I've just seen HUBs video on this. Damn. I was looking forward to purchasing the B580 but now I am second guessing.

Wait for their re-review with R5 5600. But looking at where it is going, doesn't look good for B580. Heck, a used 3060Ti or 6700XT for 16-17k is a much better choice easily. You can start looking at those now.

I really had the urge to buy an Arc card to specifically test on an old system with ReBarUEFI patches. However 25-27k is a bit too much for mere curiosity.

Both the videos on HUB and HC have a few people requesting to do tests on older hardware with it but rebar uefi is plain nightmare for the average joe. You have to recompile parts of your bios by adding code which is missing for large memory addressing.

but dont you know that ARC adds stress on CPU and it doesnt have the same performance on older procs
:D

Theoretically speaking, it can be attributed to constant microcode nerfs. The spectre and meltdown significantly reduced the io capability of the older cpus (even more brutal on older gens). Phoronix did testing on the io part and it was as high as 40% on coffeelake (database test I think). Since gaming has negligible impact nobody does in depth testing. Hence my morbid curiosity on it. Ask anyone with an overclock on the 6000 x99 series how bad a microcode update is for them.

Or maybe it really is some kind of limitation either way would be interesting to see for my own, again as I said morbid curiosity ;)
