Honestly kind of considering a battlemage GPU for an upcoming build. I certainly won’t go with nvidia but for what I actually need, the intels are kinda acceptable anymore.

If you can get the B580 for like $250 or close to it, it's good, but otherwise there are better options. The 9060XT 8GB is 20-25% better, but you have to know, if 8GB of VRAM are sufficient. Otherwise, something used might be the way to go.

I was looking a for more VRAM than 8 gigs. The 9060XT cards are compelling but the encoders are shit on AMD, especially compared to Intel. Intel may get SR-IOV in battlemage eventually whereas AMD never will get it in the consumer cards. The prices are better with Intel.

I want a server that can run jellyfin, frigate, and sunshine and the B580 seems like a better fit l for that.

I was avoiding these cards, but the driver base appears to be improving.
