Coupon still works as of today. Good deal, usually it's only the single fan model that goes this cheap. The rtx4060 is priced cheaper in…

The $329 deal was out of stock the entire time it was active, and looked like a pricing error. You shouldn't use that as your baseline. The…

Boop Doucha on ASRock Arc B580 Challenger 12GB OC GPU, Assassin's Creed Shadows, 6-M Ubisoft Classics $439 Delivered + SC @ Scorptec

He admitted pricing and performance was similar between rtx4060 and B580, and then whinged a bunch of random stuff about Intel business…

Note that the "free delivery" is uninsured, you will be prompted to pay $8 for auspost insurance, which is fair and probably advisable

At the risk of repeating other comments, the intel cards have a high driver overhead that will strain any weaker-midrange CPU. E.g. you…

Mine arrived. Quick shipping, everything works. Mounted on my VESA arm. So far so good. I've only used 1080P 24" screens before so it's…

Nom on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

This new issue isn't about ReBAR. It means any CPU (including modern ones) is getting bottlenecked much earlier on B580 than rival cards.…

Sure, but the B580 is only a clear winner in competitiveness when it undercuts the 4060, which is the case in the american market. In…

Looks like PLE and PCCG have raised their prices on all their B580s. LE now $469 up from 439. Sparkle Titan now selling for $499. Dodgy,…

Everettpsycho on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

ReBAR is important, it will run without it but at a significant (~15%) reduction in performance. PCIE 4.0 (11th gen intel) is likely to…

JTayzer on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

The A770 for $399 is definitely an interesting discount from its RRP, and I considered it myself, but we already knew that the B580 was…

Mr Bob Dobalina on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

There's been a lot of inflation of the last few years. So yeah a first guess would be to take the 4060's RRP and add 20% if it's simply a…

There's not many options for GPUs under this price. It's either this, or a 4060 for the same price, or an rx6600 for $300. I think you can…

MHLoppy on [Pre Order] Intel Arc B580 LE 12GB GDDR6 Graphics Card $439 Delivered ($0 MEL C&C) @ PC Case Gear

A 4060 for $400 (common deal price, current low is $420) is about even value with a b580 for $439 just going by performance and not other…

It is ok, if the molecule is safe. You should prioritise being mad at chemicals that are *actually harmful*. If NOP-3 was a thousand times…

Interesting message. Maybe it's true that it still wouldn't do VOLTE in emergency mode. From what I've read, it's impossible to check.…
