Acer is once again linking arms with Intel for their new Nitro Arc B-Series graphics cards. Two cards have been announced so far: the Nitro Intel Arc B570 OC 10 GB and Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12 GB. The target audience for these cards isn't just PC tinkerers looking for a mid-range upgrade, but also content creators who need their resource-hungry video editing suite to quickly chew through rendering their latest round of reels.
According to a news post from Acer, the cards in question will feature, "Xe2 architecture with up to 20 cores, clock speeds of up to 2,740 MHz, plus Acer’s advanced FrostBlade thermal system for optimal cooling." While these cards are said to offer high framerates at a still very respectable 1440p, Acer also claims "stunning 8K visuals." Which, ah…okay, sure, gaming at 8K is probably possible, but maybe not the most pleasant experience for anything more demanding than another cheeky run of Balatro.
