Overall Review: Good first effort by Intel. The card is efficient, only drawing 55 watts at peak and it runs and quiet. Again, it is an entry level card and seems closer to a GTX 1650, but without the broad compatibility.
To my surprise, after a rough start, it ran Battlefield 2042 with FPS in the mid 40s but very playable. It will run Apex Legends at 60+ fps without issue, but it struggles a bit with Star Wars BF II which is a little jerky at times. Make no mistake, this is a budget / entry level card and performance is on the lower end.
The driver install is easy and like another reviewer mentioned, I like that you do not need to create an account to install the driver. I turned on resizable bar as suggested by Intel to get maximum performance. Overall, the card works well out of the box, installed in an Asus Prime B460M-A motherboard with an i5-10400. To Intel's credit, they have been very up front about what to expect from the card and from my experience there were no surprises. I bought this as a curiosity to see how the first gen GPUs from Intel perform and I plan to hang on to it to see how the drivers improve over time. With that said, I think Intel is on the right track and if they stay committed to sorting out compatibility with older APIs, they will have a competitive product. Pros: If you can only afford one video card for gaming, you would probably be better served to get something with broad compatibility with legacy APIs from AMD / Nvidia. Has intel said this GPU only does what it can on a 12th or better I9 CPU only? Who does that? So my question back to you is, why spend $400 - $4000 on a CPU and not the same or more on a GPU?. And Ryzen 1st -5th gen 3, 5, and 7's AND Thread-Rippers to toss this at. As for anyone wondering why my test rig was 6th gen, I have 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th gen to play with. Today I do not recommend anyone buying the card as a primary GPU but as a AV1 codec encoder. I want team blue to succeed in the GPU market. I really want this card to have matured drivers and will be on the lookout for them. Rocket League demanded 16 Gb ram unlike the 1650 i was comparing this to. Could get an average framerate like intel says i should, But i get a ton of stuttering and frame drops for over 2 seconds while gaming in Halo. Overall Review: -I used a 6th gen intel I7, 8 / 16 gigs of ram for testing, and ssd for boot and game installs Finding drivers at first sent me to July drivers, the August one is what you want (at time of writing) This wasn't exactly Asrock's problem as Intel is just getting out the gate into the GPU market Driver Utility has Afterburner like features and as a widget, while in game, which is neat The Driver utility didn't ask for my blood type, personal interests, age, browsing history unlike team green.
