Intel's $249 Arc B580 is the GPU we've begged for since the pandemic | PCWorld (www.pcworld.com)

If even half of Intel's claims are true, this could be a big shake up in the midrange market that has been entirely abandoned by both Nvidia and AMD.

It's a pretty decent value when stacked up against RTX 4000 and RX 7000 GPUs.

But we're only a month or two from the next generation of Nvidia & AMD cards.

Those companies could even shit the bed for a second generation in a row on price-to-performance improvements, and the B580 will probably just end up being in-line with those offerings.

Yeah,but by the time the 5060 is available, the tarrifs will have it at $450+.

Yeah, I'll be curious to see how that all plays out.

Current GPU pricing still seems to have the 2019-2020 25% GPU tariff price baked-in. Note how prices didn't drop 25% when those were rescinded.

Do Nvidia & AMD factor those in their pricing and give consumer a break? Or do they just jack up prices again and aim for mega-profits?

Hell, will the tariffs even happen? At one point, those tariffs were supposedly contingent on U.S. Federal income taxes being abolished, and being used to replace that government tax income. The income tax part seems to have been dropped from the narrative ever since the election.
