    The big issue with these ARC cards is that they require a CPU/Mainboard combination that supports ReBAR/SAM, so these cards perform terribly on older CPUs (anything before Ryzen 3000 or Intel 10th gen). So they are not a good pick to slot into old/cheap workstation PCs you grab off of ebay. ETA tested on a Ryzen 7000 so this is not at all comparable to how this would run for example on an old intel 4000 series CPU. Please beware when looking for a low profile GPU for these older PCs!

      GTX 1650 or RTX a2000 are the best for old LF system. RX 6400, RTX 4060 LP and a380 LP can't get the maximum performance by either cut down pcie lane or needing new features in the PC.
      PS. Some old small form factor PCs don't have x8 pin for rtx 4060.

    The A380 should have been a good buy for older systems, but thanks to needing Re-Bar, not so much. I really think it was a bad idea for Intel to develop Arc around Re-Bar. It would have opened them up to A LOT more buyers. The A380 is about on par with a 1650, which are selling for around $150 on the used market. At $100 this would be a no brainer for those people. It is worth noting that Re-Bar can be enabled on older systems, but it requires flashing a modified BIOS to your system... so it's not for the faint of heart, but it is an option.
    For people with older systems, the 1650 or the 4060 (if you have enough power) are the best options right now. The A2000 would be as well if it weren't currently selling for over $300 on the used market, and at that point, just buy the 4060. If they came back down to around $250, I'd call it a viable option again. The "new" 3050 6GB might be an interesting option when it comes out if they sell it at the right price.

      Most of his stuff kind of is. Ideally small and retro should be relatively cheap. If you cost the stuff out that he tests, many times it is not even close. You watch and go "COOL!!!!" Then you check the components and say "STUPID!!!!!" I'd love for him to say in the video, "As of 12-1-23 this system can be put together for 1100 dollars". The likes would go down. I used to be subscribed. Now I check the videos out occasionally.
      That being said, he does put the work in and works hard. Not going to fault him for that. But he waxes eloquently about hardware sometimes that makes no economic sense for what it is supposed to be used for.

      Some of the sbc's he tests cost way more than if you just built a similar performing desktop. Smaller is not cheaper when it comes to these form factors. Retro emulation is just a common use for some of the hardware he is testing. These types of videos are for showing enthusiast level involvement in these form factors and not for finding the best price to performance ratios.

    Maybe it's not exactly apples to apples but you forgot to mention the RtX A2000. It is more expensive, but it's basically a "Quadro" version of the RTX 3060, in both 6GB and 12GB variants.

    I am very much interested in this case since a couple o months now and I really appreciate you having it featured in 3 videos so far. With the vented panels that allows vertically finned low profile gpu's to breathe, it is truly the definite case for these cards. I already have a 12400T cpu which merely has a 35w TDP and pairing it with this graphics card would result in a pc with crazy low consumption. It would not make use of the 70mm cooler clearance as this chip runs ice cold on an AXP90-X36 too right now, but that's fine. Could just grab a nice 300w flexguru modular psu with a cpu 8pin to 8pin + 6+2pin splitter and I'm set.
    The temps however are scaring me. Then again, it's the third time you use this case without feet to elevate it from the ground, making it suffocate. If you don't want to elevate it from the surface with some case feet, then just lay it down to it's back horizontally so that we can have actually relevant numbers please:)

    I GOT THIS CARD ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I got on time spy ~3600 points, I have a GA 170X G1 motherboard, I7-6700 (4cores,8t) 16GB DDR4 at 2666, and a gen 3 Crucial P3 m.2 NVME. (I will get 3200MHZ RAM) but won’t make a big difference.
    I had better computers in the past but I love this motherboard, but CAN’T enable ReBar at all, so it hurts this cards performance, and running on Gen 3x8 lanes instead of 4x8, but I believe it doesn’t affect as much because it’s a low end card so bandwidth needed is not as high.
    Great card, good price and drivers updates help a lot. I’ll upload more videos showing it’s performance, but anything older than 10 GEN INTEL PROCESSORS AND 5000 Series AMD, will hurt performance.
    I love ETA Reviews.

    the 1650 outperforms the a380 BUT given the price difference if i had nothing i would buy the a380. my 1650 cost me twice as much for not twice the performance. the one i want to see is the low profile a580 if someone would make one, the a580 double the performance of the 1650.

    It's 150 Euros im Germany. If I would want to buy a card because my budget is low, I would buy an older 1060 6gb for up to 70 Euros 👍🏻

    Do you plan to test out the Intel Arc a310 ITX or Low Profile model? It feels like an enthusiast card, but I don't see any videos for it anywhere since it's a low end Intel offering.

    At this point in time, it's basically a portable Meteor Lake iGPU. Honestly it's more on par with RDNA3. Meteor Lake will be better than the A380 by the time actual people start buying 14th gen for games

    Hi there. I love your videos, you present the information in a manner which is easy to understand to a noob myself (in terms of PC building). One question: How would Microsoft Flight Simulator on its highest settings compare to the games you test on? I'd love to be able to have the best settings on MSFS in 1080p? My monitors don't go higher than that anyway. I want to buy or build a PC but I don't want to go overkill. As an extra-credit question, how would you guess that the games you test compare to the upcoming MSFS 2024? I realize I'm asking you to dust off the crystal ball here...

  • @gdjaybee742
    @gdjaybee742 10 місяців тому +1

    I already have GTX 1050 ti low profile on an i7 2600 mini form factor Dell Optiplex, and it runs most of my preferred games decently, but was still looking for a better option, as the video card is long in the tooth. I was wondering if you can put is in a similar desktop to see if it is a viable option of an upgrade, since I think most people who will be looking at this video card may have something similar.

  • @TrusteftTech
    @TrusteftTech 11 місяців тому

    I don't trust Intel with their GPU drivers, plus the lazy requirement for resizable bar. So even if I had money I wouldn't pick an ARC card.
    Having said that, for $99 it's hard not to see the value of it, at least in perhaps pushing the good manufacturers lowering their lower GPUs prices a bit.
    Cool video.

    I still think if going mini itx one should go with with AMD best onboard graphics. Less troubleshooting and more compatibility especially on older games. Hell it even may save you $. 😂

  • @seemoremacstuff
    @seemoremacstuff 11 місяців тому

    Intel Arc sucks unless you have a pretty modern setup. I’d still go with the RX6400 which in of itself has its performance slashed if you’re not using a system with PCIe 4.0. IMO the king is still the Nvidia A2000 or if you can find one of those rare low profile single slot GTX 1650.

    • @tyler6602
      @tyler6602 11 місяців тому +1

      Everyone says the performance is slashed but every video i watched comparing pcie 3 to 4 yes 4 was better but it was always super close and was usually the lows that werent identical, even at pcie 3 its better than my 1050 ti that can use 100w oc'd, and it was that or a rx 550 for this optiplex i got

  • @zedorda1337

    This card is only marginally better than the Vega 8 in AM4 APUs. If you are going to deal with the hassle of a video card in a SSF build you will want a better upgrade than that imo.

  • @jasonh4534
    @jasonh4534 11 місяців тому

    I wonder if there are any smaller eGPU enclosures that would work with this for a do it yourself option for the new handhelds like the Ally and Go. Might need to get a different GPU though, as you probably need to power the GPU through an external connector in such a use case.

    • @amirpourghoureiyan1637
      @amirpourghoureiyan1637 11 місяців тому +1

      if your system doesn't support ReBAR, just opt for Nvidia or AMD. Otherwise, performance is a fraction of what it's supposed to be - I've also seen some users show their system refusing to start but that was on Intel 4000 series setups so your mileage may vary.

  • @aaaalex1994
    @aaaalex1994 11 місяців тому +1

    I'd love to buy one of these for an old Small Form Factor PC, but I want to know how much performance you lose without Resizable BAR...
    EDIT: I just look up on Amazon and here (Spain) that same card costs 168 €.
    Oh well.

    I wonder if you could get this GPU to work with the PI5 5 maybe that plus an SSD makes a PI5 a really reasonable desktop replacement, with a total cost of $250 or less.
