Amazing! Or it would have been in an alternate timeline where the RX7600 and RTX4060 were just released. Over here in the real world, Intel is more than a year late to the party with a lackluster product. NVIDIA and AMD have new cards releasing in early 2025 and, given that the B580 is within 15% of last year's offerings in 1080p, it's probably about to be outclassed. I really hope its existence at least forces the other two to stop with the 8GB of VRAM insanity but unless you need to upgrade right now, you shouldn't care about this. So can we stop pretending it's a good product?

depending on what amd and Nvidia's prices are it could still be a good product, just not a competitor to a 5080.

Saying it's "not a competitor to a 5080" is disingenuous. It's also not gonna be a competitor to the 5070 and will barely compete with the 5060, and that's assuming NVIDIA somehow only improves upon the 4060 by 15%, which would be their worst generational leap in like 10 years. The B580 is an almost 2025 card with 2023 performance. Its only purpose is to force NVIDIA and AMD to cut down their prices.
