Not sure why the video reviewers are going wild for this - it's 5% better than a 4060 (and in the UK is still the same price)

It will be the extra 4GB of VRAM, should mean the card will age much better.
Assuming Intel support it long enough for that to matter

This is the key, I hope they remain committed, apparently Celestial and Druid are in development, so it seems despite what some YouTubers like MLID claim, Intel is still committed to Arc.Assuming Intel support it long enough for that to matter
Either way, I've gotten a B580 LE on order, as at minimum, it will be a collector's item if Intel do ever exit the GPU market.

It's an RX6700XT for less money,with better power consumption and better RT performance. The consoles also have 10GB to 12GB of usable VRAM too,so 12GB is a good minimum to have. The RX6700XT is considered the best value sub £300 card ATM(it can be had frequently on offers at that price).

??? (the 4060 is a PCI-E 4.0 8x card. Even dropping to PCI-E 3.0 it's a <5% loss)

vexing question: if your friend has £250 to buy a GPU, can't wait for next gen, needs it to last at least a few years, requires good compatibility with older games and doesn't want to go second hand what would you recommend?
I had to deal with this earlier in the year so Arc wasn't a real option at the time but I'm not sure I've seen anything today that would have changed my suggestion.

Because elsewhere in the world there is a significant price differential.
6700XT if you can find one on this mythical deal that I've never seen
If not then either a Radeon 7600 (8GB), Geforce RTX 4060 (8GB) or RTX 3060 (12GB)
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 Pulse Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-02Y-AM) = £229.99
- 1 x MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X OC 12GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-374-MS) = £244.99
- 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Twin Edge 8GB Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-03197) = £248.99
Total: £731.96 (includes delivery: £7.99)
No such thing as a bad product only a bad price etc...
In the UK therefore this isn't really a go wild kind of product imo
