Exceedingly capable homelab streaming and remote rendering card.
Purchased for a homelab rack server running Linux and Plex and some other tools. Highly recommend for a lower cost modern high performance card, it isn't power hungry, and is very stable while it handles transcoding for multiple streams. The only downside I found was that HDMI output for large resolutions was highly limited due to the output path being native for display port and the HDMI bridge being lower speed; my display was just above the capability of the HDMI output, so I had to switch to the HDMI output from the CPU chipset.

Great for transcoding.
No much to write about the card. Works as intended. I do not think it needs the six pin in terms of draw, but is required for it to work. Would have been nice just to be powered off the PCI slot. Anyways, works fine with Proxmox (need to hack out IO commands for pass through - many guides out there) and works well with Plex. Great low cost, low power solution for transcoding needs.

Great Media Encoding Transcoding GPU
I like this GPU for its media handling capabilities. It can encode, decode or transcode AV1 along with other codecs rapidly which was my primary reason for getting the A380. The 3D performance isn't award winning when I tried gaming with it, but lighter lower requirement or low graphic gaming worked really well. It's not a Cyberpunk 2077 GPU unless you like lower FPS gaming, just letting people know. Stability is much better considering Intel has spend a lot of time improving the drivers over the years. I'm happy about that. It does what I need it to do quite well, so it's a great lower powered GPU with a good value attached to it that I would recommend. Power consumption is pretty good, however the one thing I didn't like is the above average idle power consumption. That's the only issue I had with it and is why I reduced 1 star from my review. I even did all of the recommend adjustments that works for some, but it didn't do anything for me unfortunately.

Replacing hardware no longer support in Linux Kernel
Shipped out fast and received earlier than expected. Used it to replace a Nvidia 1040Ti in my TrueNAS/Plex server since the card was no longer supported while the A380 was. No issues since making the change.

No HDMI prior to kernel loading if rebar/above 4g enabled
Purchased this to use for hardware encoding/decoding and object detection using the OpenVino framework in Frigate. Card probably works fine, but there's no signal on the HDMI port prior to the kernel loading when rebar/above 4G decoding are enabled, which makes troubleshooting problematic with a KVM over IP that uses HDMI. Very disappointed.

Outstanding value.
I don't think any card comes close to this. For the value for just over $100, you're getting a very usable, playable gaming card. I had a older. R270. This runs circles around it.

3 monitors work, but 4 monitors don't.
Why make so many display ports if they don't work and glitch when you connect all the monitors? Let the manufacturer install as many ports as it can handle. This card doesn't work with the maximum number of monitors; it simply switches off via its ports. But for simple tasks, I think it's a good card.

A Plex transcoding beast.
Works awesome for my PLEX server. Have had 6x concurrent 4k transcodes with HDR mapping no problem.

Used for transcoding in unraid. Really quiet and capable little card.

I like this video card a lot. I'm not a gamer, so I cannot judge how this card performs while playing games. I'm a graphic designer and I create images using Adobe software. This ARC A380 card does its job very well. Combining this with a motherboard that supports resizable BAR and installing the latest drivers, results in a very smooth experience, despite its rather modest specifications. I have another computer with a nvidia RTX with more or less same specifications, which operates at the same speed, but costs twice as much. For content creating, the ARC A380 does the job at an unbeatable price. And it's very quiet.

Die ITX-Grafikkarte kommt hier nicht für das rendern von Realtime-Grafik zum Einsatz, eher für den Einsatz von Intel Quick-Sync für das Livestreaming. 6GB Grafikspeicher? Egal! Wieviele FPS im Benchmark? Egal! Interessiert mich alles überhaupt nicht. Per Quick-Sync rendert die Karte in hervorragender Qualität einen Livestrem bis 1080p. Zukunftssicher dank AV1 Hardware-Encoding. Vorteile: ✔ kleines Format mit 2Slot breite 🗜 ✔ geringer Stromverbrauch von 115Watt laut Hersteller 🔌 ✔ Quicksync und AV1 Hardware-Encoding 📡 ✔ kleiner Preis 💰 ✔ regelmäßiger Treibersupport für noch mehr Leistung durch Optimierung 🚀 Nachteile: ♦ Intels erste Generatio dedizierter Grafikkarten ♦ nicht genug Rohleistung für generellen Spielbetrieb ♦ mir fällt nichts weiter ein

旧世代の資産を活用してIntel QSVでエンコードしたい!という人向けの、ハードウェアエンコーダーとしての評価です。 良い点: ・FHD(MPEG2)の動画4本をFHD(HEVC)に同時にエンコードさせても実用的な速度が出る(エンコードに使うソフトの設定にもよる。当方では4スレッド同時エンコードで平均して1スレッドあたり60FPS程度)。 ※GeForceだとGeForce GTX1630以上で2スレッドまで(ということになっている)、上位機種のRTXだと無制限(らしい)。Radeonは画質がもうちょっと良くならないと比較対象として適当かどうか疑問の余地がある。 ・Resizable BARに非対応な世代のCPU/プラットフォームでも動くことは動く(※SandyBridge Xeon E5-2690で動作確認)。 ※一応Intel公式サイトでもResizable BARの対応は必須要件ではないことになっている。 悪い点: ビデオカードとして見るなら性能に比して価格が高止まりしていると言える。
