The cheapest way to get 16GB VRAM in a discrete GPU. Unmatched for VRAM-per-dollar.
Intel's driver team has spent 2+ years maturing the Alchemist stack. DX12 and Vulkan are now solid.
Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
4GB more VRAM than the RTX 4060 ($299) and RTX 5060 ($299). The best VRAM-per-dollar in the market.
Matches or beats the RTX 4060 in most rasterized workloads while costing $50 less.
Intel's AI upscaler works well in supported titles and continues to expand game support.
