As someone who hasn't been following this at all...these are comparable to recent cards? I read the article and they did a benchmark against the RTX 4060 which was released last year. Are these more for casual gamer rigs? I guess I'm trying to figure out if these are a good choice for a rig I'm currently building for my teen.

I'd wait for independent reviews. The first wave of Intel GPUs had a lot of issues, mostly related to drivers. From what I understand Intel has come a long way on the driver front in the past year, but we don't have a clear picture on their overall state with the new parts. Reviewers like GamersNexus will call out whether the current state of the drivers are good enough for a recommendation, or if Intel still has more ground to cover.

dx12 and Vulkan titles work fairly well is my understanding.

battlemage is expected to come with much better dx11 support.

Older directx games are getting their calls remapped to Vulkan. This is where most of the problems existed. But it's much much better than at launch. When they weren't doing that is my understanding.

My understanding is OpenGL games work fine.

Anyone reading this let me know if anything I said isn't accurate.
