Downsides that I've seen so far: It's not a gaming card, it just isn't. The fan turns on and off a lot, and if you have good hearing, it can get a little annoying (but it is fixable with a quick change in the fan settings). You need Resizable Bar. Without it, I saw about a 30% drop in encoding fps.
All in all, at this price? Good deal for those that want an encoder card or anything better than an iGPU.
EDIT: I somehow thought 3 displays. It does in fact support 4.

Looks like youre correct about the ASRock version requiring the 8pin power. Ill be able to confirm for myself tomorrow when the ASRock arrives.
Can I ask what monitors you run and what your idle power draw is? Supposedly dual monitors over 1080p cannot enter low power mode at idle. This may not be a big deal on the a380, but is certainly a power drain on the a750. Seems strange to me since a single 4k monitor has more pixels than dual 1440p monitors, yet only the former can drop to low power mode per intels docs.

At $99 this is a great way to get into hardware transcoding on your media server.

I can attest to the same as well. I snagged Asrock a380 low profile several months ago for $99 and use it for hardware transcoding on a Dell OptiPlex 7020 used as Plex server. It works great and keeps cpu free from transcoding work

This GPU is incredibly hit and miss. Best in class for video encoding/decoding. But graphics performance is a bit of a mess. Some tasks it will kill its competitors, and others it fails horribly. I suspect that some graphics APIs, especially legacy ones, are being software emulated.
Resizeable BAR helps, but it's not a deal breaker. And Acer are dicks. There is no reason that they cannot enable it on their newer PCs. Same with enabling the integrated GPU while also running the discrete GPU.
But monitor compatibility is the big sticking point. I have an older HP 2311gt that I keep because it does passive 3D. And it will not properly drive that display on start up. If I hot swap or restart the driver, it will work. Just not on boot. I provided Intel with the EDID for the device, and their response was "we don't care". So, heads up there if you are running older display devices.
Still a solid GPU at the $99 price point. And I hope Intel doesn't drop their GPU lineup in some "AI is the new bubble" fashion. I suspect they could be real competitors a generation or two from now.

I got some cheap 32" Samsung monitors from Costco. Only got two of them, and they only do 1080p. They do idle, and the computer (12400) seems to sip energy when its not in use, so I leave it on a lot.
