Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Well, it seems that the B580 is getting plenty of love from other reviewers; which I am genuinely happy about; as we absolutely need this ARC GPU to succeed to bring affordable gaming to more people.
Now, the big question is – "Why are you the only channel that doesn't like this?!" Well, as we see in the video, I had serious issues with Ghosts and Dragon Age, then in the benchmarking process, CS2 and PC2. This meant that of the games tested across three PCs (and yes a clean install on one of them), Four games had big problems. Plus warnings in Halo and Returnal that you have an incompatible GPU. Good to great performance in the rest.
Intel also emailed us with a new driver after the initial film, as follows:
"We will post a new driver Dec 9, Monday morning Pacific Time. This driver will ONLY contain the below app-specific fixes:
Dragon Age: The Veilgard corruption and crash fixes
Ghost of Tsushima improved frametimes
Star Wars Outlaws crash fix
Black Myth: Wukong performance and crash fixes with ray tracing enabled
God of War Ragnarok texture fix
F1 24 improved frametimes
Genshin Impact crash fix"
After this, I then retested the games, and rebenchmarked the card, for the numbers you see here – so a weeks worth of testing.
I appreciate that my results are different to others out there, but it is my job to report on my experience, warts and all. How could I post a video saying that this is a perfect card, and you should all buy one, when I had these issues, of which CS and PC2 are currently unresolved?
Anything but the my honest experience would be disingenuous to you, and this video reflects my week with the ARC card. You are welcome to disagree with my verdict, but in my opinion, it is a wise choice to wait to see how this card fares after a couple of months of maturity.
I love you all – and will always give you the honest truth – it would be a lot easier to say this is great, and to run out and buy it, but that wouldn't be reflective of my experience. Thanks for listening to my ted talk.
Wow, Intel comes with a card that is slower than a almost 7 year old NV RTX2080ti . Rejoice.
You being dramatic aff
Why is this ower 330 eur
either you didnt run tests very well or you're looking for views with this clickbait title
Where are y'all getting the driver
Review should be made on reviewer experience, and this is right review. Don't downvote because you hate result he made. If someone buying a new PC for playing CS2, this review will be helpful for making money not wasted on him. This is why review exists for, to let know good and bad point about the product. If reasoning is bad(like that infamous cuphead review) then attack the reasoning, not review itself.
Im with you bro. Dont listen to these cats. I think intel did a good job but they just did way better than they did with arc so theyre receiving a lot of praise but after all the emotion is done……intel is competing in a tier where mid cards are made….its a contender….but its the best of a bunch of mid. If you dont want mid this aint the price class
There has to always be a minimum of one idiot
People are crazy. Do you want the lad the lie? Grow up. You want to know as much information as possible before making the purchase yourself.
Appreciate the honesty buddy!
Still not quite there but they improved, hope they keep on improving.
this guy only wants you to buy a 5090
The hate in the comments is wholly unnecessary. It's true most other reviewers were extremely positive about this card for good reason, but your experience is just as important as theirs are and I'm glad you showed us the difficulties.
The shill literally changed his title after he got hated on…
This must be a rage clickbait
The monitor wobble is driving me crazy….
You can cut Flagon Phage. Nobody on PC is playing it anyway. Just like Starfield, nothing of value is lost.
This guy should be reported
Whow this the only review that review not just FPS but how the Graphics card acting up realtime
Bro is still holding grudges over the CPUs
I appreciate what you do and for all your videos and hard work. I’m glad you pointed out the flaws so intel could address them. I’m glad the reviews in generally point to a great value card that will only get better over time. I’ve been rocking a 1080, so I will be upgrading to the b580 as soon as I can find it in stock.
He probably recorded this video a couple days early before the release. When there were no official driver for b580 .
But it should be fixed by now with the new one.
The review is fine. Intel set the price this low because even they know they have issues and not because they're a charity. They have to give a discount vs AMD and NV even with 12 GB mem and higher performance because their driver is still behind.
Btw 1.5 years after the RX 7600 came this is not really a big step up, this price/performance gain or even more should be the norm.
So this card is nothing extraordinary but people will hype it up because they're tired of the NV (+AMD) bs monopoly.
AMD can and will answer with lowering the prices, the question is does NV want to too or they just don't care because they have a grip on the market already.
Brother…. You’re about to get flamed. This better be a bait for views
He changed the title 😂
Lol, the 1st B580 review video that has more dislikes than likes.
Good luck with that, mate.
