If you're a Linux user running a pretty new kernel the A380 is an AMAZING GPU. You can score them under $100USD on eBay pretty much all day. With 6GB of VRAM in Linux it's pretty decent if you just want 3D acceleration & want to do some very light gaming (ex. Yuzu at 1080p/1440p or something like 1.5x-2x upscaling plays at nearly a solid 60fps). I originally got it for using headless & just for AV1 encoding. For almost 2 years I still haven't figured it out for my exact transcoding needs but I decided to throw it in a new PC running Ubuntu 22.04 & I had zero setup issues. Didn't even have to install any packages for full 3D acceleration which makes YT playback very smooth at any resolution. I was so happy with the A380 I wanted to get a 16GB A770 for under $180ish on eBay but I stupidly got impatient & got a 8GB A750 for like $165. Again in Linux I didn't really notice any difference for my needs. Supposedly with different Linux distros than Ubuntu people have gotten the 16GB A770 to work with the same LLMs as available to Nvidia users - performance is pretty good if you have the VRAM but the 8GB Intel cards don't work as well, supposedly. For AV1 transcoding under Windows & a general/non-gaming Linux desktop user the A380 is a solid performer in my book.

Also if Aussies don't limit their mindset to "Have to have a New $230AUD GPU" you have plenty of way better options including lots of great used GPUs up to RTX2060 & RX6600, or if you still want new there are way better Performance options currently for just a little more with Arc A580 $259AUD, RTX3050 $279AUD or RX6600 $299AUD.
@@penonton4260 It's enough for most games now, but just look at games like Indiana Jones. In that game, the 3060 beats the 4060 solely because the 4060 has less VRAM. And even games like The Last Of Us can barely play on low settings with an 8gb card.

7:47 Hiya! I tested Helldivers 2 a few years back and can confirm it's a bug in the game. It MAY be related to the card, especially if you get this every time you play. I think I was able to get around it by dropping some settings but it's been 4 years and I can't rememeber what it was. If it's the Steam Deck settings I might boot it up and have a look. Should be an easy repro. Annoingly, this was caught and fixed, as were many bugs I've seen pop up in the game post launch. Which is kinda weird.
I love my ARC 380. I use it in my unraid server and it's been a beast for video transcoding. I have 6 other people who I share my Jellyfin instance with and it can handle everyone streaming with ease. It was $100 new on Amazon, and a bonus is that it doesn't need power from the power supply, only using what comes from the PCIE slot.
I was using an Arc A380 for a display card, and I got annoyed when videos would flicker, and once that started the entire browser would start flickering.
I don't think Civ V failed to launch due to the gpu. I noticed the game doesn't launch after the 2K launcher removal update on the Windows version, so I just play ion my M1 MacBook Air instead. Civ V mac & linux port are made by Aspyr so It might be an error on Firaxis' end. I hope this comment helps. :D
For helldivers 2 I experience quite a lot of black screen issues. The solution i found was making sure vsync in the arc software settings matched the game settings. Switching them on and off eventually fixed it
I got an arc a580 to run on an lga 2011-3 server cpu, the e5 2680 v4 and it performed really well. The board I got came with custom bios though that had rebar on it already. Without rebar the arc cards are really gimped so it's absolutely worth modding bios to add rebar
I’d honestly rock one of those low profile A310 cards, problem is that I can’t find any! It’ll suck when Intel will start discontinuing the A310 and A380 cards. Hopefully they roll out their successors soon.
The only thing i don't like about arc a380 is that it's price rose up a lot(30=50%) in my country since the release of b580, which makes no sense and the worst part is that b580 is also unavailable
like the A380 too, as a AV1 Encoder it runs in a scondary PC here. But Intel made it unnecessary hard - since without Re-BAR it is litterally unuasble. But so many low and lowest budget Gaming PCs are equipped with Hardware where that option sometimer didi not get an update for that and so a very big market segment at the release of Arc A just wasn't handled.
I would absolutely love to see the bios mod video! I have a SFF EliteDesk build using a 3050 6gb and feel like that GPU is just a tiny bit overkill for the 6th gen i7 in it. I might want to use it for another build with a proper sff build. The A380 low profile would be perfect for the EliteDesk if I could get ReBar to work!
The Arc A380 is also competing with the second hand market, for example, you showed a 109$ price tag, nearly 2 months ago i was able to snatch myself a triple fan rog strix asus 1660 super. That's a huge win i did a lengthy test and it survived it so whoever was using this was not a bloody miner.
@@Zephhhhhh average price of a 1050 ti on ebay right now is between $70-90; Call it $80. I hate to disappoint, but the Arc A380 is not an equivalent to the 1050 ti. Maybe if you said 1650, or something like the 1660 Super, you would have a much more fair comparison.
@ every reputable benchmark finds it falling directly even with a 1050ti or 1630, you can get a 3050 LP for $150, which is just under double the performance of the a380
@@Zephhhhhh I can't find exactly which benchmarks you are referring to, but I feel like (no offense) you are running into some consistency errors. Like, again, the cheapest RTX 3050 LP I could find costs a solid $169.99 (on sale mind you) and most prices seem to follow suit. Or are you referring to used? Because for a lot of people on a budget under $200, or closer to $100-$150, twenty bucks is a lot for them.
@@Zephhhhhh I have both a 1050ti and an A380 (and an A370m and 1050ti mobile). The A380 is definitely faster than the 1050ti and the A370m is definitely faster than the 1050ti mobile. I'm not sure what "reputable benchmarks" you're looking at, but if they're telling you that Arc 3 is the same as 50 class Pascal, then they're simply wrong. At worst they're like a 1650/1650m respectively, but the A380 is usually more like a 3050 or better and the A370m is between a 1650m and a 3050m.
Could you review the lower profile version? I wanna buy one or the Nvidia equivalent, would love to see them duke it out. Most of the games I play are 10+ years old so dropping 1000 on a decent gaming machine doesn't matter to me
i got one and have no problems with it most of the time, last weird behavior i had in LoL(it wont render anything, black screen, in fullscreen mode, in window and borderless it works fine), low profile one draws max 45W, has lauder fans, and in games can get easly to 75*C, even though i have full size case and lot of air flow
I made the minor mistake slapping my arc A770 onto a x99 motherboard (machinist MR9A pro) not realising the board didn't have rebar, plus the A770 for $399 AUD I couldn't pass it up...I say minor, as I was able to get a bios with rebar added. Took about 20 minutes to flash the whole thing. Wish I'd done this earlier with my other GPU's that used to live on this board. I get why those who've made the move to intel love arc cards now.
@My_Old_YT_Account Ah I forgot to mention need a single slot lowprofile 🙈 I connect it to the last pcie slot (lanes provided by pch) as the main one was used by HBA/main GPU and a310 was added as 2nd GPU just for encode / transcode
Using Proton on Linux is a roundabout way to get these cards to run games on older versions of Direct X. I have an A310 on an N100 system and can get Crysis running on it at a playable framerate without resorting to the lowest settings.
I bought an A380 Challenger board. I paid just over $100USD for it off Amazon. It's a great little card if you know its capabilities. I also have an Arc A770 16GB LE card also.
A380 is great, if you have a modern enough/compatible PC. Bought a SFF prebuilt, 6th-gen i5, slapped a low profile A380 - had send it back because after putting the new GPU in, PC wouldn't post anymore (not a PSU related issue, did end up putting a GTX 1050 and it worked just fine.
Strange that Civ V didn't launch for you. I have the laptop version of the A380 and it launches and runs on both DX9 and DX10/11. The only issue is some strange artifacting in DX9 that wasn't present the last time I played V, so that's a somewhat new issue. But DX10/11 ran fine, so I'd suggest that is a problem related to your system, not the Arc driver as a whole.
I guess I'll wait a bit until Intel, AMD and Nvidia announce their new GPUS, and see their lowest end offerings. Right now I have a Ryzen 5 4600G, and I've been considering several graphics cards (including the A380) but I'm not sure anymore if I should buy the A380, the 6gb 3050 or the RX 6600 (all of them seem to work OK with my CPU) if right now I'm only interested in games from 2020 and older.
I needed a new GPU as my current one is dying and I considered the A380 since I knew drivers have improved, but availability and pricing is bad in my country. The Asrock Challenger or Sparkle cards are the only A380 models from a decently big manufacturers and those are out of stock for a while now and other options like Gunnir is not really known here with maybe a card or two in stock, but priced at like 170 USD. At 170 I could probably get something else like a brand new GTX 1660 Ti or RX 5600XT. I opted instead for one of the remanufactured RX 580 2048sp cards for 63 USD. Those RX 580 2048sp cards go around $63~80 here but are very varying in number of display outs (1 to 4, but mostly 2 or 3).
I have that exact same Asrock card. I bought it because the motherboard on my prebuilt HP has an HDMI port of 1.4 (I'm not a PC gamer, I'm very happy with my PS4 Pro). I love this card, except that it "feels" like I'm downloading and installing driver updates every week. I have an Asus b760i motherboard I want to eventually put into a custom ITX build with the i5-13400 from my prebuilt. I think I'll sell ths Asrock card and put it towards the new Arc B580. I want to have a build for video editing and some AI upscaling. Do you think the 12 GB of VRAM is enough for that, or should I wait and save up for the rumored 24 Gig card Intel has coming?
@@theshakyproject2971 12 gigs is plenty honestly. I see no real reason to wait unless the work you have is very intensive, or if you aren't strapped for cash.
I wish I had a time machine... A380 low profile 6Gb has been bought out and scalped. My use case was for AV1 encoding in a system wherein even thjs A380 would not physically fit in my rig as it's the last bottom slot and under a waterblock lol
Intel is working on the drivers overtime and it is good to see desirable results, in fact faster than some AMD driver issues. At least with their current and future gpus (hoping for more) they will definitely compete greatly.
Intel Arc 380 might be one day what the RX 560D 2gb was for me a year and a half ago. I randomly got a RX 560D as a "RX 560 working with broken fan" on eBay on an offer for $10. I just got it on a whim and despite me trying to flash the card off the RX 560D but to no avail. It has been a decent card when I spare GPU fan on it. I mainly just used it as a display adapter for all my random, off chance moments where I wanna test a newer Linux distro. And unlike say a cheaper HD7450 I have. The RX 560D can ALWAYS work and can ALWAYS do up to 4k video playback on anything I wanna test out. Heck, thanks to it's RX 560D..ness..I can use ReBar support on the GPU which helped in so many ways test on my spare Z370 motherboard and i5-8400 CPU to see if ReBar support was even working in Linux. In a tool sense, it is my cresent wrench. After seeing you with the Intel Arc A380 and after reading the comments especially on Linux support for the Arc cards. Will put it on my watchlist of GPUs to get if ever on a random deal or whim to use for niche things. Like AV1 encoding. Haven't had time or need to AV1 encode. But you never know what tomorrow holds. Like these videos man. If you do ever try the ReBar mod as a video, I would really like to see it cause I still have a Dell Optiplex 990 motherboard I got in a deal with a i5 and cooler for under $20. The motherboard is in a nice case with the E3-1270 Xeon, 16gb ram, and a GTX 1050 2gb. I gave it to my brother, but as usual, he never uses it. So, if the Dell Optiplexs can use the ReBar mod, then I definitely will accept the jank no matter how awesome it is. Happy New Year everyone!
I also mostly play games from the WinXP era. My thinkpad (Iris G7) is more stable in these games than my desktop (Radeon 7900GRE). In fact, the experience has been so good that I haven't started my retro PC (GF6800/GF8800/HD5750) since last Christmas.
"Never confuse value with cost." If you live in the developed world then save up your money and get the new B580. It's generally 20% faster than the A770 for only around $250. AsRock has made an awesome 3 fan B580 with a decent OC for around $280.
Hi, amazing vdeo like always, but i need some advice. So basically, i'm using rn ia thinkcentre sff, no gpu and 6gb of ddr3 ram coupled whit a intle i5-4430s and i'm FINALLY getting a new rig, stll mediocre, do you have any idea of uprgade for that pc? (I got it for free and it's better than my acutal pc? Here's the specs : it's a HP Pavilion590 (can support atx cards, btu things like the 2060 ti, it can't fit by a few millimeters) 8gb ddr4 ram intel i5-8400 or 8800 (i'm not sure) gpu : there's probably none, but some verison of it has a AMD Radeon RX 550, not sure if mine has one 1tb of sotrage on a hdd (i'll get a ssd anywways) Note : I do'nt paly that much of demanding games, the most demadnign games i would HOPE to be able to paly is fortnite and overwatch 2 in medium settings
Pick a resolution that suits your eyes/monitor and work with that, then buy a GPU that will do it for you, then focus on maxing said pc, more ram, maybe a better CPU and/or cooler then look into running competitive titles on lowest settings, max resolution
I really love that Intel finally fighting the big boys that ruled the market GPU for years it's finally time to listen to what gamers want and that they can actually afford it unlike AMD and NVIDIA who literally have prices that are way absurd and let's not forget the minimal improvement in the GPU'S, anyway thank you for this wonderful video and maybe it's time for the optiplex to get the upgrade it deserved 😂
J'ai acheté deux modèles le modèle Sparkle A380 ELF en frèquence à 2450 MHz et le modèle Asrock A380 Challenge OC à 2250 MHz, les deux cartes tournent parfaitement même sur des anciens modèle de CPU ou APU AMD en exemple avec un APU A8, et pas besoin de mettre en fonction le Rebar cela fonctionne parfaitement sur les plateformes AMD, j'utilise les deux cartes avec un ancien APU A8-6600K Black Edition Elite Core et un Ryzen 5 4500, les jeux anciens et actuels avec Windows 98 à Windows 10 tournent parfaitement en graphismes HIGH et en 1080p. J'ai testé en une 10e de jours une centaines de jeux des plus anciens comme Dark Earth à Starfield à Dragon Age 4 pour les plus actuels, tous les jeux fonctionnent correctement. Cartes qui restent abordable en prix pas trop élevé et qui sont de large suffisante pour jouer correctement en 1080p 🙂
For me gaming is only as expensive as i make it. I built my first pc about 2 years ago and updated it when the 4070ti released. I custom loop cooled the pc and decked the case out. Now looking back, i was so nieve and should have focused more on the performance rather than looks. Rather than spend $700 on custom loop cooling it, i should have got a 4080 and an x3d cpu. No i went with the i7 12700k and 4070ti. Its not bad but i didnt focus on the right thing.
@@tjwtf28 The cards in the 400-500 segment don't belong there, though. That should be the place for the 4070-class cards. Imagine a true 4070 competitor for $450. Now THAT is what I'm after.
@@MarcosCodas yeah but why not just look for competition below that first? make a 250 card with 400 performance, and you put pressure on 90% of the consumer market your priorities are backwards is what I'm saying We've seen that AMD applying competition in the 400-800 price class has done nothing to sort out the GPU market why would intel also saturating the 400 market make a lick of difference?
@@tjwtf28 Where are you getting your "90% of the consumer market" figure? The Steam Hardware Survey points to RTX 60 and 70 class cards being the most popular. The card you're asking for is called the B580. The card I'm asking for doesn't exist yet. I do'nt understand what you're on about.
@@MarcosCodas mate 90% was just off top of my head, I'm all for asking for sources but I think you're getting too bogged down in the details even ignoring my numbers, you're either ignoring my point, or lost in your own sauce glhf mate, one day you'll figure out why it's important to support low end first
Wonder if their high-end cards will come at a not similar price but affordable price like 500 or 400 or something they do that affordable cards are back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rebar thing really screwed this card, and lack of drivers didn't help. I doubt it will become viable option in the future, as production is halting and on used market you could already pick up RX 6600 for cheap. Ironically, arrival of B580 is forcing AMD to slash prices, which in turn makes older AMD cards cheaper, thus undercutting A380 .

RX6600 is the best while I know RTX 3050 is pricey and very weak
amazing how these GPU's compare from game to game - another review knocked out of the park!
I really hope the B380 has more than 8gb of vram. Maybe something around a B400 for like $150 with 10gb like the B570 would be a nice budget card
On the consumer side it’s unlikely. But an ARC pro “B400” would decimate whatever Nvidia calls Quadros now.
@ Fair, I just don’t really see the purpose of a modern card having only 8gb of vram because of how much vram modern games use.
Yeah. I wonder how Intel will resolve it given they also have an A series GPU (A580) at that pricepoint.

It was $100 new on Amazon, and a bonus is that it doesn't need power from the power supply, only using what comes from the PCIE slot.
I was using an Arc A380 for a display card, and I got annoyed when videos would flicker, and once that started the entire browser would start flickering.
I don't think Civ V failed to launch due to the gpu. I noticed the game doesn't launch after the 2K launcher removal update on the Windows version, so I just play ion my M1 MacBook Air instead. Civ V mac & linux port are made by Aspyr so It might be an error on Firaxis' end. I hope this comment helps. :D
For helldivers 2 I experience quite a lot of black screen issues. The solution i found was making sure vsync in the arc software settings matched the game settings. Switching them on and off eventually fixed it
I got an arc a580 to run on an lga 2011-3 server cpu, the e5 2680 v4 and it performed really well. The board I got came with custom bios though that had rebar on it already. Without rebar the arc cards are really gimped so it's absolutely worth modding bios to add rebar
I’d honestly rock one of those low profile A310 cards, problem is that I can’t find any! It’ll suck when Intel will start discontinuing the A310 and A380 cards. Hopefully they roll out their successors soon.
The only thing i don't like about arc a380 is that it's price rose up a lot(30=50%) in my country since the release of b580, which makes no sense and the worst part is that b580 is also unavailable
love the Sega Genesis Sagaia music when doing helldiver :)
I recently picked up an arc a750 for $120usa can believe how great of a card it is. Blew my mind.
The A380 is great for encoding video. It's the cheapest card that can encode in AV1 alongside the A310.
like the A380 too, as a AV1 Encoder it runs in a scondary PC here. But Intel made it unnecessary hard - since without Re-BAR it is litterally unuasble. But so many low and lowest budget Gaming PCs are equipped with Hardware where that option sometimer didi not get an update for that and so a very big market segment at the release of Arc A just wasn't handled.
I liked the part where the trash can spoke!
@@JasonWitmerYT yeah, but I speak every video
My biggest issue is, that the card requires resizable bar, to be used! This will keep me from byuing one, since my MB doesnt support it.
Good video, well done.
If only there was a work around on Re-sizable bar
Old school Optiplex would go brooomooommmm . ..
There is, it's just kinda sketchy.
Arcbus A380
I would absolutely love to see the bios mod video!
I have a SFF EliteDesk build using a 3050 6gb and feel like that GPU is just a tiny bit overkill for the 6th gen i7 in it. I might want to use it for another build with a proper sff build. The A380 low profile would be perfect for the EliteDesk if I could get ReBar to work!
The Arc A380 is also competing with the second hand market, for example, you showed a 109$ price tag, nearly 2 months ago i was able to snatch myself a triple fan rog strix asus 1660 super. That's a huge win i did a lengthy test and it survived it so whoever was using this was not a bloody miner.
So its 1050ti performance 3x the price of a 1050ti on ebay
@@Zephhhhhh average price of a 1050 ti on ebay right now is between $70-90; Call it $80. I hate to disappoint, but the Arc A380 is not an equivalent to the 1050 ti. Maybe if you said 1650, or something like the 1660 Super, you would have a much more fair comparison.
@ every reputable benchmark finds it falling directly even with a 1050ti or 1630, you can get a 3050 LP for $150, which is just under double the performance of the a380
@@Zephhhhhh I can't find exactly which benchmarks you are referring to, but I feel like (no offense) you are running into some consistency errors. Like, again, the cheapest RTX 3050 LP I could find costs a solid $169.99 (on sale mind you) and most prices seem to follow suit. Or are you referring to used? Because for a lot of people on a budget under $200, or closer to $100-$150, twenty bucks is a lot for them.
@@Zephhhhhh I have both a 1050ti and an A380 (and an A370m and 1050ti mobile). The A380 is definitely faster than the 1050ti and the A370m is definitely faster than the 1050ti mobile. I'm not sure what "reputable benchmarks" you're looking at, but if they're telling you that Arc 3 is the same as 50 class Pascal, then they're simply wrong. At worst they're like a 1650/1650m respectively, but the A380 is usually more like a 3050 or better and the A370m is between a 1650m and a 3050m.
I mean arc should be getting driver support way past the 10 series, and it looks like this is all new with warranty numbers not used.
Oooooh! Do the mod, do the mod!
Could you review the lower profile version? I wanna buy one or the Nvidia equivalent, would love to see them duke it out. Most of the games I play are 10+ years old so dropping 1000 on a decent gaming machine doesn't matter to me
i got one and have no problems with it most of the time, last weird behavior i had in LoL(it wont render anything, black screen, in fullscreen mode, in window and borderless it works fine), low profile one draws max 45W, has lauder fans, and in games can get easly to 75*C, even though i have full size case and lot of air flow
I made the minor mistake slapping my arc A770 onto a x99 motherboard (machinist MR9A pro) not realising the board didn't have rebar, plus the A770 for $399 AUD I couldn't pass it up...I say minor, as I was able to get a bios with rebar added. Took about 20 minutes to flash the whole thing. Wish I'd done this earlier with my other GPU's that used to live on this board. I get why those who've made the move to intel love arc cards now.
Subscribed for the plok music appreciation alone
I can't wait to see how efficient the B570 is.
I bought a a310 just for transcode /decode features
The only low profile has everything needed
Unfortunately they don't make a380 low profile 😢
They do, Sparkle GENIE Arc A380 and ASRock Low Profile Arc A380
@My_Old_YT_Account
Ah I forgot to mention need a single slot lowprofile 🙈
I connect it to the last pcie slot (lanes provided by pch) as the main one was used by HBA/main GPU and a310 was added as 2nd GPU just for encode / transcode
@frankwong9486 the Asus one is single slot at the pcie bracket but has a bigger cooler, idk if it would fit in your PC but it's the best you can get
Using Proton on Linux is a roundabout way to get these cards to run games on older versions of Direct X. I have an A310 on an N100 system and can get Crysis running on it at a playable framerate without resorting to the lowest settings.
4:54 this is more a bug with windows 11. Known issue
I bought an A380 Challenger board. I paid just over $100USD for it off Amazon. It's a great little card if you know its capabilities. I also have an Arc A770 16GB LE card also.
id like to see the bios mod video
Also, no Left 4 Dead 2 on your list of games?! You are missing out! It's still quite fun, even after 15 years! You should try it.
I did play Left 4 Dead 2 in the first looks with the GPU, but this time around, I forgot to include it in my simple tests lol
A380 is great, if you have a modern enough/compatible PC. Bought a SFF prebuilt, 6th-gen i5, slapped a low profile A380 - had send it back because after putting the new GPU in, PC wouldn't post anymore (not a PSU related issue, did end up putting a GTX 1050 and it worked just fine.
My PC on Linux runs an A380 and it's generally a good 1080p GPU for me.
@@htechtgarisc7559 I should really do some Linux stuff at some point and see how well the card performs with it.
Strange that Civ V didn't launch for you. I have the laptop version of the A380 and it launches and runs on both DX9 and DX10/11. The only issue is some strange artifacting in DX9 that wasn't present the last time I played V, so that's a somewhat new issue. But DX10/11 ran fine, so I'd suggest that is a problem related to your system, not the Arc driver as a whole.
I guess I'll wait a bit until Intel, AMD and Nvidia announce their new GPUS, and see their lowest end offerings.
Right now I have a Ryzen 5 4600G, and I've been considering several graphics cards (including the A380) but I'm not sure anymore if I should buy the A380, the 6gb 3050 or the RX 6600 (all of them seem to work OK with my CPU) if right now I'm only interested in games from 2020 and older.
hey thats me in the comments in the intro!!
i feel like a celebrity now
I needed a new GPU as my current one is dying and I considered the A380 since I knew drivers have improved, but availability and pricing is bad in my country.
The Asrock Challenger or Sparkle cards are the only A380 models from a decently big manufacturers and those are out of stock for a while now and other options like Gunnir is not really known here with maybe a card or two in stock, but priced at like 170 USD. At 170 I could probably get something else like a brand new GTX 1660 Ti or RX 5600XT.
I opted instead for one of the remanufactured RX 580 2048sp cards for 63 USD. Those RX 580 2048sp cards go around $63~80 here but are very varying in number of display outs (1 to 4, but mostly 2 or 3).
Is it better than rx570 4gb?
I have that exact same Asrock card. I bought it because the motherboard on my prebuilt HP has an HDMI port of 1.4 (I'm not a PC gamer, I'm very happy with my PS4 Pro). I love this card, except that it "feels" like I'm downloading and installing driver updates every week. I have an Asus b760i motherboard I want to eventually put into a custom ITX build with the i5-13400 from my prebuilt. I think I'll sell ths Asrock card and put it towards the new Arc B580. I want to have a build for video editing and some AI upscaling. Do you think the 12 GB of VRAM is enough for that, or should I wait and save up for the rumored 24 Gig card Intel has coming?
@@theshakyproject2971 12 gigs is plenty honestly. I see no real reason to wait unless the work you have is very intensive, or if you aren't strapped for cash.
Ótimo canal, que bom que agora o UA-cam trás a dublagem com inteligência artificial.
Something important for my Skylake ? ...
@@czviktor possibly!
whats the game at 12:09 ?
I wish I had a time machine... A380 low profile 6Gb has been bought out and scalped. My use case was for AV1 encoding in a system wherein even thjs A380 would not physically fit in my rig as it's the last bottom slot and under a waterblock lol
Intel is working on the drivers overtime and it is good to see desirable results, in fact faster than some AMD driver issues. At least with their current and future gpus (hoping for more) they will definitely compete greatly.
I love kissing 50fps
Waiting for a770 16gb to be $99 someday
What's the game at 12:10?
Intel Arc 380 might be one day what the RX 560D 2gb was for me a year and a half ago.
I randomly got a RX 560D as a "RX 560 working with broken fan" on eBay on an offer for $10. I just got it on a whim and despite me trying to flash the card off the RX 560D but to no avail. It has been a decent card when I spare GPU fan on it. I mainly just used it as a display adapter for all my random, off chance moments where I wanna test a newer Linux distro. And unlike say a cheaper HD7450 I have. The RX 560D can ALWAYS work and can ALWAYS do up to 4k video playback on anything I wanna test out. Heck, thanks to it's RX 560D..ness..I can use ReBar support on the GPU which helped in so many ways test on my spare Z370 motherboard and i5-8400 CPU to see if ReBar support was even working in Linux. In a tool sense, it is my cresent wrench.
After seeing you with the Intel Arc A380 and after reading the comments especially on Linux support for the Arc cards. Will put it on my watchlist of GPUs to get if ever on a random deal or whim to use for niche things. Like AV1 encoding. Haven't had time or need to AV1 encode. But you never know what tomorrow holds.
Like these videos man. If you do ever try the ReBar mod as a video, I would really like to see it cause I still have a Dell Optiplex 990 motherboard I got in a deal with a i5 and cooler for under $20. The motherboard is in a nice case with the E3-1270 Xeon, 16gb ram, and a GTX 1050 2gb. I gave it to my brother, but as usual, he never uses it. So, if the Dell Optiplexs can use the ReBar mod, then I definitely will accept the jank no matter how awesome it is.
Happy New Year everyone!
fantastic video, thank you for covering dx9 games!!
I also mostly play games from the WinXP era. My thinkpad (Iris G7) is more stable in these games than my desktop (Radeon 7900GRE). In fact, the experience has been so good that I haven't started my retro PC (GF6800/GF8800/HD5750) since last Christmas.
Do you know how GTA4 runs on the B380 these days?
"Never confuse value with cost." If you live in the developed world then save up your money and get the new B580. It's generally 20% faster than the A770 for only around $250. AsRock has made an awesome 3 fan B580 with a decent OC for around $280.
how well does it run cs2 on low settings with dynamic shadows set to all and high dynamic range set to quality?
revisit the no rebar system with this card i7 4790
The rebaruefi driver works for me on Intel X79
Will this card have better Linux support then Nvidia?
I need that modding video 😅
hey yall what was that game @ 12:08
I want to build a retro gaming and some triple A mini pc for $500
Ok if its gonna be price to performance wise the same as a750 to b580 the b310 or b380 might be very very good when they come out and if
Another thing is that these cards are god tier at transcoding. It puts nvidia to shame and it’d be war crime to even compare to AMD.
Hi, amazing vdeo like always, but i need some advice.
So basically, i'm using rn ia thinkcentre sff, no gpu and 6gb of ddr3 ram coupled whit a intle i5-4430s and i'm FINALLY getting a new rig, stll mediocre, do you have any idea of uprgade for that pc? (I got it for free and it's better than my acutal pc?
Here's the specs :
it's a HP Pavilion590 (can support atx cards, btu things like the 2060 ti, it can't fit by a few millimeters)
8gb ddr4 ram
intel i5-8400 or 8800 (i'm not sure)
gpu : there's probably none, but some verison of it has a AMD Radeon RX 550, not sure if mine has one
1tb of sotrage on a hdd (i'll get a ssd anywways)
Note : I do'nt paly that much of demanding games, the most demadnign games i would HOPE to be able to paly is fortnite and overwatch 2 in medium settings
Pick a resolution that suits your eyes/monitor and work with that, then buy a GPU that will do it for you, then focus on maxing said pc, more ram, maybe a better CPU and/or cooler then look into running competitive titles on lowest settings, max resolution
@@fistingendakenny8781 thx, i'll try that :)
disable resampling when editing and youll videos wont look so blurry and choppy when there is movement
if it can run stalker 2, its an upgrade to me.
7:46 that happens somtime in Resident evil 4 Remake, too what is that? Nvidia RTX 4050 btw
Im in between this and the 3050 6gb for my optiplex since i dont have power connectors
I really love that Intel finally fighting the big boys that ruled the market GPU for years it's finally time to listen to what gamers want and that they can actually afford it unlike AMD and NVIDIA who literally have prices that are way absurd and let's not forget the minimal improvement in the GPU'S, anyway thank you for this wonderful video and maybe it's time for the optiplex to get the upgrade it deserved 😂
J'ai acheté deux modèles le modèle Sparkle A380 ELF en frèquence à 2450 MHz et le modèle Asrock A380 Challenge OC à 2250 MHz, les deux cartes tournent parfaitement même sur des anciens modèle de CPU ou APU AMD en exemple avec un APU A8, et pas besoin de mettre en fonction le Rebar cela fonctionne parfaitement sur les plateformes AMD, j'utilise les deux cartes avec un ancien APU A8-6600K Black Edition Elite Core et un Ryzen 5 4500, les jeux anciens et actuels avec Windows 98 à Windows 10 tournent parfaitement en graphismes HIGH et en 1080p. J'ai testé en une 10e de jours une centaines de jeux des plus anciens comme Dark Earth à Starfield à Dragon Age 4 pour les plus actuels, tous les jeux fonctionnent correctement. Cartes qui restent abordable en prix pas trop élevé et qui sont de large suffisante pour jouer correctement en 1080p 🙂
For me gaming is only as expensive as i make it. I built my first pc about 2 years ago and updated it when the 4070ti released. I custom loop cooled the pc and decked the case out. Now looking back, i was so nieve and should have focused more on the performance rather than looks. Rather than spend $700 on custom loop cooling it, i should have got a 4080 and an x3d cpu. No i went with the i7 12700k and 4070ti. Its not bad but i didnt focus on the right thing.
Dear Budget Bin,
You cannot have "min FPS" to be higher than 1% or 0.1% low FPS. Either it's the minimum or it's not. Examples: 6:02 and 6:49
What I want is the $400-500 Intel card. Because darn, that place in the market is a mess right now.
we do not need more competition in the 4/500 segment. It's saturated. Low end practically dont exist rn
@@tjwtf28 The cards in the 400-500 segment don't belong there, though. That should be the place for the 4070-class cards. Imagine a true 4070 competitor for $450. Now THAT is what I'm after.
@@MarcosCodas yeah but why not just look for competition below that first? make a 250 card with 400 performance, and you put pressure on 90% of the consumer market
your priorities are backwards is what I'm saying
We've seen that AMD applying competition in the 400-800 price class has done nothing to sort out the GPU market
why would intel also saturating the 400 market make a lick of difference?
@@tjwtf28 Where are you getting your "90% of the consumer market" figure? The Steam Hardware Survey points to RTX 60 and 70 class cards being the most popular. The card you're asking for is called the B580. The card I'm asking for doesn't exist yet. I do'nt understand what you're on about.
@@MarcosCodas mate 90% was just off top of my head, I'm all for asking for sources but I think you're getting too bogged down in the details
even ignoring my numbers, you're either ignoring my point, or lost in your own sauce

Get it down to one slot passive cooled maybe under clocked and for less than 50 bucks and I am in

@BudgetBin Hurray! Hacking out planned obsolescence is definitely admirable
Windows got fixed. We don't know half of the dirt that goes on.
Can it VR?
not without a ton of workarounds, but the A380 isn't powerful enough for VR anyway.
Rtx 3050 6gb is still the best budget gpu. It is the most powerful gpu you can throw in a dell optiplex and it runs on slot power only
Wonder if their high-end cards will come at a not similar price but affordable price like 500 or 400 or something they do that affordable cards are back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rebar thing really screwed this card, and lack of drivers didn't help. I doubt it will become viable option in the future, as production is halting and on used market you could already pick up RX 6600 for cheap. Ironically, arrival of B580 is forcing AMD to slash prices, which in turn makes older AMD cards cheaper, thus undercutting A380 .
Here the A380 has the price as the Rx 6600 😭
when intel releases a good card and now its sold out everywhere so i cant get one
