    Yeah, you’re an enthusiast looking for enthusiast parts.

    Try to understand that you’re not the only people in the market or discussion.

      And that’s why I said it’s well placed for budget rigs. If I was building a computer today, I’d probably go with the B580.

      However, I already have a computer with an RX 6650 XT, and while the B580 is an upgrade (10-15% higher FPS, esp at higher resolutions), it’s not enough to really convince me to upgrade. However, a higher RAM variant would because it adds capabilities that I can’t get with my current card.

      Intel needs marketshare, and a high VRAM SKU would get a lot of people talking. They don’t even need to sell a lot of that SKU to make a big difference, it just needs to exist and have decent software support. They could follow it up with an enterprise lineup targeted at AI and GPGPU once the SW ecosystem is solid (which enthusiasts like me will help test).
