Have a AMD 6000 series and this, A770 for the comparative price of what is can do / process according to a comparsion with with one of steams major gfx test apps. The AMD top range 6950 XT in a 4k test got about 9000 and this got 6500 roughly, So as you can see for price as to what you get is great and a lot of games will run on this absolutely fine. I really don't know why the gaming desktop community ain't catching on. Yes driver may need time, yes i don't know what its like for mining. As for sound the A770 is nearly silent, i here the CPU fan over the card fan for air cooling. The only reason i bought it, is because i once ran a game off of the integrated GFX of an INTEL CPU by accident and noticed "smeg" all difference, so i wanted to see what their offering could do. I am not disappointed in this card all all and just hope it gets the support from the community and company it should have. Experience supercharged gaming and cutting-edge creation experiences across the Intel Arc A-series family. From high-performance AAA gaming on Intel Arc 7 graphics to enhanced mainstream gaming on Intel Arc 3 graphics, there’s an Arc graphics card for your gaming adventure. You hate troubleshooting: We've had serious errors just in testing this machine, and the inconsistent Intel Arc drivers will likely require some troubleshooting on your part down the line, too. These cards are especially good for content creators, with AV1 encoding providing a massive quality boost versus older H.264 and H.265 at the same bitrate, or alternatively a much lower bitrate while maintaining the same quality.

Unleash your imagination and captivate audiences with rich digital content creation using a hyper advanced media engine, augmented by AI and accelerated by Intel® Deep Link technology. Create compelling content, powered by the first graphics card with support for all current leading media formats, and keep yourself up to date with the most advanced AV1 video encode capabilities. The margin in performance between the Intel Arc series of cards here and the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 XT is actually less at 1400p as opposed to 1080p, but regardless, in AAA titles such as Gears 5, you'll be able to grab an average output of 60fps at 1440p, and 83fps at 1080p, which is solid. Here's the Digital Foundry video review of these important graphics cards.

Where Does This Price Drop Leave Intel's Graphics Cards?

My biggest concern is future support. They said they're committed to dGPUs, but this product line clearly didn't live up to their expectations. Unless we're all being horribly lied to on GPU pricing, it doesn't seem like Intel is making much/any money on the A750/770. Certainly not as much as they'd hoped. If next gen is a flop also.....who knows, maybe they call it quits. Then what? Would they still provide driver updates? For how long? The Intel Core i5-13400 inside the Maingear MG-1, however, is one of the better budget processors offering strong gaming and synthetic performance overall. Considering the relatively budget price of this machine, the company definitely made the right call going with the Raptor Lake CPU instead of opting for an older Alder Lake version. Despite the fact there's a good chance you're getting actual Alder Lake cores, and therefore not necessarily Raptor Cove P-cores and their extra cache (Intel use both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake dies for the 13400-series) you do get more cores for your money compared to the Core i5 12400 and consequently more cache because of it. For gaming at 1080p and 1440p, you're absolutely in good hands here. That's considering the TDP of the Intel Arc A750 of 225W and the CPU's base power of 65W. Ultimately, with these specs, air cooling is the way to go, and there's a more-than-adequate amount of space inside the case for effective cooling, with plenty of vents in the case itself. Fortunately, this build uses the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Air Cooler, which would certainly give some of the best CPU air coolers a run for their money. The company clearly didn't cheap out on cooling here, and it's all the better for it. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request.

You're after a good value budget rig: There are far better value systems on offer even from Maingear itself. To be sure, this is a small sample. But overall, these results suggest the improvements from the new driver may be pretty limited unless you are playing the older DirectX 9 games Intel touted. However, we no longer test games that rely on DirectX 9 due to their age, and because almost all other GPUs today are able to run DirectX 9 games at least moderately well. I really do want Intel to stay in the GPU market. Having a third competitor will be good. Hopefully Battlemage rights many of the wrongs in Alchemist.Factoring in the price point, the mediocre specs, and the inconsistent nature of the Intel Arc A750 in its current form, I can't really recommend this particular build to anyone, even if they are on a tight budget. While the 1080p and 1440p performance is solid when it works, the number of crashes I encountered and the difficulties with game stability in general mean that you're ultimately better off investing in a rig that's running something from Team Green or Red instead at a similar or even slightly higher price point. Because both the A750 and A770 can have a lower price over Nvidia’s RTX 3060, Intel is emphasizing the “performance per dollar” uplift consumers will receive if they opt for an Arc graphics card. So, without further ado, here's all the important things you need to know about the Arc A770 and A750 GPUs, including where to buy them, their prices and a whole lot more. You can buy the Arc A770 and Arc A750 from a range of major European retailers, which we've summarised in a handy table below. It seems especially strange that there's only one UK retailer earmarked in Ebuyer, but if there happens to be more, we'll be sure to add them here. Retailer

Looking at the direct competition, which, based on current GPU prices , would be the AMD RX 6600 or RX 6650 XT and the Nvidia RTX 3050, things are a bit messy. Let's just get this out of the way and say that the RTX 3050 ends up hopelessly outclassed. That was already true with the RX 6600, and the Arc A750 can pour some salt into the wound. But the AMD cards aren't going to roll over so easily. Intel's Arc series of GPUs has meant that it's now a three horse race as Team Blue looks to provide a formidable alternative to the longstanding dichotomy between AMD and Nvidia's entries that gamers have faced for ages. To help you decide whether they're worth a go, we've rounded up everything you need to know about the Arc A770 and A750, from their price and performance to where you can actually buy them in the US, UK, Canada and Europe. tennis2 said:TBH, not an unexpected outcome for their first product. The DX12 emulation was a strange choice, forward-thinking sure, but not at that much cost to older games they know reviewers are still testing on. Was wishing/hoping Intel's R&D budget could've gotten a little closer to market parity (I'm sure they did also for pricing) but I don't know what their R&D budget was for this project. Seems like their experience in IGP R&D could've been better extrapolated into discrete cards, but apparently not. The specs of the new Intel Arc series GPUs aren't half bad for the price, and bring with them some intriguing features, too. You can see this for yourself in our table below. Intel revealed pricing for the Arc GPUs in a new presentation, which includes benchmarks showing the Arc A750 can trade blows and sometimes beat the RTX 3060 in several games running at 1440p, including Fortnite, Elden Ring, and Apex Legends.

I do wonder what % of games released in the past 2 years (say top 100 from each year) are DX12....Intel will continue to do integrated graphics for sure. That means they'll still make drivers. But will they keep up with changes on the dGPU side if they pull out? Probably not. However, that price drop alone may not be enough to make the Arc A750 worth buying. The Intel Arc A750 performed rather poorly when we reviewed it. The card’s performance was inconsistent, and driver issues caused some games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, to not run at all. This, along with reduced prices on competing AMD and Nvidia cards, made the Arc A750 difficult to recommend. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged >18, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Of course, our full review on both the Arc A770 and A750 will give you all the details you need as to how fast these cards are, but in short, they'll be more than good enough for those who want solid 1080p gaming. The A770 is comparable to an RTX 3060 and an RX 6600 XT in terms of price and performance, as is the A750 too, which actually offered benchmark results that were rather similar to the A770, with a percentage margin of between three and 10 percent in favour of the A770.
