16GB VRAM at the $349 price point — more than the B580 (12GB) and any NVIDIA card at this tier.
Intel released driver 32.0.101.8626 in March 2026, with ongoing optimisations for DX12 and Vulkan titles.
Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
2GB more VRAM than NVIDIA's RTX 5050 (~$189) and RTX 5060 ($299) — the best VRAM-per-dollar in the sub-$225 GPU market.
A full 40W lower than the B580 and 20W lower than most competing NVIDIA cards at this price. No PSU upgrade needed for most systems.
Intel's second-generation AI upscaler delivers strong image quality in supported titles, with a growing catalogue of compatible games.
