Upgraded my gtx 1070 to Intel b580, great card, no regrets, plays all my old games flawlessly. Playing all battlefield games as well as battlefield 6. I used to play a lot! But now family takes priority. It's a good budget card.
For gaming purposes, the big issue potential buyers need to be aware of is compatibility.
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.
This is a good price. If your use is case is gaming though, I have to wonder if it wouldn't be better to buy used. For example, an RTX 3060 12GB would have roughly the same performance, have more VRAM, have full x16 connection and be compatible with more games. On the other hand, it would be several years older so there are trade-offs.

Can you find a 3060 for $200? Abused card and no warranty maybe.
Not to mention those are gimped 8GB versions. I would go for this if I were looking for a budget card and it wouldn't hurt to send some GPU business Intel's way. It will only be to gamers' benefit if they become a significant player in this market.

You could a few weeks ago. Have the 3060 prices jumped up since then?
It is a truly broken market when an entry level card from 4 years ago is increasing in price. sigh

As an owner of a B580, this is a valid point. I've not dug into it, but I have certainly found some older games that have had issues. Oh, and newer as well like Starfield.
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.

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