Shares rank 32 of 42 graphics cards by recommenders
People recommend the B60 for lots of VRAM per dollar, far cheaper than a 5090 for running local models. Critics agree its launch was poor and supply has been scarce.

Poor launch and scarce supply
“The Intel Arc B60 probably would have made a splash if they had actually produced any of the damn things.”
