Earlier today, we covered Nvidia"s RTX 5070 Ti deal, which was available for a while at its MSRP of $750, making it a rare sight. The deal has unfortunately expired and those who didn"t get a chance to buy it essentially missed out on one of the best 1440p and 4K gaming cards.
If you are a 1080p gamer though and only want to spend around $200, then Intel has got your back as one of its Arc B570 GPUs is currently selling at just $200 making it a excellent buy (purchase link under the specs table down below). The model in question is a Sparkle Guardian OC model.
The B570 is competitive with Nvidia RTX 4060 and AMD RX 7600, but it comes with 10GB of VRAM at this price making it a no-brainer if VRAM is one of your big concerns.
The Guardian OC design uses a dual-fan cooling system comprising what Sparkle refers to as TORN Cooling 2.0, which should keep the card cool and quiet. The reinforced metal backplate on the model adds rigidity, which is especially useful against sagging as GPU sag can be a real issue. The subtle breathing light effect gives the Sparkle a touch of style without overwhelming the build with RGB.
