Intel Arc A380 gaming performance disappoints in early review - TechSpot

Now that the first independent review of a desktop Arc graphics card is out, Intel's lack of confidence in its discrete GPUs seems warranted.

Last month, Intel said its desktop Arc A-series graphics cards would be China-exclusive for a few months.

It wouldn't be easy to find an excuse for such poor performance against a GPU that Nvidia launched back in 2019, especially since the card was paired with an Intel Core i5-12400 CPU — which is an excellent gaming CPU.

This does beg the question of whether Intel is trying to buy more time to perfect the drivers for Intel Arc, but the performance of the A380 GPU is disappointing unless you consider its relatively low price.
