Sparkle Intel Arc A580 ORC OC Edition, 8GB GDDR6, ThermalSync, Torn Cooling, Axial Fan, Metal Backplate, SA580C-8GOC

A very sturdy and tough graphics card Pros: I didn't expect less from a electronics builder as Sparkle, despite its absence in the graphics cards niche. in fact, this is a company who build nice things. A G.c. well built, with a nice size, not oversized or too compact, with enough heatsink to keep the beast cool under 40.c in a room over 32.c with no fan noise. In rendering or gaming, with all the power that she wants to engulf, don't come over 70 c. maybe I have to work or gaming harder with this. A very silent G.c. . the fans on the card, don't exceed the 1300 rpm. this is just logic, related to kind of usage and room temperature, (25c. when is cold, 34.c when is hot) this at normal video playing and working, photo editing and, graphics design, average office work. etc... is just imperceptible and very stable. the industrial design of the graphics card are flawless. straight lines, nice "intel blue" color, not overloaded with unnecessary "rgb" like an "spielberg ufo", a nice trio of well built fans, and a useful light that indicates the temperature in real time, besides being aesthetic. I think that this G.c. is one of a kind, and Intel is right now, despite the critics or weaning and moaning from of millennials users, making a very nice job, as usual with Intel products, a nice engineering, and is noted that intel and its software team are working hard to support this line of product and make it grow, powerful and stable. the cost-benefit ratio is unbeatable. In my whole pc career, using Pcs daily, is very nice to see a third fighter in this arena, offering a very wide variety of products and prices, according to the most of peoples budgets and needs, not only bloating with merchandising and overdosing Rgb lights, selling to you things that you don't need at all at ridiculous prices cons: none at this very moment. If you want to buy one of this G.c. you have to know, this is not a product for an average puberty boy or teenager who wants just "lights and numbers". ..."look mine is better because I get 10k fps". "more Rgb for more fps" kind of user. despite this, you will get nice numbers if that's only worrying you about. you only need to know, some games are optimized for some G. cards than others, and this is the world we living right now. in any case, "choose wisely which game to play in your card, or just buy a G.c. for play your game". also, if you' re more a creator or I.t. worker than a gamer, like me, this Arc G.C. line up is for you. I hope that this will be useful to you. Grettings

I installed the Sparkle Intel Arc A770 ROC Luna OC Edition in my Plex server to handle AV1 transcoding and it delivered smooth, reliable hardware acceleration from the first stream. Setup was straightforward—just slot it into the PCIe x16 slot, install the Intel Arc drivers, and Plex immediately recognized the hardware encoder. Transcoding multiple 4K streams ran without hiccups, and the dual 100 mm fans kept temperatures in check under load while staying surprisingly quiet. The card’s white metal backplate and 2.5-slot design fit neatly in my compact case, and the 16 GB of GDDR6 memory handled large buffers with ease. It does draw more power than Intel’s A310 model—around 225 W under full load—so I ended up swapping it for an A310 to save on energy costs. That said, its build quality, higher clock speeds, and robust AV1 performance make it a strong choice if you have the PSU headroom and want top-tier transcoding throughput.

The A770 TITAN OC Edition boasts a beautiful design and excellent build quality. Its triple-fan cooling system ensures efficient thermal performance, making it an attractive addition to any gaming rig. Performance: For 1080p gaming, the A770 holds its ground. It's a decent performer across a broad range of titles, both older and newer. Where the A770 truly shines is at 1440p. If you're pushing higher resolutions or playing VRAM-intensive titles with high to ultra settings, this GPU delivers great results. Whether you're gaming with or without ray-tracing, the A770 TITAN OC Edition holds its own. Pros: - Beautiful Design: The A770 features an eye-catching design. - Premium Build Quality: Sturdy construction with excellent thermal management. - Generous VRAM: 16GB of VRAM for future-proofing. - Solid 1080p and 1440p Performance: Ideal for most gamers. - 256 bit memory bus - 3x DisplayPort 2.0 - 1x HDMI 2.0b Cons: - Performance and Driver Issues: While Intel's drivers have dramatically improved (I cannot stress this enough DRAMATICALLY since launch), there's still room for stability enhancements. - Competition from Other GPUs: The GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 provide stiff if lackluster competition. Final Thoughts The SPARKLE Intel Arc A770 TITAN OC Edition is a compelling choice for gamers seeking a mainstream GPU with ample VRAM. I bought this expecting for it to struggle with the games I play, but surprisingly that has not been my experience. I'm glad to report that I've had ZERO issues. I do have it paired with an Intel i7 12700k CPU which takes advantage of Intels' Deep Link technology which boosts the performance of this GPU. In summary, the A770 TITAN OC Edition offers great value, especially for those aiming at 1440p gaming. This is a sturdy and robust piece of hardware. Its performance is truly remarkable. I recommend grabbing one while they’re still available! I am very happy with this purchase! Happy gaming!

Stuck this in an old i7-6700k running Linux and it's exactly what it needed. Great value for the price. My next major build will have an intel as well. Nvidia and AMD can get bent.

Intel ARC oramai si sta consolidando soprattutto su Windows senza disdegnare l'ambiente Linux laddove pero' manca ancora di un pannello di controllo per monitorare voltaggi e temperature (che nel mio caso sono stati fisicamente sopperiti con una sonda e un pannello frontale del case). Con le variabili d'ambiente DXVK migliora ancora di piu' anche se per me il gaming e' saltuario. Principalmente la uso per Blender 4.2 LTS con le openAPI dove al benchmark ha totalizzato 1800.94 punti. Dignotosissima, considerando che si pone tra una RTX 2060 e una RTX 2070 (la Super e' logicamente superiore). Non e' complicata da configurare, i drivers open source MESA sono i medesimi delle AMD Radeon su Linux. Spero duri di piu' della mia defunta Radeon Pro 5500 e che non speculino sui prezzi in futuro perche' l'unico vero dubbio su Intel e' la distribuzione in Europa, al momento, non all'altezza e a dir poco irrispettosa. Infatti da poco e' uscita la B580 e non e' ben supportata dalle nostre parti, non e' purtroppo un problema relativo solo all'Italia ma in tutta Europa, quindi grave come situazione. Speriamo Intel rimedi presto perche' queste schede hanno un senso se riescono a ridurre il predominio Nvidia sulla fascia media essendo anche migliori delle Radeon di fascia media (e almeno fino ad Alchemist, meno costose).

La arc a580 tiene la mejor relación precio/FPS del mercado según tomshardware, pero tiene algunas desventajas: 1. Intel todavía necesita mejorar los drivers porque algunos juegos como Uncharted se cierran inesperadamente haciendo imposible terminar el juego. 2. Cuando los abanicos funcionan al 90%-100% de velocidad son muy ruidosos, literalmente como una aspiradora. En conclusión, no encontrarás una GPU nueva con mejor rendimiento por ese precio pero también es un riesgo porque no sabemos que tanto pueda mejorar los drivers de Intel en futuras versiones.

Price is a bit high, card is not good for games but very efficient and powerful for transcoding

La verdad que Intel se superó con esta joya no le pide nada a la 4060. Y la encontré a un súper precio la recomiendo ampliamente
