Since these cards have no hardware support for anything before DX12, they use a translation layer/wrapper for everything outside of DX12 and Vulkan. That means compatibility for older games is imperfect. They have done a lot to improve it, but in my testing I found a decent amount of issues when testing with a B580.
Also, the vast majority of people can ignore this part, but if you happen to be a Linux gamer, be aware that gaming performance/compatibility on Linux is quite bad.

It is a truly broken market when an entry level card from 4 years ago is increasing in price. sigh

But the intel cards have been getting better. Just need to stay on top of driver updates.

That said, overall it's been a solid 1440 card and newer games run great. But yeah, spend the extra for the 580 vs 570 for the RAM increase.
