MSRP Vs MSRP that's pretty good for B580 given it's going to be about £100 cheaper. It will be interesting to see if AMD can deliver a 9060 with usable ray tracing hardware given its got the same number of shader cores as the card it's replacing.Rumour: B580 10% slower than Radeon 9060 XT.

Question I'm not really a gamer so don't need a powerhouse GPU I just like to use a separate GPU and not use onboard.
I currently have AMD 9950x3D on a MSI X870E Tomahawk, using an old 970gtx purchased from MM, but the HDMI doesn't work so had to go through display port so I've decided it's time to get a new card.
I just don't know what card to get but I don't want another nvidia card. Other issue I have is what low endish card is equivalent or better than the onboard I currently have!
Some of the AMD cards look at bit too pricey and I don't really want to spend that much so the Intel Arc 750 looks to be the bet price would this OK? I do a lot of video encoding but never used a GPU to encode (using Staxrip) and the 8gb on this does look better than most low end cards.

Yeah, but if it is worth paying £50 over the A310, I don't know. The IGP in your 9950X3D is based on RDNA2 so the Arc is better (it has AV1 encode, for example).
The A750 is out-dated; get the B570 or B580. You might also want to check with @Gibbo on the availability of Arc's professional cards - the B60 in particular.

Was looking at the 310 but thought for £50 more the 750 does look better choice, faster clock and more memory. I've always used CPU never tried a.GPU for encoding and the extra ram on the 750 would help. They are only £150 at the moment.
@Quartz will have a look at those later mate thank you.

The 770 and the B range maybe a bit more than I wanted to spend on one, the 750 @£150 doesn't look that bad and is probably the right amount I need to spend.
B580 vs RX 9060 XT 16 GB.
TLDW: The RX 9060XT is about 25% faster. Sometimes more, sometimes less. This puts them on a par value-wise, the 9060 XT being 26% more expensive. Both cards are (as of writing) available from OCUK at MSRP.

It gets a bit more compelling when you throw in the 8Gb 9060 to the mix. Given it's the same die size as the older 7600 AMD could easily drop the price of it to around £220 and put B580 in a difficult position.
I think £220 would be pushing it; more like £260. Remember that the only difference between the two is the cost of the VRAM chips. But if you look at USA prices the B580 is $100 cheaper than the RX 9060 16 GB ($250 vs $350) so I think it's Intel who should be cutting prices, by around £50. £215 would be a very compelling price for the B580, giving clear air between it and the Radeon.

I don't think anyone needs to do anything in reaction to an 8gb card these days. 
Yeah, i haven't watched that video but a modern high performance GPU doesn't do so well on an old CPU, not surprising, put an equivalent Nvidia and AMD GPU up on the same CPU for comparison.
The AMD GPU will win but yes this chart is meaningless.
I agree.
