I would cherry pick a little bit more.Honestly, I'm kinda shocked by the performance. I was expecting 4060 (but actually slightly better) and I thought that would've been an ok performance but I see them actually struggling to even do that. Worst of all, the RT numbers vs AMD are also pretty bad, which is where I'd have thought they'd wipe the floor with them. And ofc plenty of problems still there typical of ARC. Basically it has 12 GB of vram going for it on the budget, but that's it. No way they only manage to put out low range cards and still can't even outcompete there (after they already have to use a much larger to die to even do that!) and they survive. Don't forget, RDNA 3 & Lovelace are the old cards, this will have to compete for much longer with Blackwell & RDNA 4!
I genuinely think this kills their GPU division.

Intel done good according to the vast majority of reviews, and you don't have to run muddy texture settings to keep in vram.

Its not a bad card IMO, nothing wrong with it, its just over priced, at $200 it would be good but really that's all it is, a good $200 card. Its not a 4060 for 4060 money.

Why say that Intel done good then comment with the following you don't have to run muddy texture settings to keep in vram then go on to debunk yourself with the charts you posted showing in the games tested VRAM isnt an issue.Intel done good according to the vast majority of reviews, and you don't have to run muddy texture settings to keep in vram.
The 12 game average shows that the RTX 4060ti 8GB and the RTX 4060ti 16GB have identical performance showing that a if an 8GB 580 existed vs a 12GB B580 it would very likely be the same performance.
It's funny to me how people don't see that Intel following AMD's strategy (similar performance, more memory, slightly cheaper, and some other disqualifying issues which people can use to justify Nvidia instead) isn't going to be a winner.
Once you look at 60 fps normalised results the picture looks a lot less rosy. Right now I've sadly seen too many outlets include and talk about how X GPU is y% better than Z but it's under 30 fps results. A complete joke.

Modern games will reduce texture streaming quality to maintain performance. This means you will see lower quality textures on lower VRAM cards or textures taking longer to load. HUB and other outlets showed it.
Then there is worse 1% lows. My mate with an RX6700XT has far less of those issues compared to my RTX3060TI 8GB. I am starting to see it pop up more often. But I intend to upgrade in the next few months if I can,and I had this card since 2021.
With the consoles having between 10GB to 12GB of VRAM,I wouldn't be spending decent money on an 8GB card now unless you are running older or more casual games.Even Digital Foundry is saying more VRAM is needed and they have far more exclusive access to gaming stuff than many here. The RTX3060 12GB can produce better 1% lows than an RTX4060 8GB.
But with 3GB GDDR7 modules Nvidia can make the RTX5060 12GB with a 128 bit bus:
Samsung unveils 24Gb GDDR7 memory — up to 42.5 Gbps modules with 30% higher efficiency
Mass production is planned for early next year.
I expect at that point finally the 8GB meme will go away.

Can you show me on the doll where Arc hurt you?
