Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Is the HP Intel Arc A380 good for 1080p gaming?
    A: Yes. The Arc A380 is designed to target solid 1080p performance, delivering smooth frame rates in many popular titles at high or medium settings while remaining energy efficient and relatively affordable.
  • Q: Does this card require external power connectors?
    A: Many configurations of the Arc A380 draw sufficient power from the PCIe slot itself. Some board partners or specific builds may require additional PCIe power connectors, so check your model’s specifications and your power supply capabilities before upgrading.
  • Q: What operating systems are supported?
    A: The HP Arc A380 supports modern Windows environments, including Windows 10 and Windows 11, with driver updates available from Intel and HP for improved performance and bug fixes.
  • Q: Can I use this card for 1440p gaming?
    A: While primarily aimed at 1080p gaming, flexible settings and resolutions can yield playable experiences at 1440p for select titles. For consistently high frame rates at 1440p in newer games, a higher-tier GPU may be preferable.
  • Q: How do I maximize performance with this GPU?
    A: Keep drivers up to date, enable features like Intel’s AI-assisted image enhancement where supported, adjust in-game graphics settings to balance quality and performance, and ensure adequate airflow within your case to maintain thermals during extended gaming sessions.
  • Q: Is this card suitable for content creation or video editing?
    A: The 6 GB GDDR6 memory and Arc acceleration can assist with multimedia tasks and light to moderate content creation, especially when using GPU-accelerated effects and timelines. For heavy 4K editing or heavy effects work, higher-end GPUs may offer more headroom.
