AMD and Nvidia let the cheap graphics card segment “deteriorate” so much that Intel took advantage of it quite elegantly. The latest Arc A580 in the Sparkle (Orc) design has a lot of imperfections that you might not get over, but at the same time it has settled into the top spot when it comes to price/performance ratio in gaming. With this primacy, it profiles itself as one of the leading adepts into low-budget builds.
Overall gaming performance
We calculate the average performance so that each game has an equal weight on the result. You can find out exactly how we arrive at the result in this article.
Disclaimer: The charts below present averages from games with settings where only the graphics generated by rasterization appear. This selection was originally intended to allow the inclusion of graphics cards without ray-tracing support. However, it is also reasonable to consider speed with ray-tracing graphics as well. Therefore, prospectively, we will incorporate additional sets of charts into the tests, where one will also take into account graphics details with ray tracing and the other will be exclusively for gaming setups under DXR with RT.
Performance per euro
Disclaimer: To calculate the coefficient, we use the suggested prices that the graphics cards had at the time of launch. Thus, given the current situation, the ratios may not always be accurate, on the contrary, they will often be quite inaccurate (not reflecting the current situation), because the market value of older models naturally decreases over time until they eventually stop selling. In order to make the design of these charts sustainable (also in terms of the passage of time), we have decided to always start from an initial price that we no longer change according to later developments in stores.
