Acer Nitro Intel Arc Graphics Cards

The Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC 12GB is now available in white as an alternative to the black model that came to market earlier this year. With clock speeds up to 2,740 MHz, it supports immersive gameplay with high FPS gaming at 1440p and up to 8K displays. The Intel Xe2 microarchitecture with built-in DirectX 12 Ultimate support provides ray tracing capabilities, mesh shaders, variable rate shading and sampler feedback to enhance gameplay with real-time lighting, shadows and reflections. Intel XeSS Frame Generation technology (XeSS-FG) significantly increases frames per second (FPS), while Intel Xe Low Latency technology (XeLL) decreases input lag from keyboard and mouse inputs to the display for smooth performance.

The Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 OC’s compact design makes it easy to fit into any DIY setup. The FrostBlade cooling system, featuring a textured blade design and dual ball bearing system, increases airflow and reduces noise by 8% compared to plastic fans. As an Intel Arc GPU, it offers a creator toolkit to accelerate content creation, editing and uploading. The Xe Media Engine with its Dual Media Transcoder allows seamless video editing, speeds processing time, and supports a wide gamut of media formats. Leveraging the specialized XMX AI engines in each Xe-core, the AI Playground app provides image and video creation, editing, and AI-powered chat capabilities.

The Acer Nitro Intel Arc A380 LP 6GB provides up to a 2,000 MHz game clock. With Xe-cores featuring built-in Intel® XMX AI capabilities and advanced 3D acceleration hardware, its Xe microarchitecture with DirectX 12 Ultimate Support is compatible with the latest graphics technologies, including ray tracing, variable rate shading, mesh shading and sampler feedback. Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) elevates gameplay with AI-enhanced upscaling technology to deliver higher performance with high image fidelity. Gamers, streamers and content creators can increase productivity with powerful content creation abilities, including processing 8K HDR video and accelerating 3D workloads.

With a cutting-edge media engine and AI capabilities, the Nitro Intel Arc A380 helps spark creativity and assists in the development of engaging content, supporting high-quality and storage-efficient AV1 video. For effective cooling, a blower-style fan efficiently dispels heat.

Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Graphics Cards

The two new AMD Radeon models include the Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 16GB and Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC 8GB editions. Both Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT OC graphics cards deliver boost clocks of up to 3,320 MHz[1] and game clocks of up to 2,780 MHz[1].

Leveraging AMD RDNA™ 4 compute units with powerful raytracing and AI accelerators, these GPUS are primed to deliver immersive 8K visuals and fast gaming and content creation. They also provide exceptional visual quality for video streaming and editing with AMD HYPR-RX, which boosts performance and reduces latency across thousands of games. AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 4 image upscaling with advanced frame generation technologies increases framerates in supported games. In addition, the AMD Radiance Display™ Engine improves multimedia and streaming.

Featuring dual Axial fans, the cooling systems maintain performance during high-intensity gaming matches. The fans operate quietly and withstand higher temperatures thanks to dual ball bearings and lubricating oil.

Delta Air Lines to sponsor Play Yellow Sunday, celebrating local patient families and supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center through Children’s Miracle Network

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Play Yellow, a fundraising program of Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), is excited to be part of the inaugural Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions, bringing its mission of supporting children’s healthcare to the course and the local community. Proceeds from the tournament will benefit Play Yellow and provide significant support to the local children’s hospital, Dell Children’s Medical Center, and the surrounding community.

Play Yellow unites the golf community to support children’s healthcare across the U.S. and Canada. Founded through a partnership between Jack and Barbara Nicklaus, Children’s Miracle Network and the PGA Tour, Play Yellow invites golfers, tournaments and fans to turn their passion for the game into life-changing care.

“Our partnership with the PGA Tour and events like the Austin Championship presented by Compliance Solutions reminds us what’s possible when a community comes together for kids,” said Becca Evans, National Director of Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network. “We’re grateful for every golfer, fan, and partner who helps make big change for all kids.”

Delta Air Lines Sponsors Play Yellow Sunday

Delta Air Lines is sponsoring Play Yellow Sunday. By wearing yellow and fundraising through golf, the Play Yellow community elevates the level of care at local children’s hospitals.

Ten patient families will join Children’s Miracle Network on the course, wearing caddie bibs featuring the Delta Air Lines logo. Some children will have the opportunity to walk a hole alongside a PGA Tour professional, while others will join the action by helping as honorary caddies on the 18th green. Among the participating children is Jett Payne, the local Children’s Miracle Network champion.

After a difficult delivery, Jett began experiencing seizures and was transferred to Dell Children’s Medical Center, where an MRI revealed multiple strokes that likely occurred before or during birth. He spent 12 days in the Neuro-NICU, where specialized care helped stabilize his seizures and support his recovery. Today, Jett is a thriving 2-year-old who is walking, talking, and exceeding milestones. He will be joined by his parents, Ryann and Brad Payne, and his brother, Briggs, age 9.

Supporting Dell Children’s Medical Center

Dell Children’s, a hospital within Children’s Miracle Network, has partnered with CMN for nearly 40 years. Since opening in 2007, Dell Children’s Medical Center has served as Central Texas’s only freestanding pediatric Level I trauma center, bringing world-class children’s healthcare to families in their own community. From pediatric heart and bone marrow transplants to expanding access to pediatric mental health care, Dell Children’s continues to advance what’s possible for children across Central Texas.

“Every day at Dell Children’s, we see the difference that access to specialized pediatric care makes in the lives of children and their families,” said Megan Campuzano, Senior Director, Annual Giving, Dell Children’s Medical Center. “The generosity of our community supports that care, allowing us to expand what we can do for children across Central Texas. We are grateful to Play Yellow, Children’s Miracle Network, the PGA Tour, and every supporter making this event a reality. It is meaningful to see our patient families recognized on such a special stage and to have our community unite behind a brighter future for all kids.”

Play Yellow Ambassadors Lead the Way

Helping bring the CMN mission to life on the course, Play Yellow’s ambassadors Patrick Fishburn, Hank Lebioda, Justin Lower, Kevin Roy, Max McGreevy, Peter Malnati, and Neal Shipley will also take the course in Austin, continuing to use their platforms to rally golfers, fans, sponsors, and communities around the shared mission of supporting children’s healthcare.
