    Second generation of cards targeting budget computers that can’t run on budget computers…intel silicon at this point is assured to be dead on arrival

      There are performance issues on old hardware, not budget hardware.

      Anyway I’m going to cut them some slack. Like you said, it’s only their second generation and we badly need competition in this space, especially at the low end. It’s good to have options.

        Competition is a must in the gpu market atm and the upgrade market is a fast the growing market as the market leader continues to price out consumers.

        That said, this intel silicon degradation in quality cannot be ignored across CPUs and GPUs. It’s now consistently lowering in quality.

        Very recently found the architecture has a serious bottleneck that cripples performance on low end cpus. Not very old cpus, current generation budget processors that results in unexplained 35% or more performance loss.

        Reviews have updated and are being updated since about 3 days ago now with the recommendations going from great budget card to “stay very far away”.
