I hope Intel can get a solid foothold between AMD and Nvidia. There really needs to be more fairly priced competition in the GPU market.

That power consumption though... The price difference against the 3050 will be eaten up by the electricity bill really fast
Love the pricing! But why do they have to bundle mandatory telemetry in their installer and graphics utility 😭 I would have made the jump for this if they had an option to install drivers only
On the Linux side, you get people installing debug builds of drivers, bisecting to identify which commit broke something, doing apitraces, capturing crash dumps and opening bug reports to submit that stuff to driver devs.
You don't really get that sort of thing on Windows, so the drivers try to do it through telemetry. It's how the devs know which games or hardware configs are crashing and need fixes.
I'm sitting on an aging GTX 970. In no position to do a full new build but I wonder if it is worth taking a chance on one of these at that price point.
I replaced mine with a 275€ 6650xt about a year ago. Still really happy with the decision.
Yeah, but how is it for older games? Because last I looked there were games that wouldn't even run on it.
I'd love to see Intel compete properly but AMD/ATI and nVidia have been fixing broken games at the driver level for decades now, and I doubt even Intel can catch up with that.
Oh, I wish it was launched a year ago.
