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 B580
Intel finally got graphics right. The B580 is genuinely competitive on price/performance and 12 GB helps it age. Drivers are much improved but occasional oddity remains.
