    That’s great for a budget build or if you are sticking to medium settings in a 1080p game with most advanced graphics features turned off.

    But how the hell could anyone recommend it over an RTX 5060?

    And just because you have more vram doesn’t mean a straight line to better performance. There are far more factors involved.

    No offense to the author but it kind of felt like they were paid, asked to do a puff piece or being blatantly ignorant around reality.

    FYI, I’m not an expert on graphics cards or journalism so take my comment for what it’s worth. I just game and have for a long time.

      Intel GPUs aren’t better performance but they’re better value if you’re short on cash. The B580 is about $100 cheaper than the 5060 and is only about 20% slower. Depending on the game, it might match or even exceed the 5060.

        Certainly better on Linux/SteamOS

      In 2026 and 27 these cards will probably be pathways to an affordable build. With RAM at 400-600 dollars its about to get insane. We’re gonna stay on indie games.
