ASRock Intel ARC A380 Challenger ITX 6GB OC GDDR6 96-bit DisplayPort HDMI 0dB Silent Cooling 2250 MHz 7680 x 4320 PCI Express4.0 Graphics Card 500W

I love this gpu! I’m by no means a gamer so I can’t say how it does in games. I’m a 3d graphics artist who primarily uses Unreal Engine 5.3 and newer. I need at least 16gb (which this is) vram for what I do and prefer to have raytracing and need the latest APIs (Directx openGL OpenCL etc etc etc) and I need something that won’t cook itself especially under full load and make my bedroom feel like a sauna. This checks all those boxes. My only minor and superfluous gripes with this card which didn’t deter me from getting it all and I knew about the from the beginning and honestly didn’t give a you know what are its a big beefy card that uses a decent amount of power (I have a 1000 watt just for headroom for future Ram cpu cooling etc upgrades) it’s a 2.5 slot not a 2 slot so my Matx mobo is down a pcie slot next to this gpu as the cooling fan covers it but I don’t have anything to put in that slot anyway (it’s a pcie x1 and all my AIC cards are pcie x4 x8 and x16 and those are in a different computer altogether) and it has RGB which are pointless to me because my case doesn’t have windows but they are dope looking with the RGB on my mobo so I’m strongly considering a new case but that’s neither here nor there. Another thing I do like about it is it’s quiet which my wife appreciates because my computers are in our bedroom and lately she’s become a light sleeper. This gpu also looks fierce and says I’m mean I’m lean and I’m a gpu rendering machine give me your worst! BRING IT ON!!!! And it backs up it’s smack talk to. I mean the raytracing looks boss the card itself looks badarse it’s cool as a cucumber even under full load it’s 16gb and cheaper than other 16gb on Amazon *cough* Nvidia and AMD *cough* . I got mine for $300 plus tax here on Amazon Nvidia and AMD cards with 16gb raytracing etc cost well over $300 or sometimes over $400 for the same thing (as far as my needs are concerned other people may feel otherwise) and a bonus, you don’t need that pcie 5.0 power connector trash that some RTX cards require. TBH i could have probably just gotten a 750 or 850 watt as I don’t overclock and the rest of the components are pretty reasonable as far as power consumption. I just happened to find a perfectly fine 1000 watt 80 plus gold psu in my basement computer room on a shelf didn’t know what else to do with it so I power this with it. Again probably overkill but I thought it’d be cool. This card I highly recommend for using Unreal Engine Editor especially for large detailed levels with raytracing. Just be aware if you need CUDA this is NOT the card for you. I don’t need CUDA (my other desktop is for that) but I like raytracing and lots of vram and cool and quiet all of which this card has! No you don’t need to do anything fancy like modding coding etc do get this to work with Unreal Engine editor as it is perfectly supported (so forget what people say about absolutely needing RTX or Radeon I did my homework and tested the 4gb Intel arc first and it worked perfectly out of the box and so does this one) I plan on eventually getting a second one for dual gpu setup. No this doesn’t have sli or crossfire by the way. Another nice thing is if you have a 12th gen or newer Intel core cpu with integrated graphics and integrated graphics on your mobo this card works well with that in unreal engine editor at least in my case. So in conclusion if you are using unreal engine editor need 16gb vram raytracing low heat and noise this is the card for you! One last thing it syncs with the RGB on asrock RGB supported hardware as this is asrock as well which I like a lot

I used this as a low-power replacement for the 2070 in my Jellyfin server. Draws next to no power at idle, even during transcoding it only sips power.I run Jellyfin in Docker on Ubuntu.The downside with these lower end cards is that you'll probably run out of VRAM before you run out of compute. I went with the a380 as opposed to the a310 for the extra VRAM so I can support more concurrent streams, however the entire A-series lineup uses the same transcoding engine so the actual transcoding performance you'll get will be the same across the board.I was able to transcode 4K HDR10 HEVC to 4K SDR (tone mapping) AV1 at 250fps, screenshot included. Absolute powerhouse for adding solid transcoding to an older system at an affordable price.

I like this GPU for its media handling capabilities. It can encode, decode or transcode AV1 along with other codecs rapidly which was my primary reason for getting the A380. The 3D performance isn't award winning when I tried gaming with it, but lighter lower requirement or low graphic gaming worked really well. It's not a Cyberpunk 2077 GPU unless you like lower FPS gaming, just letting people know. Stability is much better considering Intel has spend a lot of time improving the drivers over the years. I'm happy about that.It does what I need it to do quite well, so it's a great lower powered GPU with a good value attached to it that I would recommend. Power consumption is pretty good, however the one thing I didn't like is the above average idle power consumption. That's the only issue I had with it and is why I reduced 1 star from my review. I even did all of the recommend adjustments that works for some, but it didn't do anything for me unfortunately.

la mejor tarjeta hasta el momento, con alto rendimiento, actualizaciones constantes y compatibilidad total, si quiere algo con un valor tecnico superior a su precio y que rinda como las supuestamente "mas poderosas" , esta es la tarjeta final.The best card so far, with high performance, constant updates, and full compatibility. If you want something with a technical value superior to its price and that performs like the supposedly "most powerful" ones, this is the ultimate card.
