Intel DG1 tested

Intel's drivers are a concern when it comes to how competitive they'll be with AMD and Nvidia when they launch their "real" dedicated cards. They've always been absolutely godawful for gaming purposes, and every title they tested here exhibited terrible lows and stuttering despite the overkill CPU.

Useless compared to a GT 1030 or Radeon 550 then.
It would have to cost at most £40 to be worth bothering with.

Can we presume that Intel are trying to become 10nm binning champions with this one so they don't have to dump parts where the CPU is broken?
The only interesting bench was that it outperforms the integrated Iris in the i7-1165G7 which is actually the 95EU version of this AFAIK.
The other thing of interest is that it is passive, but then I've not paid much attention to GT 1030s or R550s.

You can get up to passive GTX 1650s, look up Palit Kalmx. AMD partners don't seem to be as interested, but not just the RX 550 but the 560 could most definitely be passively cooled at stock clocks.
back in the day I had some excellent passively cooled cards in my shuttle boxes
there is a market for them
as for this intel offering its only a taster and shows how they can evolve

Drivers need work to smooth the frame times but it's interesting to see Intel up and running anyway.
So complicated in the naming structure etc he had to keep referring to his script. No hard conclusions.
Well yeah there is one its pap. Just buy a GT 1030 but make sure its the DDR5 version not DDR4.
Only market I can see them aiming this at is AMD CPU system builders.
If Intel do bring out the whatever its called serious Desktop Gaming Discrete GPU dont think it will set the world on fire and I dont think AMD or Nvidia have anything to worry about at the moment.

Aren't they working on a proper gaming card? Sure won't compete with the top two, however I read somewhere it will support FSR.
Depends if they can do rx5700 performance around £200 that will put the cat among the pigeons
yes but its still believe it when we see it after the false starts before.
I think that is just a pipe dream at that price.
More likely be something around rx 580
Maybe but even something slower will sell well so many older 1060 owners looking for a boast

Well right now theres nothing available / worth buying in the midrange at current prices, so even if Intel manage to get something out thats around 1660 performance for under £200 and sort the drivers out, it will sell well.

There's nothing available at any price range. All cards have moved into top end. Once supply is sorted all prices will come down to normal again.
The 5060 will be a £300-£400 card tops potentially even £150-£300 if AMD sort their act out on the GPU front.
tis true but then if its where the volume is why are AMD or Nvidia not touching that space ?
Also makes me wonder whether these Intel cards will just be OEM and go to system builders thats where Intels current desktop sales volume is.
I think the demand for their high end (and high margin) silicon has been so ridiculously high, combined with limited production capacity, that they have surmised they can make more money directing what capacity they have to the high end. This thinking has likely also driven AMD to not offer non-X 5000 series CPU's as of yet too.
I think if both AMD/NV had capacity, they would've filled every market segment.
Thats the other thing with Intel, they might bring out a £200 price per performance card but then AMD and Nvidia will just release what they have in the wings and kill it off.
Definitely, think that's a very good point. I don't think NV/AMD will sit quietly if intel come in with a compelling product. Competition can only be a good thing!
