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

Verdict — RTX 4070

One of the most efficient cards ever made — sips power, runs cool. VRAM is the weak point but adequate for most 1440p use. Used market often prices it well against a new 5060 Ti.

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.
