Acer Predator A380 graphics card spotted on Amazon

Acer isn't typically known for graphics cards, but with Intel entering the market, it looks like Acer will be jumping on as a board partner. New leaks suggest that Acer will be releasing two Arc graphics cards, a custom A770, and a blower-style A380. 

Spotted by @momomo_us on Amazon, the Acer Arc A380 Predator is an entry-level custom graphics card featuring a blower-style cooler to handle temperatures. The A380 isn't a particularly strong gaming GPU offering, but it will be a budget-friendly upgrade to an iGPU.

As per the photos on Amazon, the card looks to come in a 2-slot design without any power connectors, meaning the maximum TDP value should never exceed 75W. The blower-style cooler is very similar to traditional graphics cards, featuring a single fan pulling air into a vapour chamber. The pictures also show the available video outputs, which include two DisplayPorts and an HDMI connector.

Pricing and availability are still unknown but considering it's already listed on Amazon.com, it shouldn't take long to release. As for the pricing, it should match other A380 cards, currently available in the US for $140.

KitGuru says: For such a small card, a blower-style cooler should be enough. However, using this same cooling method on higher-TDP GPUs like the A770 can prove inefficient.
