Sparkle Intel Arc A310 ECO, 4GB GDDR6, 50W TBP, Short Bracket is Included, Low-Profile, Single Fan, Single Slot, HDMI x1, Mini DisplayPort x2, SA310C-4G

This is a great little GPU. Want a power efficient system that will still let you game a little bit? Extremely portable pc with a dedicated GPU? Server and you just need to see the screen sometimes? A bit overkill, but this will do it. Where this card really shines is for media servers or a dedicated streaming pc. My machine is both, and usd two of these for a time! You generally want low power use and low price, and the encoding capabilities of this little gpu are absolutely stellar. I have used it to game, I have used it to stream, and now I am building an incredibly small itx HTPC which I also intend to also use for some easy-to-run games to play with my family on or TV (stuff like golf with friends, the lego games, etc.) I have two of the a310 models, and there have been so many situations and builds which these have been very helpful with. Noise levels were a concern when reading the reviews of others, and they aren't as good as they could be, but honestly it is just not that bad IMO. I noticed it after opening the case up and trying to run some stress tests and heavier (for this gpu) games and what not. When I put the class panel back on my case, I completely forget about the noise. TLDR; This is not a gaming card, but it'll generally work on low settings in a pinch, and is great for trouble shooting and experimenting. This is a god tier little media server GPU though. Not the quietest when under heavy load, but could be worse.

Small, compact, looks great, and works great. its a 1/2 slot size so it was perfect for my jellyfin server. it transcodes pretty well and fast and at 4k. have had many different streamers off its hardware transcode and it does good. its quiet, and doesnt run hot even under load. 10/10 would recommend for any workstation or home work station.

The software is good, I have been playing with this graphics card without problems for 4 months already, and it is working flawlessly, it has good performance, and the 10GB or VRAM help a lot, with 1440p.

Nothing bad about it a good upgrade if you are updating from the Nvidia 1000 and 2000 series card I upgrade from a 1080 ti and it 100x better performance and i can play almost every game at high setting and it does a good job with Ai and Intel Ai playground work great as well I also noticed it well built and easy to install and work with my gpu holder even better than the 1080 ti

(Review written in late 2025) If you’re new to PC building and trying to find a good graphics card, this is not for you. If you are looking for a good entry-level gaming GPU, you should check out the Arc B580 instead. So why did I buy an Arc A310? The Arc A310 is about the cheapest modern dedicated graphics card you can buy. AMD and Nvidia don’t offer new GPUs in the $100 range, so your only option is to buy used GPUs which are almost at their end of support. By comparison, Intel Arc graphics drivers offer much better long-term support than similarly priced competitors. The Arc A310 makes sense for my use case, as I was rebuilding a used PC without integrated graphics on the CPU. Purchasing this was cheaper than buying a new CPU, and results in greater performance than using integrated graphics. I can playback 4K media without issue. Another niche use case where this product may be practical is a secondary GPU dedicated to encoding live streams in a system with a high-end GPU for gaming. But don’t be fooled, the performance is not good enough for gaming. You can maybe play some lower end games like Minecraft and Counter Strike 2 at 1080p, but this GPU will struggle to run games with modern high-end graphics. If you want cheap gaming performance, the Arc B580 is the far better choice. This product is relatively easy to install. Its low power consumption means it can be powered directly through the PCIe slot on your motherboard without need for external power connectors from the PSU. It’s as close to plug-and-play as it gets. The 4 full-size HDMI ports on the back also offer convenience for multi-display configurations, and was my primary reason for buying the A310 Omni over the A310 Eco. Overall, I am happy with this product and I hope Intel continues to invest in their dedicated Arc graphics. The A310 is not the GPU for everyone, but it occupies its niche market quite well.

Amazing price, no extra PCIe power needed. Quiet and very powerful for transcoding and especially AV1

I am using this for encoding/transcoding in Jellyfin/Plex and it works great! Way better than an old nvidia gpu and surprisingly cheap for how much it can do. Just barely a dual slot card so fits pretty much anywhere. Card is built fine, runs cool and the fan only kicks in under heavy load which is nice for keeping the noise down. I don’t actually ever hear the card as my case fans are louder overall. Tested with it working in TrueNAS, Debian, and Windows. No issues on Linux, but Windows was wonky until I got drivers as the generic drivers are trash, but that’s just a Windows thing.

Single slot, low power, quiet. Does AV1 encoding in JellyFin. Exactly what I needed.

Muy buena gráfica , potente y con 12gb

La scheda è ottima, ben costruita silenziosa. Testata su Windows va una bomba mentre su Debian e Linux Mint ho trovato problemi di performance per cui l'ho dovuta rendere. Al netto di tutto per giocare su Windows un fullhd è ottima. Quantitativo di RAM adeguato e per 200€ è la porta di accesso a nuove tech un tempo esclusiva di Nvidia e AMD. A breve recensisco anche la b580 che ho preso per il pc da gioco

The card works great! It's used in a Jellyfin media server for encoding/decoding/transcoding video, and it works great in Truenas Scale. This card can even do AV1 decoding/encoding, which is rare for this price. The card is quiet when utilized and when its idling, the fans stop spinning automatically. This means the card does have fan-stop at lower utilization/temps. I haven't noticed any fan coil wine either. NOTE: I do not game on this card, so this card is not being fully utilized/stressed, since i use it for my media server (decoding/encoding).

Looking for a good low profile videocard and wanted actually an Intel card, so this one is obvious surely for the price! a lot better than those ancient 730 videocards you see around for a lot more money..
