Best bang for the buck
Pros: This video card was an experiment for me, I've been building Pc's since dos. I read the reviews and watched a few video's but was not ready to jump in until the latest drivers. The install was not straight forward, Asus board z690/12600k booted to no image, I reset the cmos and rebooted and got an image on my monitor. I downloaded the drivers and have not had any issue's since, I used intel's arc software and cranked up the settings to get a 149 on my GPU score without missing a beat on the benchmark software, for $250 this has been a very feel good buy, thanks to the dev's for pushing to get it stable.
Cons: The initial boot gave me a no signal, but I did not do a driver cleanup from my 6950xt. I purposely did not as many other cards do not require it, clearing cmos did the trick.
Overall Review: I think Intel getting into the market with these prices are great, the manipulation from amd and nvidia stinks, I can afford whatever I want to buy as long as the price is fair for what I am buying. Newegg has been good to me for many years and I know i'm usually dealing with like mind computer employees which help if there is an issue.
