This is one of the first modern Intel discrete video cards. It’s the Intel Iris Xe DG1 GPU, complete with its own memory, PCB, and cooler. We’re benchmarking Intel’s GPU in games.

This piece is intended largely to serve as an introduction to Intel’s architecture and naming. If you’re confused about all of Intel’s various Iris and Xe products, like Xe HPG, HPC, et al., then hopefully this will help explain the differences. All of the architectural information will remain relevant to Intel’s DG2 product launches later. As for benchmarks, we’re looking at gaming performance as compared to the likes of the AMD R5 5600G, R7 5700G, and NVIDIA GT 1030 GDDR5 and DDR4 video cards. Intel’s Iris Xe discrete card is a small business solution with some gaming capabilities, although Intel is more heavily marketing it for things like light-ish video editing and “content creation” or for acceleration on encode/decode tasks, as the GT 1030 lacks NVENC for those. We’ll look at benchmarks for those more in a future piece. For now, these benchmarks of Intel’s GPU set the stage for what’s to come later.

So its under-powered GT 1030 DDR5, i was hoping intel to bring down the prices of the current GPU's to 25-30% and more price slash on the 2nd hand market. There are 2 more card releases after this. Intel don't disappoint us and mass produce cards and flood the market to the point Miners have more than enough of them to have gamers have their turn, lol.
Just like everything else american…..
Intel card that shows Asus logo at pins lololol
47 " MAGICAL TILES "
MEANING ITS REALLY NOT THERE
FInally the Intel 740 got a worthy successor
Gt1030 😂🤣😂
No one should buy the Xe DG1 discrete GPU. It comes out and can barely run any games except at low settings. Therefore it is almost obsolete at launch. The later versions DG2 or DG4 would be fine to buy.
OMG, That opening scene was great.
Ughhh. I'm not seeing how this tech scales up to be competitive across more markets. Seems like another Intel marginal improvement repackaged for a vertical market that no one really cares about, and certainly not the Gamers Nexus suscribers. For Intel right now, a hardfought match-up to a 1030 seems a galaxy away from catching up anywhere close to say, a 3060. I would bet that "Q1 2022" will be a kicked-can and supply chain issues will be blamed. And would also bet Intel never does much better than 1030 performance without a huge cost penalty, which makes it moot.
I5⏰4460 GPU!
#4:48 is this ASUS card ?
I wonder how much of the performance is reliant on driver and game optimizations for graphics..
I used one and it completly sucks
Intel what the fuck
THIS IS WHY THERES A SHORTAGE
i hope they keep the Blue and silver look. be a very nice change since most videocards are just black
For a moment there I thought the Intel DG1 was that beefy monster Steve took off the table. Steve, you so sneaky!
Should have called it Wambo cache.
Intel can capture the half of the gaming market share, if and only if it blocks at hardware level the mining for it's cards.
i don't know where you get this one-slot version, but on tech power up all versions looks dual slot.
I tested the Intel iRES Xe on some VR games and software. Needless to say I had some strange outcomes and a lot of fails!
Licking mining rig insidiously
Hey I mean, its an alternative. I only casually game on older games and Cant justify a new graphics card cost wise if im not going to use it regularly. Just glad theres something else on the market to be honest.
these fanless gpu looks sexy
14:28 uuuh this would be a great Episode. SG1 goes through the gate and comes out in a world, where MacGyver is actually a reality. 🍿
Hi!! Did anyone try to use it in real life pc's? I'm strugling to just make it work after restarts…
I end up with a locked pc, without keyboard, no image, and no beeps of error. If shut down the entire thing, and le it rest, maybe will work again. Right now, i hate these thing!!
No funciona !!!
Is not compatible with CSM , SSD or M2… !!!at leat on Asus B460M A R2.0
They missed out on calling it Tango Cache
* laughs in actual intel discrete gpu *
Can the gpu bios be updated to work with other chipsets for boot gpu (obviously it works as a secondary gpu after boot)
i may buy a prebuilt with it i like it even thoiuught it kinda sucks
In laptop form, this feels a tad better than a 1030. I play Rocket League (with all the bells and whistles), and on an i5 11gen. It is locked at 60 frames a second, as that's what the built-in screen can handle. Beautiful! A $300 laptop can now be used to play some good games on the go. Laptops with this chip would make a good starter computer for a kid.
How can I get the DG1 graphics drive?
I know, I know, but still, driver update to get 2 monitors to idle with low power consumption is why u don’t buy an Arc yet. How this hit the market is a mystery….It’s cheap, but it’s not like that you can use it as a normal gpu…l
Just to reiterate: Iris Xe EU structure is a little bit different from Gen11 EUs, but we used a mix of both block diagrams in this piece. Just check the image title when viewing to know if it's Xe or Gen11. 10:11 should be an XeLP image.
