    As someone who hasn’t been following this at all…these are comparable to recent cards? I read the article and they did a benchmark against the RTX 4060 which was released last year. Are these more for casual gamer rigs? I guess I’m trying to figure out if these are a good choice for a rog I’m currently building for my teen.

      I’d wait for independent reviews. The first wave of Intel GPUs had a lot of issues, mostly related to drivers. From what I understand Intel has come a long way on the driver front in the past year, but we don’t have a clear picture on their overall state with the new parts. Reviewers like GamersNexus will call out whether the current state of the drivers are good enough for a recommendation, or if Intel still has more ground to cover.

      On paper they look really good to me. It’s only 9 days until launch of the more expensive one so maybe worth holding off for proper benchmarks if you can?

      edit: Unless it’s a Christmas present I suppose!

        Haha appreciate the forethought. Yeah I’m going to hold off until more info is available. Looks promising though!!
