Best GPUs for Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
Arrow Lake is a better engineering story than a gaming story. The move to a new socket and a chiplet layout brought a large efficiency improvement and strong productivity numbers, and it also brought memory latency that cost it in games against the generation it replaced. If your machine renders, compiles or encodes for a living, it earns its place. If it only plays games, this is the wrong flagship and we would say so to your face.
