Intel Arc 3 A380 Challenger ITX 6GB GDDR6 OC Graphics Card Alchemist

Used for transcoding in unraid. Really quiet and capable little card.

I like this video card a lot. I'm not a gamer, so I cannot judge how this card performs while playing games. I'm a graphic designer and I create images using Adobe software. This ARC A380 card does its job very well. Combining this with a motherboard that supports resizable BAR and installing the latest drivers, results in a very smooth experience, despite its rather modest specifications. I have another computer with a nvidia RTX with more or less same specifications, which operates at the same speed, but costs twice as much. For content creating, the ARC A380 does the job at an unbeatable price. And it's very quiet.

Purchased for a homelab rack server running Linux and Plex and some other tools. Highly recommend for a lower cost modern high performance card, it isn't power hungry, and is very stable while it handles transcoding for multiple streams. The only downside I found was that HDMI output for large resolutions was highly limited due to the output path being native for display port and the HDMI bridge being lower speed; my display was just above the capability of the HDMI output, so I had to switch to the HDMI output from the CPU chipset.

I really like this graphics card. I am mostly using it on my HTPC to view Blu-ray movies ripped to my hard drive, which includes 4K movies too. The performance of the card is very good. I am not a serious gamer, but occasionally, I do play a few games. This graphics card does just fine on most games. I used to have an Asus AMD Radeon™ RX 6600, but this card outperforms the Asus card. Intel is releasing drivers more frequently now. This graphics card is definitely a good buy for everyone but the die hard gamer.

Die ITX-Grafikkarte kommt hier nicht für das rendern von Realtime-Grafik zum Einsatz, eher für den Einsatz von Intel Quick-Sync für das Livestreaming. 6GB Grafikspeicher? Egal! Wieviele FPS im Benchmark? Egal! Interessiert mich alles überhaupt nicht. Per Quick-Sync rendert die Karte in hervorragender Qualität einen Livestrem bis 1080p. Zukunftssicher dank AV1 Hardware-Encoding. Vorteile: ✔ kleines Format mit 2Slot breite 🗜 ✔ geringer Stromverbrauch von 115Watt laut Hersteller 🔌 ✔ Quicksync und AV1 Hardware-Encoding 📡 ✔ kleiner Preis 💰 ✔ regelmäßiger Treibersupport für noch mehr Leistung durch Optimierung 🚀 Nachteile: ♦ Intels erste Generatio dedizierter Grafikkarten ♦ nicht genug Rohleistung für generellen Spielbetrieb ♦ mir fällt nichts weiter ein
