Intel Core i5-2500K, or better (SSE 4.2 and AVX support required) RAM 8 GB Video card AMD. But as Intel continues to refine its drivers and improve its cards' performance, that will change, and when it does, a third player in the GPU market could help bring down graphics card prices for everyone, not just Intel Arc fans. Some laptops and desktop PCs have more than one graphics card. Intel has finally revealed what its discrete Arc graphics cards will look like. While the Arc graphics cards we've seen are decent enough, they aren't serious competitors for the best AMD graphics cards, much less Team Green's top GPUs. When Intel graphics team lead Raja Koduri left the company last month, there was speculation that it might spell trouble for Intel Arc more broadly, but a more recent commitment by Intel to purchase TSMC GPUs for use in future Arc Battlemage and Arc Celestial releases points to more Arc cards to come, which we welcome. However, the discrete graphics market is stuck in a very tight Red-Green duopoly that has seen a steady increase in price for even the best cheap graphics cards, much less the best graphics card on the market, the $1,599.99 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090.

Intel isn't out here sharing its money with non-shareholders like me, so the company's success or failure is Intel's problem, not ours.

Let me be clear – it is not our responsibility to root for the financial success of a gargantuan semiconductor corporation. And it’s all backed by a rigorous battery of validation tests to ensure compatibility with the latest TUF components. Gamers should root for Intel Arc's success TUF Gaming graphics cards add hefty 3D horsepower to the TUF Gaming ecosystem, with features like Auto-Extreme manufacturing, steel backplates, high-tech fans, and IP5X certifications.
