The Intel Arc A380 desktop GPU seems not as good at gaming as it is in benchmarks

The Intel Arc A380 graphics card for desktops is widely available in China. The RX 6500 XT from AMD and the GTX 1650 from NVIDIA are both better. In DirectX 11 tests, the A380 is 22 to 26 percent slower than its AMD counterpart, in DirectX 12 tests, it is 9 percent.

Independent media's real-world gaming benchmarks of the cards paint a totally different picture than synthetic benchmarks. The entry-level mainstream graphics card outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT and RX 6400 by a significant margin in 3DMark Port Royal and Time Spy.

However, gaming paints a different picture. If you check the benchmarks League of Legends, PUBG, GTA V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Forza Horizon 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 in order reveal that the A380 performs 22–26 percent slower than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 and Radeon RX 6400 in the first three DirectX 11 tests. The discrepancy narrows in DirectX 12 titles like SoTR and Forza 5, where it's around 10% slower. The card performs well in RDR 2, which employs Vulkan. It is 7% slower than the GTX 1650 and 9% slower than the RX 6400 in that game.
