Of course, those leaked benchmarks were on a development version of the DG1, and it's possible that the newly launched OEM version will be faster-but we don't actually expect that to be the case. With a Fire Strike of 5,538, the Intel DG1 dev card from that May leak is faster than onboard graphics-but it's slower than entry-level discrete GPUs from AMD (RX 560) and Nvidia (GTX 1050), and it isn't even close to being on par with higher-end gaming GPUs. If we assume that May 2020's leaked DG1 Fire Strike benchmarks are still accurate, it won't get close to breaking any records yet. While this is disappointing news for reviewers like yours truly, it's probably not anything to get upset about if you're an enthusiast looking for the next hot gaming GPU. These motherboards require a special BIOS that supports Intel Iris Xe, so the cards won’t be compatible with other systems. The Iris Xe discrete add-in card will be paired with 9th gen (Coffee Lake-S) and 10th gen (Comet Lake-S) Intel® Core™ desktop processors and Intel(R) B460, H410, B365, and H310C chipset-based motherboards and sold as part of pre-built systems. Intel told LegitReviews that DG1 cards will work only on very specific systems, with custom UEFI (BIOS) that supports the card: If you're hoping to score a gray-market DG1 and include it in a home-built system of your own, you're out of luck. So far, two variants of the DG1 have been at least partially announced-an Asus-branded, passively cooled card and an actively cooled version from an unannounced vendor. This week, Intel announced sales of Intel DG1 graphics cards to OEMs and system integrators for inclusion in prebuilt systems. (Technically, this is Intel's second run-it made a short-lived and unloved AGP-only graphics card, the i740, in 1998.)
