84/100 editorial
US launch / reference: $449
Manufacturer source ↗Start with the tradeoffs
Consider Arc B580 for
- Incredible $/frame at 1440p
- 12 GB VRAM on a budget card
- Modern AV1 + XeSS 2
Tradeoff: PCIe 4.0 x8 interface (not x16) — bottlenecks on PCIe 3.0 boards
Consider NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB for
- 16 GB at last on the x60 class
- DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation
- Sub-200 W TBP
Tradeoff: 8 GB SKU exists and confuses buyers
