Competitive with what?

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

At price point it's beating everything with RX 9060 XT 8GB being close.

If I'm reading this right, you could spend $50 more ($300 vs. $250 for the Intel) for a 9060 and get an almost 50% perf improvement.

This seems to say that if your limit is the dollars, the Intel cards may be a semi-workable option, but I guess it hinges a lot on your definition of "viable."

I replied to something similar here https://lemmy.zip/post/68876302/27983780

But yea, intel is only competitive on the low end. But that is perfectly fine. 3rd world countries exist. We like Arc here.

How's compatibility with older games these days? I remember drivers having trouble with games that aren't among the typical titles used for benchmarking being a surprising weakness of Intel cards.

I heard it's improved but idk, I don't own one myself
