After releasing the Intel Arc A750 OC some time ago, BIOSTAR has followed that up with the much more budget option Arc A380 ST.
Since it is a less powerful GPU in general, the brand decided to go with a single-fan design which will make fellow mini-ITX fans really happy. Coming with 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a boost clock of 2.0GHz, it hosts all the modern software support like ray-tracing under DirectX 12 Ultimate, and OpenGL 4.6 support – all within a 75W power budget.
But as a dedicated hardware for AV1 decoding and encoding, it might be the sensible option in this day and age for an “up-to-date” home media entertainment system that mainly deals with online streaming. And you have the usual DisplayPort and HDMI Out for connecting various monitors and displays.
