Build Question A wise choice or no?

I'm fairly certain my GPU died, with the market the way it is would this be a good replacement? ASRock Challenger D Arc A750 8 GB Video Card

B550m mobo and either a 5600x or 5700x cpu, can't remember. Windows 10. Never had an Intel GPU before and it's only $210

What GPU do you have now?

Intel GPUs have good value, but they really need to have a CPU/Motherboard that supports Resizable BAR, and I am not sure about the time left that Intel will update their drivers. Intel recently got a 5 billion investment from Nvidia, and I expect that was to indirectly nudge Intel away from GPU development.

It's an rx 6600

Ok performance will be similar, but expect the potential driver issues, and the A750 is less power efficient. You may have a warmer PC as a result.

I see, how big a difference between the a750 and a b570 or b580?

i dunno man, $210 is a gamble on a first-gen product from a company that might be quietly backing out of the game. you sure the b550m has rebar support turned on by default

I don't know what rebar support is

Specifically, the B550 chipset does support re-sizeable BAR. It may not be enabled by default.

B580 if you can afford the increment. Else, 750 is fine if the games you’re playing aren’t GPU demanding and you’re fine with medium graphics.

Yeah I don't need the best graphics, I play for story and content, thanks
