ASRock Intel Arc A380 Graphic Card - 6 GB GDDR6 - Low-profile

Unlock the power of compact gaming with the ASRock Intel Arc A380 Graphic Card.Designed for small form factor builds, this low-profile GPU packs 6 GB of fast GDDR6 memory and an efficient cooling system that prioritizes silence without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re upgrading a slim home theater PC, a compact workstation, or a mini-ITX gaming rig, the Arc A380 delivers confident 1080p gaming, smooth creative workflows, and energy-efficient operation in a footprint that fits your chassis. Its intelligent cooling strategy, reinforced by Nano Thermal Paste technology, helps maintain steady performance in everyday tasks and longer gaming sessions.

• Ultra-compact low-profile design: With a compact 169 x 69 mm footprint, this graphics card is engineered to fit slim and small form factor PCs, mini-ITX builds, and compact media centers without sacrificing GPU capability. The half-height form factor ensures it slides into tight cases and leaves room for other essential components, cooling, and cable management.
• Generous 6 GB GDDR6 memory: The 6 GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory paired with a capable GPU architecture gives you solid performance for modern e-sports titles, casual AAA games, and creative tasks like video editing and graphic design at 1080p. It also provides headroom for multitasking and media-heavy workflows in everyday use.
• 0dB Silent Cooling with dynamic fan control: The Arc A380 features a smart cooling system that spins the fan only when temperatures rise. When the workload lightens and the GPU cools, the fan stops, delivering complete silence for office work, media playback, and quiet living-room setups.
• Nano Thermal Paste for improved thermals: The use of Nano Thermal Paste technology helps maximize heat transfer between the GPU and the cooling solution, contributing to stable temperatures and sustained performance over longer gaming or rendering sessions.
• Designed for small form factor versatility: This low-profile card is ideal for HTPCs, compact gaming rigs, and workstations where space is at a premium. It provides a balanced combination of efficiency, performance, and space-saving design, enabling a more flexible build while still delivering a solid graphics boost for 1080p workloads and light creative tasks.

how to install ASRock Intel Arc A380 Graphic Card

• Power off your computer and unplug the power cord. Remove the computer case panel to access the motherboard and PCIe slots.
• Locate an available PCIe x16 slot and align the card with the slot. Gently press the card into the slot until it seats firmly.
• Secure the graphics card to the chassis with a screw in the bracket to ensure it stays in place during transport and usage.
• Connect any required power cables as dictated by your specific model and motherboard configuration. If your build relies solely on PCIe slot power, you can proceed without additional connections, but verify your system’s power readiness.
• reinstall any case panels, reconnect power, and boot up. Install the latest graphics drivers from Intel or ASRock to enable full feature sets and optimal stability.
• Configure display settings in your operating system and control panel, tune game settings for 1080p or light 1440p workloads, and enjoy improved visuals with efficient cooling and silent operation in compatible builds.

Frequently asked questions

• What kind of games is this card best suited for? The ASRock Intel Arc A380 is well-suited for 1080p gaming, esports titles, and less demanding AAA games at medium to medium-high settings. It also serves well for content creation workloads like video editing and graphic design at modest resolutions in compact setups.
• Do I need any extra power connectors? Most configurations in small form factor builds rely on PCIe slot power. This model is designed to operate within typical PCIe power delivery, but always check your specific card variant and chassis guidelines if you plan a high-load gaming session or extended rendering tasks.
• Is silent cooling really noticeable in a living room or office? Yes. The 0dB Silent Cooling system stops the fan at idle and conserves energy, delivering near-silent operation in everyday desktop tasks. When gaming or rendering, the fan engages to maintain temperatures without excessive noise.
• What drivers should I install? Install the latest Intel Arc drivers from Intel’s official site or ASRock’s support page to ensure hardware acceleration, feature support, security updates, and optimal game compatibility.
• Will this card fit my small case? If your case supports a low-profile/half-height GPU and has a PCIe x16 slot, this card should fit. Always measure the available clearance including potential drive bays and power supply cables when planning a compact build.
• Can I use multiple displays with this GPU? Many Intel Arc A380 configurations support multiple display outputs through standard connectors. Verify the exact output ports on your specific card model and ensure your monitor setup aligns with your display preferences.
