Gigabyte To Launch Custom GPUs Based On Intel Arc A310 And Arc A380

Gigabyte has become the next partner to join a growing list of Intel’s custom board partners for the Intel Arc Alchemist desktop GPUs. Custom boards for the Intel Arc GPUs were previously announced by ASRock and Gunner. 

According to a listing by the Eurasian Economic Commission, spotted by Videocardz, Gigabyte is readying as many as five models of Arc GPUs. The news comes after a long running rumour of Gigabyte coming onboard as a potential board partner for Intel. The listing confirms the rumours. 

It’s interesting to note, however, that Gigabyte could only be focusing on the entry-level Arc discrete GPUs. This, despite the launch of Intel’s most powerful offering, Arc A770 Limited Edition last week. 

Gigabyte is only bringing custom boards for the Intel Arc A310 and the Arc A380. There’s no sign of the A770 or the A570. 

According to the listing, Gigabyte is readying multiple models of the Arc A330 and the A380 GPUs. The listing showed the following:

• Gigabyte Arc A380 Gaming OC 6GB (GV-IA380GAMING OC-6GD)
• Gigabyte Arc A380 Gaming 6GB (GV-IA380GAMING-6GD)
• Gigabyte Arc A380 WindForce OC 6GB (GV-IA380WF2OC-6GD)
• Gigabyte Arc A380 WindForce 6GB (GV-IA380WF2-6GD)
• Gigabyte Arc A310 WindForce 4GB (GV-IA310WF2-4GD).

As per the listing, Gigabyte will be announcing factory overclocked models of the Arc A380 GPUs. 

With Gigabyte on board, Intel’s newest discrete GPUs will be retailed by three popular partner companies. MSI has also launched custom boards for the Arc A380 and the Arc 310 models, but they are only available for the Chinese market. However, Nvidia and AMD still command a larger share of custom boards. For Intel, we are still awaiting custom boards from Asus, Galax, Zotac, and the likes.
