When I was looking for graphics, I didn't want to limit myself in the near future, so I was looking for graphics with at least 12GB VRAM and under 7,5k, so the first choice fell on RTX 3060 (12GB). I want the card primarily for video editing, I'm not a gamer, and this is where I'm stuck with the RX 3060 as it doesn't support GPU render to the latest AV1 format. Not that I use the AV1 codec, but why limit yourself in the same price range for the possible future. RTX3060 can only decode AV1, but not encode. With it, it would go long through the CPU, but I didn't want that. Then I came across the Intel Arc B580, which can and does outperform even the RTX 4060 cards by almost 40% on cut and render, which although they already have GPU support for AV1, are slower to render, but even in overall benchmarks the Arc B580 was better in performance than the RTX 4060, which by the way for the same money only has 8GB of memory. So the price-performance ratio clearly spoke for Intel, despite the fact that it was written everywhere that the drivers are not yet 100pro, but Intel is said to be working hard on it and releasing frequent updates and there should already be more or less enough things debugged. The card also has a nice unique design and what I have to highlight is the very low noise level, the card at least my piece is inaudible, and when I loaded it in FurMark to 100% it was still very, very quiet that I had to check if the fans were spinning at all. otherwise at 100% at FullHD, the card took 150W and did not exceed 70˚C which is not too bad, if the numbers are to be believed. I think the card still has a performance margin for possible overclocking. The TDP is 190, which seems like a lot, but in practice it's around 100-140W under load, and even in the same games it's less than the more paper-efficient RTX 4060. During office work the fans are off, but they start up quite early, already when you start a video for example. Without a load, it draws more watts than the competition. The price with the gold account was a pleasant 7 268, - which corresponds to the US prices of 260USD after deducting VAT. For me, for the price, this 12GB card with performance between the RTX 4060 and 4070 has no competition. Clearly Intel isn't that prolaklenej and in future sales of the card if you want to sell it probably its price will drop more than nVidia cards. But the insider knows and the fool will then buy a more expensive nVidia or AMD. It should also be noted that a full-fledged card runs only from PCs with at least 10th Gen intel processors, i.e., for computers from 2020 and above. It is not suitable for older PCs where it is not possible to enable Resize BAR, i.e. full CPU access to video memory. After installing the card into the PC, the second monitor didn't work, it only worked after installing the Intel drivers for the card, so with the basic driver from windows only one monitor is functional, I was a bit surprised. Otherwise the intel driver installs the Take Audio driver and throws the audio to its HDMI and DisplayPort ports so the speakers stop playing, you then need to select back the soundcard on the motherboard or the one you have and where you have the speakers plugged into in the general audio settings in Win. Conclusion: I'm very happy about the card.
