Great card. I use it to transcode my 100 TB h.264 Bluray Pr0nz remuxes to AV1 and free up a ton of space and with minimal quality loss. The encoder saves so much time and electricity vs SVT-AV1
I don't know of any systems with integrated graphics that gives you ports for 4 monitors.
Not everyone plays games and watches YT all day -- I've got clients that use 3-4 monitors in their office setups. This is an inexpensive but still relatively decent GPU to accomplish that.
That's not at all how I read his response.

Most integrated GPUs, which you had suggested using instead, only have a single monitor port. There are many use cases, office or home, where people would want multiple monitors. Even if they dont require more horsepower than an integrated GPU provides, they wtill need more monitor ports than iGPU has. Yes, you can chain display port, but that requires more expensive monitors. This a380 is indeed a cheap option to drive up to four monitors, plus offers some moderate graphics processing and hardware encoding/decoding.

But now I get the feeling I may have just fed a troll.

Do you get any weird stutters watching Youtube? I was getting frame drops trying to watch 4K on the iGPU of my i7–12700k and was wondering if it was an Intel problem or an iGPU problem. Everything's fine when using my discrete GPU

Yes. YT videos suffer black spots or frame drops when watching, but I don't think it's an A380 issue. My video playback with VLC and using my video editing program is flawless.

Am I? I don't think I am. In any case your sarcasm and dismissal of this card as being useless in 2024, I was merely giving you an example of why this card actually is useful.

Hope you find a job soon.

The pictures of the card on Newegg are better than Amazon, and I don't see any power connector on the card from any angle.

One thing about the ARC series most folks miss is the Resizable BAR support. 10th Gen cpu or greater. Otherwise it doesn't not perform up to specs.

No power connector, 75W max from the PCIe slot.

Here's a review from a week ago:

I would say the a380 is comparable to a Rx 6400 or gtx 1650. It is important to pick later comparisons of the a380 because driver support keeps improving. This video is from 5 months ago.

Is this a good card for a two monitor setup? I don't game, just need a discrete GPU since my processor doesn't have i-gpu (5950x).
Yes. It's more than adequate for a dual monitor setup.

Guys, if you don't game, get the quadro p400 on eBay. $40 bucks, supports 3 monitors.

Actually most Z370 boards with 8th gen or newer CPU's now support rebar.

I've purchased two of these now and they're fantastic. I know most people aren't fans of the arc software overlay but I really like how you can have it handle your webcam and dynamically keep you centered. I don't game though.
