Packaging

Note the missing letter in "unknown". Surprising that nobody at Intel looked at the package design before release (or nobody noticed, or cared).

The Card

Visually the Gunnir Arc A380 looks nice; the cooler shroud has plenty of surface details and uses a clean black color theme. On the back you'll find a high-quality metal backplate with some "Intel blue" highlights.


Dimensions of the card are 22.5 x 11.5 cm, and it weighs 694 g.


Installation requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.0b.


The card has one 8-pin power input. This configuration is rated for up to 225 W of power draw.

Teardown

The Gunnir thermal solution uses a single double-length heatpipe that makes direct contact with the GPU chip surface. The actual heatsink is aluminium and provides cooling not only for the GPU, but also the memory chips. The VRMs are uncooled and there is barely any airflow reaching them, but given the low power requirements this should be no problem.


The metal backplate protects the card during installation and handling.
