Apparently, a redditor was capable of get his arms on a gross sales web page for Intel’s Arc A580, a graphics card not but in the marketplace, however already seen in benchmarks. However, some issues don’t add up. Contacted by our colleagues, the vendor has not given any signal of life.
Arc A580: a rip-off on Aliexpress?
If we consult with the advert, we discover a card with an 8 GB reminiscence capability and a 256-bit bus – to date, so good. However, the picture on the advert is improper, because it’s an Arc A770 Limited Edition. What actually units us off, nonetheless, is the promoting value, which is totally off the mark. At $335.99, the cardboard is dearer than an A750, which sells for €250 in France. What’s extra, they don’t hesitate to promote an Arc A310 with 8 GB of VRAM when the official card runs at 4 GB.
Another aspect to have in mind is the vendor’s critiques, that are clearly combined. Clearly, the merchandise are costly and bought in poor situation. Several returns regarding graphics playing cards point out soiled and generally defective GPUs… Most most likely mining rejects. Not to say the seller’s poor communication.
In quick, it’s onerous to take such an announcement significantly.
