been quite a worth while bang for the buck budget build that will last me for a few more decent years of 1080P gaming. PS:about ray tracing... who even gives a damn ?! i'm mostly into RTS games&good quality indie RPGs 😉
HD 6950 MSRP was $300 whereas the HD 6970 MSRP was $370 - The GTX 570 MSRP was $350 whereas the GTX 580 MSRP was $500. These were the costs of GPU's in 2010 - 2011.
Interested to see how it performs in multimedia production in terms of video decoding, encoding and supported codecs? There is life around video cards outside of gaming. Even support for gpu based vst sound effects is growing. Since I read they have dual encoding engines and can work with the intel processors built in Quick Sinc hardware encoder version 6-9. Could be a good value for money video card.
Given this is an entry level card and there isn't going to be a mid or high end one, I feel like it would have made a lot more sense to just forget about ray tracing altogether and spend that money on raster. If it didn't have RT but had the raster of a 4060Ti or even a 4070 it might actually have been interesting and it wouldn't be made immediately redundant in a month.
I assumed you would play some games and share your experience with us, as you have the gpu and the ability to test it. I have watched numerous videos about this gpu, but they primarily focused on especifications and comparisons with the 4060 without offering much else of interest.
You should have run some initial benchmarks I have the GPU & the same information the rest of world does is of little use Cyberpunk and Tomb Raiders built in benchmarks would have been a great indicator
Hopefully Intel gets some sales before the 8600 and 5060 come out. They are definitely going to have to drop the price when this becomes a last gen part on the least supported drivers.
I’m excited
Leave anything you want me to specifically test on it and I’ll see if I can make that happen

The design's simplicity and plainness appeal to me, and its entirely black color scheme is particularly impressive.
"XI" in "Draw XI" stands for "Execute Indirect" which allows the GPU to manage and execute a series of rendering commands without constant oversight from the CPU. In other words, it's a technique that reduces the CPU bottleneck used in modern games. The A series didn't have XI support in hardware, and had to be emulated in software, incurring a major performance penalty.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is one game that I know of which makes heavy use of execute indirect. It would be a good title to put into your test suite IMO

I'm really looking forward for these new Intel GPU generation . I just recently bought secondhand A750 for about 130 USD for some light gaming.
Wow man affordable gpus am I dreaming ?

Agreed, just a sleek black design without heaps of RGB puke. I'm all for it.
AMD should be scared. Intel already having more "anti lag" options lmao
Hey if all else fails, they still dominate the console market at this point and even won the deal with Sony for the PS6 against Intel so that's a plus I guess
The one thing giving me pause right now is the fact that on a lot of these comparison charts, Intel is clearly leveraging XeSS a lot. Looking forward to the reviews with some real world data.
Here's hoping that they're actually as powerful in the real world.
Agreed but also pretty hopeful as XeSS is already way better than any FSR. Intel main issue was driver support, which just gets ironed out with time and use data. Think imma build a budget PC with intel card and give it away for xmas
Yeah, and intel has better performance on XeSS than non-intel cards, it’s “technically” a fair comparison, but kinda sus. If the 4060 was on DLSS, it might be faster, although ever since XeSS 1.3, it typically get similar perf as DLSS
XeSS looks like total trash compared to DLSS...
@@vextakes It sucks that we're the guinea pigs training the AI, but at this point it's unavoidable. Eventually it'll be the norm if it already isn't becoming it.

Basically Intel did fudge some of the numbers in certain games, giving them a clear win, when it in reality they numbers should have been less. Yall should go check that out. Great video as always my man!!!
I love this video it was soo good i finished all 27 minutes in about hmm 80 seconds

best comment. I can relate
i want Intel to build something to compete with the 5080! i rekon if this model does well they should compete! AMD stepped down on higher end GPU's i think INtel need to step up!
7:25 Still over 58% of people on steam use 1080p. That’s not changing till 1440p is as cheap or cheaper than 1080p monitors
And judging by how demanding UE5 games are getting I think 1080p is still gonna stay for a while longer
I take way higher framerate and overall smoother performance with native 1080p any day over the slightly higher DPI image with 1440p. Doesn't matter what the monitor costs, the PC is the expensive part..
Proportion of what is being used now is not the same as proportion of what people want to buy now. People buying new GPUs at this moment probably would get 1440p if they are gonna buy a display in the current market.
They're already cheap. You can get a 27-inch 2K 180Hz monitor from ViewSonic for around $150.
High refresh rate 1440P monitors are cheap just a few years ago people were paying the same price for high refresh rate 1080P monitors. Building a PC to run 1440P at high frames is a different story.
For those that haven't seen the latest MLID vid on Battlemage it is pretty much DOA, they are losing between $30-$60 a card so they will only release enough to burn through the stock required of the TSMC contract and then pull the plug. They have already fired HALF the GPU division so expect driver support to be poor and only last a couple years and after this Celestial will be iGPU only.
You can thank now fired CEO Pat Gelsinger for this as TSMC had given them a sweetheart deal with 40% off the wafers then he made a crack about Taiwan in an interview which caused TSMC to revoke the discount so they are having to pay $23,000 per wafer instead of $13,800 which means there is no way they can even sell these at break even. That one crack was the final nail in the coffin for ARC sadly, but what can you expect from the CEO that canceled their new CPU design, sold so many divisions like Optane, all to chase an AI ship that had already sailed.
As an AMD user I cant wait and hope this can compete with other mid-ranged GPUs in both performance and price because we really competition in the market
Competition in the GPU market doesn't exist, 4060 is king for the budget because of fram gen. It gives 70-100% better performance than 3060. That's why Nvidia has 90% market share in gaming gpus. Amd doesn't even make most of their money from gamers that's why they don't wanna compete with 4090 or 5090.

Congrats on 100k subs! ❤❤
But can it SLI?
We haven't had this pricing since the rx 480 was released 8 years ago let that sink in. Both nvidia and amd have been upping the price of bottom tier gpus rtx 4060/4060ti/Rx 7600
I hope the benchmarks are accurate. Time will tell
Honestly, one of the 3 companies needs to normalize 16 GB minimum card vram. It's easy enough to do, drop the speed of the vram to a gen prior, say gddr6 to gddr5 or maybe even create a mixed memory balancing algo so you can half and half it and give players more bang for less money on low end cards - you don't go ballistic ultra settings on your game as a result, but you also dont stutter due to every "AAA" studio sucking at optimization on a current gen GPU like with nvidia's entry level market
Games just need more optimization to run 6gb
Its not really about the optimization, its the sheer scale of games that needs to be processed. Games are just way too complex to run smoothly on 2070.
I think they could easily fix this in two ways: make separate installs for quality settings (if you only want 1080p, you can remove 4k and 1440p resolutions) and increasing gbs to 12. 16 is kinda nutty tbh, I don't think we need that much until you get to high fps 1440p (Or unoptimized UE5 slop)
@@kebaba.k.atortilak2718 It is about optimisation, and he was talking about the 4060 not the 2070. There's no excuse for a game to run like ass at 1080p on a current gen card, especially when the result doesn't really look better and has artifacts all over the place.

It's nice how if you go with this for $250 you're not losing out on ray tracing and upscaling or vram like if were to go with a 4060 or a 6700 xt. So you're just getting a full package for a graphics card so long as there are no major drawbacks like driver issues or idle power draw shenanigans
Congrats on 100k man, keep it up!
Really enjoying the work of the gpu division. Excited for the future, might look into and testing the cleric or druid generations... I hope those are the names
When you test this please include Noise info. I have a very quiet environment and want to keep it that way. I was about to buy a Gforce 3080 when I saw this. My recently crashed pc.. was dead quiet. The current one is driving me nuts.
And one other thing! I mostly play GuildWars2. The current GPU's fans are louder than I would like. No one ever says "online MMOs will not tax this unit". I think that is true, but not sure.
This is the RTX 3080 we never had. The 3080 Ti was just a 3090 with it's vram slashed but it's still kind of a 3090 in power consumptions and costs. $250 vs $1200 for the same 12GB of VRAM is going to fly off the shelves. Never before has 12GB VRAM been this affordable PERIOD! Sept for one AMD card-the 7600 XT at $330 isn't half bad, but $250 sounds like a discount. Not to mention Intel XeSS (on ARC cards) being better than FSR by a wide margin, even DP4a 1.6 is fightin hard here.
$50 less for 7600 xt and 4060 performance is just not exciting since new gpus will hit the market in a few months, should've been $200 or higher performance imo.
There will be no GPU's dropping at the 250 price point for a hot minute. The market for this card is not the ones gunning for the top of the line but the best performance per dollar and assuming their marketing isn't complete cap it's going to be running pretty uncontested for a while in the 300 or less range. At the very least the aggressive pricing will at least threaten AMD to lower their last gen card prices to match.
Intel can always drop the price. Why run a charity?
@@LvcIvsLIcInIvsLvcvllvs It's not about running a charity, i'm simply not buying intel over nvidia at $50 less for the same performance and neither is majority of the market.

I'm interested in seeing what the B770 will end up looking like. (if one will exist)
It likely will. But with how AMD and Nvidia's product stacks are right now, Intel's best shot at getting some market share is launching the 500 series first. Wonder if they'll even bother with a discrete 300 series this generation.
Click bait crap, what is the point of just holding the card, in the most annoying way, then regurgitating the stuff everyone else has said already. Thumbs down for the flickery it at the beginning.

I love how that thing looks. They took the last gen model and improved on it visually
One thing to remember is the use of lumen and nanite in ue5 modern titles. A lot of games have these active with no choice to turn it off. Having more raytracing cores could increase the performance dramatically in these games
While lumen be (but it's not requirement) hardware accelerated nanite can't care less about number of RT accelerators your card have.
Lumen and Nanite need proper developer oversight and optimization, or they’ll tank performance. Too many developers rely on UE5’s default toolset and a 'max fidelity at any cost' approach instead of fine-tuning it. UE5 wasn’t meant to be used this way-it’s flexible but demands skilled engineers to optimize features like Lumen and Nanite for specific projects. Look at Bodycam: impressive for being built by just two developers, but it highlights the limits of under-resourced development which just mirrors an industry-wide issue: studios skimping on talent and passing performance issues onto hardware rather than fixing them. Why invest in software engineers when you can just check boxes and rely on hardware to cover inefficiencies? This is why people wrongly blame Nvidia for DLSS and frame generation issues. Those technologies were designed as a value for users, not as crutches for lazy development, but we're already seeing irresponsible devs leaning on them in their minimum hardware requirements to mask their shortcomings.
@@xilix Mostly true except later, both DLSS and later FG were developed to justify that big part of die they force you to buy just because they purposely design them with AI in mind back then. Sooner or later normal consumers would start to ask question about that so Nvidia have a choice - spend half a billion designing more SKUs or just throw 50M to software engineers to make some use of it for gamers.
This is what I plan on using in my budget build come Jan or Feb. Supporting competition.
You know what’s funny. The fact that literally since the announcement I’ve picturing you doing a review on them dressed the way you are. I’m so glad you get to give a look at the card I want first lol
Congrats on the review sample! You're the first content creator I follow that got a review, keep the good work up!
A budget card targeting QHD is exactly what I need I hope this turns out decent.
The only problem is the awkward timing, we know nvidia and amd will release new gen in next few months. If this released a year earlier it will be great, for now it's good card for value but will it be the same in next few months?
Yes, but the rtx 5060 and the rx 8600 will probably not launch before spring or in late summer -25, so still quite a head start.
If anything, this is likely to be the most well-timed launch of any recent Intel consumer product - actually slipping in while the established players are busy intentionally neglecting this segment.
Though it's unlikely that supply is going to be particularly good for these cards, which is a bummer if it manages to catch a wave of interest.
Well, I doubt Nvidia would make the 5060 a good value card.
If anything, I am expecting it to be an 8gb card again, but 20% faster than the 4060, while selling for $300 or $350.
If this happens, then price to performance wise, the B580 will win.
It's AMD that I can't make a good guess on with their 8600.
You can't release a GPU before its developed, what should they have done? Wait until theres more competition in a few months or release it now?
@@fedrecedriz6868 Nvidias lowest performance GPU is just that, why people him and haw, complain, etc when all you have to do is stick a pry-bar in your wallet and get the GPU you need, or buy a lesser AMD or perhaps Intel version and quit bellyaching
Good that they are targeting the entry-level market and not the 1% top-end AI market.
I could see b580 being the 4060 8gb replacement since the ti version with 16gb cost over 450 dollars and the b570 stomps the 3050 8gb by price and performance the 3050 is complete joke when released
B570 would most likely land as a 4060 performance but with 10gb vram and probably even faster.
B580 is a succesor to an A580
An A580 was supposed to outperform a 3060 but couldn't due to alchemist microarchitecture being deficient (they showed the improvement in the xe slide).
A750 and a770 was targeting 3070ti performance.
So intel next cards in B series would scale greatly.
For now this is is great.
Although they're pretty far behind I don't think it matters much because that aspect depends on the suppport of consumers and buyers.
I'm actually in the market for around 500-600$ card, waiting for next gen right now. But happy to see such performance uplift in entry level gaming space. Wish the 5070 /rx8800xt also give such a performance uplift.
3:04 Bro is collection chrome's tabs 💀
Lets go!!!!!
Let's go
I would love to see how it performs with deep link with the new-gen intel cpus. I would love to see intel use their APU along with their gpus for better processing and gaming power.
How well is it currently supported on Linux?
This! Really hoping it will be better than the Alchemist cards (for gaming)
alchemist works fine on linux, same as their integrated gpus.
Given that intel drivers are open source and being updated constantly, as in 1-2 update every week, i'd say pretty well supported
That would be a relief, I remember Alchemist had a lot of problems in Linux in the beginning, and I lost interest in them before they reached feature parity, if they ever did.
@@EduardoSantiagoDev can confirm this myself as an A750 owner(on an arch linux rig) the drivers are stable and improved pretty often... as a 1080P gamer i'm quite happy with since it runs my entire gaming catalog with no issues usually with maxed out(or close to) settings.
I got mine fairly close after launch when the drivers weren't up to snuff yet so it was well under the MSRP price(around 40$ less if i properly recall it) and paired it up with an i5 on a H610M Gigabyte mobo and 64Gb RAM and a 500gb SSD(hosts only the OS and games i'm currently playing)&1Tb HDD(that stores everything else) ... its been quite a worth while bang for the buck budget build that will last me for a few more decent years of 1080P gaming.
PS:about ray tracing... who even gives a damn ?! i'm mostly into RTS games&good quality indie RPGs 😉
Where are you Vex. Is everything okay?
Im excited about a 250$ card good job intel. Need higher end tho
This was way more thorough than I expected.
I like the design of this card, no stupid leds or over the top chrome.
A healthy on-die cache can help make up for the bandwith reduction. AMD showed this on their current cards.
The b580 makes me want to take fent
Is there any reason not to buy a titan in 2025? Get rid of ray tracing crap
Entry level price of $250... oh how times have changed. A long time ago you could get almost top of the range for that price.
Cool it's not 2005 anymore. nothing costs what It once did 20 years ago.....
What in the medieval period?
bro bought his first gpu in doubloons
Wow it's not 2005 anymore, crazy right?
HD 6950 MSRP was $300 whereas the HD 6970 MSRP was $370 - The GTX 570 MSRP was $350 whereas the GTX 580 MSRP was $500. These were the costs of GPU's in 2010 - 2011.
Let me know when the real review come out.
Interested to see how it performs in multimedia production in terms of video decoding, encoding and supported codecs? There is life around video cards outside of gaming. Even support for gpu based vst sound effects is growing. Since I read they have dual encoding engines and can work with the intel processors built in Quick Sinc hardware encoder version 6-9. Could be a good value for money video card.
I'm so hyped, i really hope Intel succeeds with gpu's and Nvidia might have competition.
No
I love that intel gave you a review sample! Congrats :))
Given this is an entry level card and there isn't going to be a mid or high end one, I feel like it would have made a lot more sense to just forget about ray tracing altogether and spend that money on raster. If it didn't have RT but had the raster of a 4060Ti or even a 4070 it might actually have been interesting and it wouldn't be made immediately redundant in a month.
Given the uprise in games that simply require RT hardware acceleration to run with playable framerates at all I don't think that'd be a wise decision.
I assumed you would play some games and share your experience with us, as you have the gpu and the ability to test it. I have watched numerous videos about this gpu, but they primarily focused on especifications and comparisons with the 4060 without offering much else of interest.
You should have run some initial benchmarks I have the GPU & the same information the rest of world does is of little use Cyberpunk and Tomb Raiders built in benchmarks would have been a great indicator
Yeah, and I'm sure he will when the Embargo lifts like everyone else
Hopefully Intel gets some sales before the 8600 and 5060 come out. They are definitely going to have to drop the price when this becomes a last gen part on the least supported drivers.
This card reminds me of good old rx 580 days.
Im glad you got a review sample, keep it up brother
dont blame the 4060, it is the only card with reasonable power consumption.
