Intel has an incredibly difficult year – but at last, the company's dedicated graphics card initiative has produced a card worth celebrating. Although we haven't managed to review it ourselves due to a temporary issue, the $250 Arch B580 “BattleMage” GPU, which launched to almost universal praise, is already sold out everywhere, and Intel tells The Verge It is working on shipping new units every week.
“Demand for the Arch B580 graphics card is high and many retailers have sold out of their initial inventory. “We expect weekly inventory replenishment of Intel Arc B580 Limited Edition graphics cards and are working with partners to ensure stable availability of options in the market,” explains Intel spokesperson Mark Anthony Ramirez. The Verge.
To give you an idea, here are some of the headlines we've seen on reviews of this card:
While reviewers have shown the B580 Not there. Beat the 4060 and 7600 in every game, especially for gamers who still play at 1080p resolution, it appears to be moving forward on average, the drivers seem more mature than Intel's earlier efforts, and The low price and generous 12GB of video RAM make it relatively easy to recommend.
If you can find one for $250, that is – which you probably can't, since they sell out so quickly. for what it's worth, Steve Walton of Hardware Unboxed don't think This is a so-called “paper launch” where a manufacturer ships a few components for bragging rights rather than mass-producing a product; He said manufacturers, retailers and distributors told him the supply of cards was “pretty ample.”
