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.
One of the most efficient GPUs ever — no external power connector needed on some AIB models.
Frame generation extends the card's 1080p capabilities.
The RTX 5060 launched at the same $299 price with GDDR7 and DLSS 4 — the 4060 only makes sense used at well below $150.
