I didn't mention anything about 1440p/2160p. The card is bad for any gaming as claimed and proved by the following authors.

Intel Arc A380 Review: Great for Video, Weak for Gaming

Intel needs more than an Alchemist to save this sinking Arc

Look at the stutter show in actual gameplay:

You are seriously using Hogwarts Legacy as a benchmark for a mid-tier card that is 3 years old?

Hell, let's just benchmark a GTX1050ti with CyberPunk2077 while we're at it...

Context is important. You're missing it, or maybe you're deliberately shitposting, who knows at all...

the benchmarks definitely dont include any of the performance fixes, it's from september '22

Are you referring to the A380? Part the architecture surely is 3 years old but Intel only released them about a year ago

Huh, you're right. It seems like it's been longer.

Who said it's a good gaming card? The post you quoted only claimed that 6GB is enough for it. Which is true. More VRAM would not help in any meaningful way.

It's a reasonable card for gaming as long as expectations are appropriate. It's a budget card. That's the appropriate expectation. Playing AAA titles on High or Ultra settings made within the last few years is not realistic for the A380 anymore than it would be for an RTX4050.

So @ARF saying that the A380 can't push Hogwarts Legacy at playable framerates is extremely disingenuous and deliberately unfair.
