    Whoever only has at most 359 quid to spend on a GPU, if you factor conversion rates and VAT. That's a ridiculous amount of money for a 60 class GPU, especially one with only 8GB VRAM, but there isn't much choice going around for anyone that remotely cares about PC gaming.

    Intel: "Thank you nvidia for making ARC B580 look even better as the entry level card".

    You can get a 3080 for that, which at least has 10gb, or a 7800xt with 16gb.

    I realised I needed to shuffle a few things around in the room and that triggered... "Spring Cleaning" :eek:

    I find that penetrating oil and scotchbrite works a treat when cleaning my springs.

    If the 5060 is similarly small, it looks like that PCB real estate could be rearranged to make a low profile variant.

    There is a Gigabyte 5060 LP mentioned in the article and a link to the product page here.

    It would be nice if there was a Ti version as well though.

    As much as I like the idea of that, I think the power draw might kill it as a viable LP product.
