My wife still used a GTX 1650 Super from 2020 back when I was happy to find any dGPU for her to game a bit and to use Adobe CC. Now in 2025 with 1440p the 1650 Super struggled quite a bit, especially with the low amount of VRAM. I was tracking a lot of GPUs but they were all too pricey. Even the used market in the EU often is ridiculous.

Now with the Intel promo for Battlefield 6 and Assassin's Creed: Shadows, she jumped ship and went for the B580. I expected a lot of troubles, weird issues or outright bugs. But it couldn't have gone smoother.

I swapped the GPU, ran DDU, installed Intel's drivers and it runs perfectly fine. The option to have the drivers updated and installed automatically is very nice (she barely ever updated NVIDIA drivers due to never interacting with the NVIDIA app) and her few games like Sims 4 and Prehistoric Kingdom run fine now. Before, the latter ran at 18-20 fps no matter which quality setting. Now 40-50 fps maxed out at 1440p. Sure, no steady 60 fps but she is not the type that is bothered by this and also the AMD Ryzen 3600 CPU is probably the bottleneck now.

The only two things that are very important:

• Enable Re-Bar (Intel's software even mentions it dozens of times)
• Enable L1 ASPM to reduce idle power usage from 20-30W to 4-8W

Even on a PCIe 3.0 x16 motherboard (the B580 only is x8) it runs fine.

The only problem is that you read a lot of horror stories about Intel's GPUs as it probably was quite bad 1-2 years ago. Nowadays, Intel is just as good with its drivers as the competition.

The B580 was € 250 (ASRock due to the Intel reference one having idle fan issues apparently) and some games are worth €40-60 depending on what you pick. Around € 200 for this GPU is an insane deal.

Don't forget to redeem the software if you're eligible: https://softwareoffer.intel.com/Promo/Holiday2025 (I looked everywhere whether I can buy it at any store but apparently many resellers are included and you can redeem it on this website. This information could've prevented a 30 minute web research lol)

Hey Linus and LTT Crew,

LTT has done videos about almost everything, but I think it's time for more plane content!

You have talked about Gamer Plane a lot on the WAN show. Why don't we make it happen? Come to the airport and play some games in the cockpit on the screens.

I'd love to give you a behind-the-scenes tour of a commercial airport, with both modern and older aircraft to show LTT the incredible tech that keeps these machines flying.

We're talking floppy disks, databases, fiber optics, LAN networks, firewalls, servers, water cooling, and so much more! Basically, it's like walking through decades of tech history. And all inside airplanes!

You
