What Buyers Say
ASRock Arc B570 Challenger 10GB GDDR6 Black
The ASRock Challenger Arc B570 is widely praised as a great budget 1440p GPU, offering excellent value, cool and quiet operation, and easy installation. Users upgrading from older cards like the GTX 1060 or RTX 2060 report significant performance gains, though some note stuttering in certain games and a known CPU overhead issue. A few negative reviews focus on price increases from MSRP and a vague one-star complaint, but the overall sentiment is strongly positive.

- Easy installation
- Great 1440p performance
