ASRock Intel Arc A380 Low Profile 6GB GDDR6 96-bit DisplayPort HDMI 0dB Silent Cooling 8K 7680 x 4320 Graphics Card PCI Express4.0 Dual Fan

Using this for 4K HDR transcoding. Works no problem in a Linux machine, and is quiet.

Built up a modern office PC and found a really nice deal on an F skew CPU. This particular position is using an Ultrawide monitor and the low profile (aged) R7 card I slotted for the position could not resolve the resolution correctly. Needed a good low cost option and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly. I was a bit concerned with Intel and the development of their drivers since release. If you have been on the fence about its maturity, it seems that there has been a lot of catch up and the card works flawlessly for the resolution desired alongside some simple gaming/goofing off. The card is small enough that it just sort of hides under the CPU cooler. It is very quiet and have had no manner of issues with it in relation to the resolution which appears to have been an issue with some of the earlier driver releases. For its use case it seems to be a very decent card and so far would absolutely recommend for office work, viewing media, perhaps even some light gaming.

After I found out that my integrated GPU was just not going to be good enough, for games especially, I decided that getting a dedicated GPU was going to be necessary. The Asrock Intel Arc A380 Low Profile GPU cost was ultimately the deciding factor despite the A580 only being a few dollars more. Normally installing GPUs has never been a struggle for me but this GPU was the exception. Despite the low profile, I had some trouble fitting it near my Power Supply a place where I had added a temporary GPU before. Not going to get into details but this lead to some mistakes being made. My initial test of the GPU lead to another big mistake. Reading the box the Intel Arc GPU's states a minimum requirement of a "10th generation Intel CPUs" was needed. This was not true. I have a 9th gen intel CPU(i9-9900K) and what the motherboard has to support is REBAR as this is something that Arc GPUs are reliant on. Upgrading my motherboards bios firmware(msi mpg z390m gaming edge ac) allowed me to enable REBAR. After getting this feature, I then discovered that in order to use this feature, it requires a UEFI boot and, you guessed it, my boot was a CSM. Lucky for me, there was a way to change to UEFI without having to do a clean install and so the nightmare of initially setting this card up was over. One of the first tests I did with the card was overloading my Plex server, and it definitely is a big improvement over my i9-9900K. I was able to transcode at least 3 movies from different devices until the 4th device I tried came up with an error. Still it was amazing to see that it could handle that many transcodes at once if needed. Next up I did some game emulation testing. I found that with 5th generation consoles like the PlayStation, you can upscale to 4K and I even used 8X MSAA and it did great. With 6th generation(PS2,Xbox,etc..) 4K was possible with certain games but I felt that 1440p had better performance and 2X MSAA may be okay for certain games. With 7th generation(PS3, Wii U,etc..), 1080p was a good as it seems you are going to get. Now with all that being said, it wasn't a perfect experience. Most of the emulation that I used to get these upscales was with the Vulkan API but other emulators like OpenGL, and Direct X had some big performance issues. When trying out some 7th and 8th generation PC games, it only confirmed further that is had trouble with the two APIs. I thought I would at least be able to get 1440p and found myself dropping to 1080p to get 60fps on games so that was definitely disappointing. I also tried using their recording feature and found that it was just to great of a hit to performance to have any sort of use especially if you are someone who likes to record game benchmarks with the RTSS overlay. Finally, I tried rendering a video I edited a while back in Vegas Pro 21.0 using the Intel Quick Sync(QSV) feature and it, to my recollection, rendered out...maybe, 25s behind the actual time of the video itself which is super impressive and something I wasn't expecting. As an all around budget GPU, the A380 definitely was worth the price but the issues with the OpenGL and Direct X APIs make me glad I didn't pay more for a higher ARC GPU. I'm aware that they've gradually improved performance for these APIs over time and I'm hopeful that it is going to continue but I definitely can't recommend you purchase this GPU if you're looking to create a budget gaming PC specifically.

Out of this box this card isn't ready to go for gaming, it's just not. This card is 100% powered by the PCIE slot and it is handicapped with a 45w power limit. There is little performance to gain by using ARC's proprietary control panel because the card already hits 45w on stock settings. Whenever you increase the clock speed it's going to hit that 45w limit and downclock. It's obviously power limited. You can unlock the power on this card to hit a maximum of 75w, and when you do so it flies. Make sure resizable bar is on otherwise you should NOT buy this card. Provided the power limit is unlocked and reBAR is on, you can overclock this card for serious gains. I gained over 1000 points on my timespy score by unlocking the power and overclocking the core by 40% beating the average Timespy score for all a380's by 300 points. So you absolutely can get this little low-profile card competing with full-slot a380's easily. I decided to take things further and upgrade the thermal conductivity with better vram pads and ptm7950 on the core. This allows me to push the card harder and keep the temperature around 80c. After this card is tuned up, it's amazing what it can do. I'm playing plenty of games in 4k Low settings with Xess or FSR on quality mode. That shouldn't be possible but it is. This card is great, just do some googling and be ready to take a day to tune it up.

So I picked this up because I had an old Dell Precision 3240 Compact laying around. This is after having picked up the Arc 380 Genie with the same intention. The Genie (NOT this card) had an issue with the stock heat sink hitting components of the MoBo so you couldn't install it. This review is of the ASRock Intel Arc 380 Low Profile This GPU moves the heat sink back a little and just enough that if you raise one end of the GPU riser card up, you can slide this card in, push the riser back into place and still close the case without the interference that the Arc380 Genie had. I had never used a full x16 in an x8 slot before, but the system handled it just fine. The 4.0 PCIe card works just fine in it even though the onboard slot is a PCIe 3.0 The card isn't performing at it's best due to 2 factors, but it's still miles ahead of the stock integrated card. (PCIe 3.0 instead of it's capable 4.0 and then also using an x8 slot instead of an x16 slot). This isn't going to get you Top End graphics in today's games, but it should run about as well as a Laptop on standard settings. Given the price tag at about $120, I'd call that a worth it investment for the rig I had, i7 with 32gb of RAM, this GPU rounds the system out into a decent entry level gaming rig as of 2024. You won't be able to push VR through it, but if you had the money for VR, you're likely not looking at this kind of a card anyway.

I purchased 2 of these of my sons identical computers they went in with no issues. Downloaded the software/drivers and seemed to work good. graphics look good and performance seemed fine for being a SFF unit. Now with the Bad (Updated) (Both Graphics cards even after having one replaced are both having MAJOR video issues on 1 of the 2 screens connected and the only way to stop it is to turn the computer off and back on. I have tried everything they wanted me to in the trouble shooting and no resolve! these are just past the return window so we are now stuck with these unfortunately!) another thing is that they want you to use the computer manufactures driver's over there own so now you are at the mercy of the computer manufacture to keep this updated. it also makes you go into your bios to change settings which was ok for me but for an average user they may mess something up or not understand what to do. one of the cards keeps screen glitching multiple times a day. I have reseated it and still no resolve I also put it into my other sons pc that hasn't had problems and it still messed up. I now have asked for a replacement from amazon and will update this once the new card has been used to see if the issue is resolved (revised it did not work and now both computers graphics cards have issues). there are still many applications and games that will not work good or work at all with this card due to how new it is (hoping in near future there will be support) You also do not have any fan control of this graphics card and for what i have found they are not planning on letting the user have that control One final note The words OC Edition does not mean Over Clocked! I have asked the manufacture what they mean by it and they stated it is not Overclocked it is just the edition of the card like version. Very deceiving. Update 7/30/24 Still l having issues even with newest updates. These Cards are very poor constructed and should have never made it past Quality Control to be sold!!

This may be a very good card for the right application, but I did not get to try it. I was really looking forward to installing this in my SFF media server. Bought it because it was low profile and did not require any added power connectors. However, because of its thickness It still would not squeeze into the space in this little Dell. I shipped it back and am waiting on my refund. (I'll follow up if I have any issues with that) I only gave it 3 stars, because the I felt the description on a "Low Profile" graphics card should specifically draw attention to the thickness since anyone buying one clearly has space limitations.

I used this as a low-power replacement for the 2070 in my Jellyfin server. Draws next to no power at idle, even during transcoding it only sips power. I run Jellyfin in Docker on Ubuntu. The downside with these lower end cards is that you'll probably run out of VRAM before you run out of compute. I went with the a380 as opposed to the a310 for the extra VRAM so I can support more concurrent streams, however the entire A-series lineup uses the same transcoding engine so the actual transcoding performance you'll get will be the same across the board. I was able to transcode 4K HDR10 HEVC to 4K SDR (tone mapping) AV1 at 250fps, screenshot included. Absolute powerhouse for adding solid transcoding to an older system at an affordable price.

Using this for a Tdarr node for my Plex server, as well as one in my Plex server. The Tdarr node reencodes media faster than my 4080. And my Plex server easily manages 8+ streams without issue. All while not needing any additional power connectors. Probably sucks for anything else. But for AV1 work it goes hard.

Very good and reliable GPU, especially for Video Transcoding.

I got this mainly for AV1 encoding and I'm well pleased with the results , I went from encoding speeds of 35fps to over 500fps and it only takes 4 minutes to encode a movie in HD , you need to play with the settings as the drivers are still not there yet and the default settings give you large files , so I've found using Bitrate settings give you a better result with smaller files , saves you a lot of time and electricy
