Getting an Intel Arc A380 GPU has proven to be no small feat, with team blue’s card only being available in China.

Costing $139.99 USD, this puts the pixel pusher in direct competition with the likes of the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650, a far cry from the best graphics card on the market today.
