Intel Previews Arc A750 Graphics Card Performance
Intel has decided to share some more details on its upcoming Arc A750 graphics card, the one and same that appeared briefly in a Gamer Nexus video just the other day. The exact product being previewed is the Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition graphics card, but the company didn't reveal any specifications of the card in the video it posted. What is revealed, is that the card will outperform a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 card at 1440p in the five titles that Intel provided performance indications and average frame rates for. The five games are F1 2021, Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Borderlands 3 and Fortnite, so in other words, mostly quite demanding games with F1 2021 and Fortnite being the exceptions.
The only game we get any kind of insight into the actual performance of in the video, is Cyberpunk 2077, where Ryan Shrout details the game settings and the actual frame rate. At 2560 x 1440, using high settings, the Arc A750 delivers 60.79 FPS, with a low of 50.54 FPS and a max of 77.92 FPS. Intel claims this is 1.17 times the performance of an EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming 12G graphics card. At least Intel didn't try to pull a fast one, as the company provided average frame rates for all the other games tested as well, not just how many times faster the Intel card was and you can see those results below. The test system consisted of an Intel Core i9-12900K fitted to an ASUS ROG Maximus Z690 Hero board, 32 GB of 4800 MHz DDR5 memory and a Corsair MP600 Pro XT 4 TB NVMe SSD, as well as Windows 11 Pro. According to the video, the Arc graphics cards should launch "this summer" and Intel will be releasing more details between now and the launch.

with drivers that still need to mature
and RTX4000 and RDNA3 around the corner....
that price better be really right....
Well done Intel, you created something to compete with Pascal. :rolleyes:
At about 220-230 dollars this might start to make a viable option, though. Anything higher than that, and I wouldn't give it a second look. If intel needs to sell it as a loss maker in order to gain market share, then they need to sell it as a loss maker, or else it sinks. That's a price in making people publicly beta test your products. Gain the market share, improve the drivers, live to fight a second gen.
Anyhow allegedly per Tom Petersen they are not just already working on the the next gen but also the gen after that as so hopefully they are here to stay. Because AMD and NVIDIA if they are competing in anything is to see who can sell their stuff for more.
And I'm not saying Intel is the "savior" but doing that price fixing gonna get little more complicated with 3 players in the game.
We also have to keep in mind this will end up in pre-built gaming systems - Intel can now provide a CPU+MB+GPU bundle to vendors at a discount so I'm sure we'll see these popping up there - again a high FPS 1080p or 60FPS 1440p setup would be pretty good for a pre-built and will shift a lot more units compared to what a 3080 competitor would.
All this is rumours and until something is announced, it can't be verified.
Yes, there have been drivers indicating these products, but it doesn't mean they're guaranteed to launch.
According to the link below, there's a 780 and 350 as well.

Back when 1080 Ti was about to launch, I was planning to buy one, and since I had one GPU fail I bought a 1060 as a temporary solution. Then prices and availability went crazy, and I'm still rocking my 1060 :P
These GPUs are trash, no two ways about it. I'm gonna enjoy laughing at the people posting "I bought an Intel GPU but it runs slow in <random game> REEEEEE". Then in a few more years, another round of pointing and laughing at the "Has Intel abandoned Arc, why are there no driver updates" posts.
