Intel Arc A380 GPU is barely more than $100 now - and a steal at that price

Darren Allan | Jun 22, 2023 9:40 AM CDT

Intel's Arc A380 graphics card has hit an all-time low in terms of pricing, with a current offer at Newegg in the US that may prove very tempting to those looking for a truly cheap gaming GPU (where options are thin on the ground).

Hardware Unboxed tracks pricing on Newegg and in a new YouTube video, points out that the Arc A380 has sunk to $120 as of this month. Previously over the past couple of months, pricing was holding at the MSRP of $140 (though we have seen this GPU at $120 briefly before that).

In actual fact, Newegg has an offer on (that expires at the end of today, mind, while stocks last) for an extra 10% off certain GPUs, this A380 model included, meaning you can pick it up at even more of a bargain at $108 (using the mentioned code at checkout).

NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPUs listed with ridiculous pricing - but don't panic yet

Early glimpses of RTX 4060 pricing in Europe are somewhat alarming, but there are some big caveats here (fortunately).

German site PC Games Hardware spotted the RTX 4060 listings (via VideoCardz) at a Finnish retailer, Proshop.

That outlet has the ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4060 listed (pre-release - the GPU will theoretically be on sale next week, if rumors are right) at €490-500. Yikes indeed.

GeForce RTX 4060 leaked benchmarks show up to a 20% performance boost over the RTX 3060

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 21, 2023 10:57 PM CDT

With the GeForce RTX 4060 launch next week, stay tuned for our full review; it was only a matter of time before benchmark results and other info started to pop up online. And with that, some results have shown up over at Geekbench with RTX 4060 numbers for OpenCL and Vulkan API tests (via Benchleaks).

GeForce RTX 4060 leaked benchmarks show up to a 20% performance boost over the RTX 3060

Based on averages for the GeForce RTX 3060 in similar tests, it looks like the GeForce RTX 4060 is up to 20% faster than its Ampere-based predecessor. As these results only cover one specific system and configuration and are synthetic, it's probably best not to assume that this is what you should expect regarding actual in-game performance. Geekbench results are somewhat known for not correlating to in-game performance.

However, the up to 20% figure aligns with what NVIDIA shared when it announced the GeForce RTX 4060. So there's that.

Intel is no longer making Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition graphics cards

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 21, 2023 10:32 PM CDT

Intel has released a PCN or Product Change Notification for the Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition graphics card with 16GB of VRAM, effective June 20, 2023. This means that Intel will no longer be producing its high-end Intel Arc GPU, though it has confirmed to PC Gamer that it's "still producing silicon for AIBs."

Intel is no longer making Arc A770 16GB Limited Edition graphics cards

So, the news affects Intel-produced Arc A770 GPUs, the models most associated with the line-up, and the best-selling Arc variants as per data found on Newegg. The good news is that Intel has partnered with companies like Acer and Sparkle to create Arc GPUs, with both companies launching or announcing that they have A770 models on the way.

Though the list of AIBs is much shorter than what you'd find for AMD or NVIDIA GPUs. Still, you can pick up the Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 16GB for USD 339.99 at Newegg, 15% off the MSRP of USD 399.99.

Nintendo Switch emulation team at YUZU calls NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 Ti a 'serious downgrade'

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 20, 2023 9:58 PM CDT

With the recent launch of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, there has been a lot of discussion around the card's switch to a 128-bit bus for memory and the overall capacity remaining stagnant at 8GB. But with NVIDIA bumping up the L2 Cache, delivering improved 1% lows in our benchmarks, and additional features like DLSS 3 proving to be worthwhile even at 1080p, our favorable review focused on these new Ada Lovelace features and the GPU's impressive efficiency.

But it looks like these features don't make up for the overall downgrade to the memory bus when it comes to PC emulation of the Nintendo Switch hardware. With the recent release of the groundbreaking The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Switch emulation is a hot topic right now, and the team behind the YUZU platform has shared some not-so-kind words about the new GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.

The team calls NVIDIA's latest GPU "a terrible investment" for those interested in Switch emulation, with the complete statement pulling no punches. Check it out.

Current top-selling GPUs at Newegg are discounted GeForce RTX 3060 and Radeon RX 6600 cards

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 20, 2023 9:34 PM CDT

We're now well and truly into the latest generation of graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD, with the former set to release its new mainstream GPU offering, the GeForce RTX 4060, on June 29. On the AMD front, we've seen the flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, alongside the recent release of its mainstream offering, the Radeon RX 7600.

With the MSRP of the GeForce RTX 4060 set to USD 299 and AMD's Radeon RX 7600 at USD 269, these entries, although not exciting when it comes to raw performance, both feature competitive price points compared to their previous generation counterpart launches.

With the RTX 4060 arriving soon and the Radeon RX 7600 still relatively new on the scene, we thought we'd look at the current best-selling GPUs over at US-based retailer Newegg to gauge the market for new graphics cards.

AMD RX 7800 XT GPU could be arriving soon with 16GB of VRAM

Darren Allan | Jun 20, 2023 6:13 AM CDT

AMD could be cooking up an RX 7800 XT graphics card to arrive sooner than many expected, if the GPU grapevine proves to be on the money.

AMD RX 7800 XT GPU could be arriving soon with 16GB of VRAM

This leak comes from a regular on Twitter, Harukaze5719, who spotted ASRock filing a couple of RX 7800 XT models with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).

The graphics cards in question are the ASRock RX 7800 XT PG 16GO and the RX 7800 XT PGW 16GO. As you can see, this is a weighty clue that the GPU will be equipped with 16GB of video RAM (as previously rumored).

Inno3D's new GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs to feature Stealth Cable Management

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 20, 2023 12:58 AM CDT

Inno3D has formally announced that its new GeForce RTX 4070, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, and GeForce RTX 4060 Twin X2 and OC White Edition graphics cards will feature its new Stealth Cable Management system. We spotted this a little over a week ago, but Inno3D's official announcement outlines that the company is serious about improving cable management and bringing these new models to a wider audience.

"By placing the power connectors on the back of the GPU, these graphics cards offer a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing look for custom PC builds," Inno3D writes, noting that the hidden cable trend seen at Computex 2023 is the beginning of a big change for overall GPU designs.

Putting the power connectors on the back of these new GPUs, with an added removable backplate for more stealth action, makes cable management cleaner but also helps simplify the installation process. And it just looks better.

Expensive NVIDIA H100 Hopper AI graphics card put to the test in gaming benchmarks

Kosta Andreadis | Jun 20, 2023 12:29 AM CDT

The NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU is built for AI workloads, designed to work alongside a string of other H100 GPUs, and costs around USD 40,000 a pop. It's a general-purpose GPU and AI accelerator, so it is not designed for graphics or gaming - it lacks any display output.

Still, you might be wondering how it handles gaming workloads because, after all, if you had access to an NVIDIA supercomputer or high-end AI GPU, you'd probably be wondering how it handles something like Cyberpunk 2077 and its cutting-edge Ray Tracing Overdrive Mode.

Hardware-wise, it's a beast, with 14592 CUDA cores and 80GB of HBM3 memory with an effective bandwidth of 2TB/s. It also uses the PCI Express 5.0 interface, something that's still not available on the GeForce RTX 40 Series. But there's no cooling because it is data center rack-based and has no display, so getting it to run games requires some work.

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti GPU has dropped well below MSRP already

Darren Allan | Jun 19, 2023 10:00 AM CDT

NVIDIA's RTX 4060 Ti has been on shelves for less than a month, but this graphics card has already fallen considerably below its recommended retail price (MSRP) - or at least one model has.

NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti GPU has dropped well below MSRP already

That would be a version of the graphics card from MSI, to be precise, the company's Ventus GeForce RTX 4060 Ti OC (and yes, as the name indicates, this is an overclocked model).

Despite not being a base card, you can now get the MSI Ventus 2X for $380, which is a 5% discount or $20 off (as VideoCardz spotted).
