Not enough verified runs yet for a fair pool verdict — averages appear once each side has at least five.

Verdict — RTX 3060

Aged surprisingly well because of that VRAM. Cheap on the used market and still competent for 1080p. Local LLM/Stable Diffusion crowd loves it for the VRAM/price ratio.

Verdict — Arc A770

Historic card as Intel's dGPU debut. The 16 GB VRAM is generous but the driver overhead penalizes older APIs. The Arc B series makes it a hard sell new; used it can be interesting.
