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.
Finally resolves the VRAM debate — double the memory of the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB at a competitive mid-range price.
Multi-frame generation brings high frame rates to 1440p without brute-force rendering.
Efficient enough for mid-range builds without a PSU upgrade.
