Pros: AMD Reference card is very high quality! Fairly quiet even in my mostly-mesh case (Asus AP201). Handles everything I throw at it, even Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 at High settings at 4K native! GTA V maxed out only uses half the GPU.

Cons: Compared to the 7900 XTX, the XT is quite a bit worse in performance per dollar. It's 17% worse than the XTX while being only 10% cheaper. However, depending on your build, that price difference could make the difference between compromising on a different part or pushing you over budget, so that doesn't mean it sucks, it's just something to be aware of.

Overall Review: My RX 6600 8GB was great for 1080P60 gaming, but ever since I upgraded my monitor to 4K60 I've been wanting more. So, I bought myself the RX 7900 XT for Christmas, and I love it! I have this card paired with an i5-11600K, and I think that's a fine match.

Pros: -None. not even its cheap price. yes its that terrible.

Cons: -This is a terrible quality psu. -Low quality capacitors -Not many connectors -Cheap, loud fan -Flimsy casing -Ugly -No internal filtering (dangerous) -Designed as a 200-300w Power Supply -It can't do the labeled wattages. It's a lousy over-rated power supply that can do 300w if you're lucky. -Low quality design of the +5VSB rail so if it fails (which it will because its junt) you will damage your motherboard. -BAD BAD BAD!

Overall Review: -First off, you can trust what I have said here because I own an internet forum specifically about PSU and PSU repair. -I purchased one and opened it up to see how it was built. I am not guessing about the Cons i have seen them with my own eyes. -Please don't entrust your new computer components to this "480w" 300w power supply.

Overall Review: I chose this particular video card because it is a compact design compared to many other designs based on the same GPU. Oh, and it cheaper than some of the other brands of the same GPU, so why not? I bought this for Comma Chestnut but stress tested it in a PC and it runs cool and quiet regardless of the smaller cooler design. Not sure about gaming performance but you can look the benchmarks up.

Pros: Price per GB for AI workloads is unbeatable which is why I bought two of these. They look really nice and professional. Well made. Fan is pretty quiet even under load with two of them installed right next to each other.

Cons: Originally tried in a gaming PC with Intel B760 chipset and 14th gen i7. Spent hours trying to get it to work right and never got it working. Ultimately ended up putting them in my Lenovo ThinkStation P3 gen 2 which has Intel W880 chipset and Core Ultra CPU. At least then they worked... sort of. Intermittent crashing in games, LM studio, and OpenCode. Tried removing one to see if it was just an issue with dual GPUs on this motherboard but nope - same issues.

Overall Review: It's sad that Intel Arc GPUs are still a mess. Unfortunate because more competition in the desktop graphics space is awesome. But I'm going to be sending these back for a refund since they simply don't work properly. I had tried an Arc A380 when it first came out and was so excited then too... but ultimately ended up returning that one as well. I don't think in over a decade of building PCs for personal use, friends and family, and clients, I've ever returned a new GPU except Intel Arc cards. Bummer! I really wanted to love these but I simply can't recommend you purchase them. Sorry!

Pros: -Great performance at a reasonable price for 4K60 gaming. -XFX cooler runs cool and quiet even under load.

Cons: -Previous gen cards like this don't have as good of Ray Tracing performance as the RX 7000 series BUT if that's not important to you (it doesn't matter to me) these are a much better deal than the "latest and greatest" cards.

Overall Review: Overall, this XFX Merc RX 6950 XT is a great performing GPU for gamers that either play at high refresh rate 1440P or 60hz 4K gaming as long as you don't need the best Ray Tracing performance. I've bought many XFX video cards from the HD 4350 way back when to an RX 7900 XT in another build and now this RX 6950 and they never disappoint.

Pros: -Insanely great video encode/decode performance for the price. -Better DX12 gaming performance compared to other budget cards. handles MSFS 2020 surprisingly well at 1080P, for example! -ASRock's cooler is reasonably attractive, chill, and very quiet even at full load.

Cons: -Not the most consistent card for DX11 and older games. -REQUIRES a newer system with Resizable BAR support for proper performance so if you have a motherboard/system that's not a modern AMD setup or older than Intel 10th-gen, you should NOT buy this card. It will still function in systems without ReBAR but it'll perform pretty badly. -As of this writing, Folding@Home is not supported on this GPU. According to F@H developers, Intel's driver simply isn't stable enough for emulating FP64 functions at this time, which would require Intel to fix that. -The first ASRock A380 I got was defective, it would only output to like 1/10 monitors. The second one I got works perfectly on all my monitors. -It would be nice for ASRock to made a "non OC" low-profile-capable version of the A380 that doesn't require a 6-pin power connector - the A380 chip has a 75W TDP so I know it's possible.

Overall Review: Intel Arc is intriguing, and we definitely need a 3rd player in the discrete GPU industry, so I'm glad this product exists. Its larger brother the A750 is an insanely good value, although I settled for the A380 since it's just for my secondary system and I don't use it much. At the time of this writing, Intel is bunding a few free games and creative software with its Arc cards. Sadly, some of the software is only for a 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month period, it's not forever free. Still, some of the options in the bundle are full versions, which is cool. I wouldn't buy this card just for the included software, but it does make it a better value. I would overall recommend this card, especially if you care about video encode/decode or play mainly DX12 titles or older games that simply aren't intensive enough for the A380's inconsistent DX9-11 performance to be an issue. The competition to the Arc A380 6GB is the AMD RX 6400 4GB. Between the two, this Intel card is overall a better buy in my opinion, but you might want to research your favorite games to see which card will run them better.
