A benchmark for Intel’s first desktop graphics card in over 20 years has appeared. But the results leave a lot to be desired.
Back in January, Intel released the DG1 card without any fanfare. The product itself is only available as an add-in card for prebuilt systems. Moreover, the GPU only works with a special motherboard BIOS, so you can’t swap it into another desktop PC.

Nevertheless, someone recently tested an Asus-branded DG1 using the GPU benchmarking tool from Basemark. The resulting score shows the Intel graphics card performs just under 2012’s Radeon HD 7850 GPU, according to VideoCardz.
The benchmark specifically measured the DG1’s performance over the Vulkan graphics API, which is used in games and 3D applications. The Twitter user who originally discovered the benchmark also noted the DG1 is pretty comparable to the more recent RX 550, a $79 entry-level graphics card AMD launched back in 2017.

Kinda feel the card is weaker than marketed. GT 710 and others had better performance since there were no alternatives.
