Not to be melodramatic, today might be one of the most important days in PC gaming history. Intel is launching its first batch of Arc GPUs today, adding a third major competitor to a market that\u2019s been dominated by Nvidia<\/a> and AMD (or ATI, back in the day) for as long as many gamers and creators can remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now the question is just whether Intel\u2019s discrete GPUs are any good. <\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll go ahead and warn you right away that Intel didn\u2019t provide any hard comparisons with its competitors; we\u2019ll have to wait for real-world benchmarks for those. Still, there\u2019s a lot to unpack here. The technically inclined can go read Intel\u2019s official <\/span>announcement<\/span><\/a>, but we\u2019ve summed up the main things you should know.<\/span><\/p>\n

So can I go buy an Intel GPU and stick it into my desktop now?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Not quite yet. Intel is rolling out its Arc family of GPUs slowly, starting with entry-level units designed for mainstream laptops.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, Intel is dividing its GPUs into three tiers: Arc 3, Arc 5, and Arc 7. Arc 3 is aimed at thin-and-light laptops and is focused on providing a solid 1080p experience, while Arc 5 and Arc 7 target higher resolutions, framerates, and effects.<\/span><\/p>\n
