Hardware canucks 5 days ago(the intel arc B580 is broken), hardware unboxed 4 days ago (B580 overhead issue upgraders beware) and then updated with more testing 3 days ago to address skeptics (B580 overhead issue Ryzen 5…).
The performance loss is worse in older processors so it will impact the upgrade market the most which will be this card. Its a budget card perfect for upgrades. Not any more.
And your wrong.
Its severely impacting current gen budget processors smashing performance by 35% or more. Catchup on the reviews over the past few days.
Hardware unboxed have covered this as have others. The driver issue is at this stage believed to be unlikely the cause.
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”.

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
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.
