![]() The A380 supports ray tracing, DirectX 12 Ultimate, Adaptive Sync, Variable Rate Shading (VRS) and more. Load up Halo Infinite, on the other hand, and you'll likely hear the fans spin up, but if the Striped Axial fans in ASRock's AMD Radeon RX 6000-series are anything to go by - it won't be loud. This effectively means when you are working on a spreadsheet and don't need the Arc 380 to kick in, your GPU will happily sit at an optimal temperature in complete silence. For optimal cooling (and lower power draw) the fan spins when the temperature increases, and stops if the temperature goes low. The 0db rating comes from the spin/stop feature, which will be music to the ears of those who do not solely use their PC for gaming. This discrete, small form factor GPU has a Striped Axial single fan design, for enhanced airflow, and to optimize GPU cooling. Intel Arc A380 best features Striped Axial Fan - 0db silent running ![]() Minecraft, Roblox and Esports titles will be high on their list of priorities, if they have any sense. The other side of the coin, making this not-so-bad-news-after-all is if Intel ensures they have driver support for the consumer market segment that matters most in this price range, they will do just fine. They have to start somewhere, and when you see the performance in new games achieving better results than the AMD RX 6400, for example, you can put this down to Intel's architectural advantage and driver support. Intel are certainly going to ramp up this side of the project, and like all other manufacturers entering a market, they are going to need time and support from consumers. Because Intel Arc is new, the driver support for games - particularly older ones - is not great. The bad news is actually a double-edged sword, in that it's not as bad as it could be. Right now, this is not the mid-range GPU we expected, but its the entry level GPU we deserve. The Intel Arc based entry level gaming PCs we're going to see coming out will be priced at the lowest end of the spectrum. The good news is, you are getting great value for money, and it's not difficult to imagine who this graphics card will appeal to: parents. There's good news and bad news for anyone buying the A380 early on. Though, it's worth noting Arc GPUs are less than ideal for people with older operating systems, thanks to ReBAR (Resizable Base Address Register), which is going to be a required feature to play at acceptable performance levels. The benchmarks we've seen for the A380 thus far have been encouraging. Whatever is happening with the rest of the line-up, this is official specifications and what the actual benchmarks are based on, which we've seen from Gamer's Nexus and other reliable sources, alongside the Intel Arc A750 in recent months.ģ x DisplayPort™ 2.0 with DSC / 1 x HDMI™ 2.0b ![]() If we set aside the leaks and rumblings from around the internet for a moment, and take a look at the official Arc website for gaming GPUs, we can now see the A380 is the only graphics card mentioned. There has been quite a lot of discussion around whether Intel is cancelling their graphics card project, with scathing comments and murmurs coming from leakers like prolific YouTube creator Moore's Law Is Dead. ![]() With a massive share of the GPU market, gaming is at the top of everyone's list when we're discussing Intel Arc. From laptops to workstations, and paying close attention to gamers, Intel have covered all their bases, staking their claim in the graphics cards landscape.Ī few days ago, however, the biggest news in the Arc saga came out - the Intel Arc A380 is shipping on 22nd August in the USA, available for limited backorder online. If you have cast your longing eyes across the Intel Arc website, you are now greeted with lots of specifications and a smattering of marketing buzz-words to whet your appetite for the GPU range from Team Blue.
