by AdrianI bought this card purely out of curiosity , been eyeing it up for about a year but didn't want to spend £400 on something I knew I only use for a little bit then put away so I snapped it up on a deal for £269 with a game , at this price I have to say I am impressed , the card is well built , its quiet and it overclocks quite good , I did 2651Mhz on mine , 2700Mhz might be possible , I'm a high refresh gamer , owning a 7900XTX and a 1440p 240Hz monitor I was never going to use it full time but I can absolutely see someone on a 75Hz monitor using this as a daily driver as the performance in the games I tested is hoovering around 80 - 100fps at 1440p with XESS set to either Quality or Ultra Quality and that's at Ultra settings in games like Diablo 4 , Path of Exile 2 , Hogwarts Legacy , in War Thunder I get 120 - 150fps on average so not bad for a first attempt from Intel , the drivers although minimalistic have most of the things you will need , apart from the overclocking attempts they haven't crashed and neither have any of the games I played so they improved massively from the release , XESS is also pretty good , better than FSR 2.2 no doubt but Intel needs to get it into more games especially the 1.3 version, it's probably not the best buy now at £299 due to B580 being faster in every game than this and cheaper but on a sale if you have a 1080p 144Hz or 1440p 75Hz monitor I can recommend this :) PS. Power draw is not that high it was pulling around 150 - 170 watts on average in demanding games until I started overclocking so it doesn't heat up the room , my cat misses the 7900XTX being in my PC haha
