      right now they have the greatest Performance per dollar over AMD and Nvidia right now. AMD and Nvidia dont see Intel as compition right now, which is going to bite them in the ass later when intel releases Battlemage. Intel's first GPUS where a way to get a product out the door that can enable them to size up Their competitors and see where they stand in the GPU power scale.

      Seem great. Sadly I can say for sure that for GTA5 you never know what the game will run at, the game runs like ass depends of what chunk of the game you are in and what the game's mood is it in. One moment you can get 60fps in one moment it drops and stutter or even times when the game doesn't even work. And if you can't run it high settings then don't even bother anyway.
      GTA5 already fried one of my GPUs ever since then I am really causcious wtf I run on my PC. "Games" are basically history at this point that is for sure so no more worries over that. And for the same game I had to change maybe 3 or 4 GPUs total due to simple incompatibility. Like one day it would be fine on ultra settings then a patch gets released and the game doesn't run even on mid settings so I had to change it. The only reason why I even bothered is because I got deals and few friends gave me their spare cards too. But yeah at one point we simply stopped playing games anyway.

    Good luck changing the bracket without damaging the blue plastic shield. One of the bracket screws is hidden away way under the overhang and I couldn't figure out how to change it - so I got out some shears and cut off a piece of it so I could reach the screw. I tried every which way to do it w/o damaging the unit, but in the end, that was the only way. Other than that issue, great budget card! (My unit shipped with the full bracket attached and I had to cut out a bit to switch the brackets.)

    That card looks almost like a server GPU already - I'll bet it would be easy to modify simply with a 3D printed shroud to block the fan hole (removing that first) and direct the case fans through it. Minimal necessary modification to do that. The cost is great too, plus the low power consumption, and not needing power input beyond the PCIE rail. Thanks for this review! I'll keep this in mind on my super-tiny server build I'm working on now. (Xeon based ITX-Mini system in the smallest case I can manage to handle the TDP with for home automation/security NVR/web server/media server/etc - various misc. things - this being an Arc card means I'll be able to have it do basic facial recognition on the NVR as well. Neat!)
    Edit: When I say smallest case I can manage, I have given up on commercially available ones, so I'm building basically a miniature rack mount style PC case myself using acrylic and 3D printed brackets/mounts, only in ITX mini size, using the same 60mm high-powered blower fans found on rack-mount servers. The plan is to make it all a tiny wind tunnel just like servers, so the smaller the GPU, the less size (and airflow) I have to account for. Large scale storage is already handled by a NAS, so it won't need room for drives beyond the onboard SSD. It's been fun picking parts, and I'm finally ordering them now, so this is perfect timing!

    What I'd love to see is some performance comparisons between this and a few other low profile GPUs. like this guy VS the new 3050 6gig that's low profile, the rx 6400, and wasn't there like an Ark a380 that was low profile? Basically I wouldn't mind seeing how they all compare in performance and price, cuz frankly if this a310 is only 20, maybe 30% slower then the 3050 6 gig but is half the price, it's honestly a pretty compelling option for a low profile system. honestly speaking I'm super tempted to grab one just to make a super low profile system.

      @@hiroshihasegawa2468 Handhelds are not a great fit for a dGPU, especially one like this where MTL and future LNL can get close to it already. Board space and power are both at even more of a premium in there than in a 14" gaming laptop. The ARC lineup does go down to the A350M, which is basically the same spec, but even that is a 25-35W part. That doubles your power consumption on a lot of these handhelds by itself, and in a lot of cases would nearly triple it as a lot of handhelds run the APU around the 15W mark.

    Now does it fit in the Lenovo Tiny? Looks like it might. On eBay I ran into a company selling the Tiny 5* vented lid brand new for 12-13 *(M720q, M920q, M920x, P330 Tiny).
    I dare say the Lenovo Tiny is going to be a lot more cost effective than a MinisForum at around 100-150 for an equipped system. Even if you have to order the lid or cut a hole in your lid you are well under $300 even if you upgrade the RAM, SSD or possibly Processor.
    Now the elephant. Does HoloISO work on ARC yet so we can avoid the windows bloat? Cool review, looking forward to trying the ARC at some point. Kinda wish there was more options even in the dual slot with 6 or 8-pin space from AMD for sure. A 6600 low profile should be doable, a 7500 would be welcome as well. The 3050 is interesting, but a hard pill as it is still over 200 most places and falls behind the 4060 pretty far even if you factor the savings. Maybe if it dropped to 180. But if course it has no competition. All the companies seem pretty competition averse in the low end. I assume they have the hard numbers on the mining cards and are waiting until they aren't going to compete with the surplus market.

No extra power cables, low power, single slot, AV1 encoding, and handles the load of driving extra monitors so the main card doesn't have to. And if there's no flagship for it to squire for, it can hold its own in light or low-settings gaming all by itself. For a measly $110.
