Intel Arc A770 Graphics

Product Information

Idle power consumption is higher than it should be, as the GPU never quite reaches a fully idle state and its usage remains north of 10% even when sitting at the desktop. This, yet again, is a sign of driver issues. Power consumption in FurMark, however, is on the upper end of things and above most of the competition. Typically we see higher power consumption when running Guardians of the Galaxy, but in this case we only saw it top out close to the same numbers we saw from FurMark. Likely, this is due to the card not performing correctly while running the game, rather than the card actually having lower power consumption at full load.

Flipping through the individual game results, things become a bit more chaotic. Against the 3060, there's only one game in our test suite where the Arc A770 doesn't claim the lead: Horizon Zero Dawn. Interestingly, that's a DX12 game, but Intel apparently hasn't fully optimized for it yet. Elsewhere, the A770 leads by anywhere from 4% (Flight Simulator) to as much as 35% (Red Dead Redemption 2). Finally, the A770 and 6650 XT split the games 50-50, with Arc trailing by as much as 19% (Horizon Zero Dawn again) and leading by as much as 28% (Red Dead Redemption 2 again). Klarna Bank AB (publ) is Authorised by the Swedish Financial Services Authority (Finansinspektionen) and is subject to limited regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority.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. If Arc hopes to make a major impact on the graphics card market, these better drivers need to come soon. Nvidia's rolling out its GeForce RTX 4000 series piece by piece, and while the first two cards are vastly pricier than the initial Arcs, cheaper ones are likely coming soon. AMD, too, has begun in its rollout of the new RX 7000 series Radeons, like Nvidia starting at the top and eventually working its way down. The A750 and A770 are built on the same GPU die, as well, It measures 406mm2 and is produced on TSMC’s N6 6nm manufacturing process. The difference: The Arc A750’s GPU is partially disabled and doesn’t have quite as much raw power as the one in the Arc A770. But it’s not far off. Where the Arc A770 has 512 Vector Engines, 256 TMUs, and 128 ROPs, the A750 has 448 Vector Engines, 224 TMUs, and 112 ROPs. It’s also important to note that Intel’s Arc GPUs will be arriving late. The company originally planned on formally launching them in the US in Q3, following an earlier delay. However, the Oct. 12 launch date shows the Arc A770 will actually land in Q4. 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.

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. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Conduct Authority are available from us on request. What's likely happening is that Arc's drivers are becoming more CPU limited at lighter settings, meaning they can't scale as much as the AMD and Nvidia GPUs. This is something Intel has already talked about, how using the integrated graphics drivers as the base for Arc hampered overall performance, and it's something the driver team continues to work on.The card has the typical one-HDMI, three-DisplayPort output layout of most modern twin-slot-width cards. Overall, if you discount the memory, the differences between the Arc A750 and the A770 are minute. That hardware parallelism results in the two cards placing very close together, in terms of performance, in most situations, as you will soon see. 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.

Stepping up to 1440p Ultra drops the A770's performance by 22% compared to 1080p ultra, while the competing AMD and Nvidia cards lose 29% and 25%, respectively. That drop is also consistent with the Arc A750, so the extra VRAM on the A770 LE isn't really coming into play. Overall, the A770 still averages more than 60 fps, and it's 18% faster than the RTX 3060 and 8% faster than the RX 6650 XT — but still 13% slower than the RX 6700 XT and 11% slower than the RTX 3060 Ti.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. According to Gelsinger, Intel heard complaints from gamers about the high prices. “You should be frustrated because you are losing out as a gaming community. And today, we’re fixing that." For some reason, FSR currently isn’t working with Intel graphics cards in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, so we only have test results for this game with DLSS/FSR disabled. Here is where the A750 stumbles and we see the first big speed stumble with Intel and its graphics cards, as the Arc A750 performs quite poorly in this test. We chalk this up to driver issues, currently the bane of Arc's existence. Indeed, outside the benchmark, the game’s menu proved almost unnavigable, and playing the game is absolutely out of the question with such poor performance. AAA Game Tests (Modern) 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.

So who's right? We'll have to wait and see what kind of wonders these GPU industry titans can work with silicon in the years to come. Intel certainly appears to have capitalized on a weak point in Nvidia's market strategy by queuing up a slate of (comparatively) cheap desktop GPUs just as GeForce 30-series card prices are starting to plummet and their successors are starting to seem wildly overpriced.
