Powered by the new Xe2 "Battlemage" architecture and a new XeSS 2 frame generation feature, Intel's $249 Arc B580 is FINALLY bringing 1440p gaming to the masses.
I wonder if/hope they will release a 16 GB model like the A770. I got one of those on ebay for $180 on a lark and it’s really not bad. I put it in a dedicated media/gaming PC connected to my TV.
By the time I got it I think most of the driver issues had been ironed out. I did have some trouble with a couple of games running on Linux with Proton, but those same games worked fine on Windows. I think there are some kinks to work out still with dxvk. It is possible that I just never tried one of these problematic games, though.

How does it do on older games, I heard from unreliable sources that the intel GPUs are very hit and miss if you only play old games
