    Yes, all of that is for old systems, like 6+ years old, as was stated earlier. Intel has been clear about needing a recent-ish CPU (Intel 10th gen or AMD 3000 series) with resizeable bar support enabled. So if you’re seeing terrible performance, options are:

    • upgrade CPU - a 5600X runs ~$120 and works with many older boards
    • hack around missing option for resizable bar support
    • wait for Intel to address the problem
    • buy a different GPU - RX 6700 XT is a good deal used

    If you’re building a new system or upgrading from an APU, the B580 is a phenomenal deal. If your system is 6+ years old, you’ll probably want to upgrade your CPU anyway.
