Intel Arc A380

At $139 it is well below MSRP, however, in my opinion it is still too expensive. It's definitely not a gamer card, and its place in the HTPC world is rather high priced. I would probably just buy an APU like the 5600G.

@W1zzard would it be possible to do some quick tests with the latest driver after the arc750/arc770 review to see if/how much of an improvement there is?

Very good, almost matches my 1060 3GB 4 years later for the same amount of money.


But seriously, who is this card for? It's shit value for gaming, it's too expensive to just be a display expansion card...

This is not tested unfortunately, this card is the to-go card if you are a hardcore media server builder, as it has the best transcoding capabilities for the price, and in fact of very good quality even factoring in all possible options in the market.
In particular, it’s one of the very first GPU to support hardware-accelerated AV1 encoding, which will enable streaming in even better quality given the same bandwidth.
I just bought one for my NAS after reviewing how people like it in the Jellyfin subreddit.
