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.

Such as, you know, chip size, power consumption, total package price.
Had anyone expected Intel to "open up" with oversized chips? How so? Getting experience with a solid low-mid range and then stepping up the game would be reasonable to expect.
The only troubling part here is Mr Koduri.Arc can compete with 3060 range of GPUs, we don't know yet.
i bet intel had the same ≤$399 strategy as AMD had with RDNA1 launch ;) lol
Raja, 100%, its like a carbon copy of the fiasco that is RTG. It was predicted and the outcome is fully accurate. Ooh you have super big chips. Good job Raja, but GPU is kept competitive by building the smallest possible chip instead and making it do bigger things all the time. The hardware isnt the key, it just enables you to stack optimization on top to create competitive product.
Raja is a guy that clearly isnt about all of that: the primary focus is moar hardware, scalability in hardware, perhaps power management of hardware... we saw it with the persistant failure of pushing for HBM and multi purpose chips that do everything, and we now look at Arc that essentially makes the same mistake minus HBM. And again, driver quality id an afterthought and not core focus. Marketing Cyberpunk performance while over half the target market has long forgotten that shitstorm speaks volumes, and then barely showing anything else simply confirms all of the above. Ryan looked terrified because he knows his job wont last long at this rate ;)
One doesn't need to compete at higher end, for it to be called "compete".Come on, that was never a thing.
What Raja rolled out (and yes, it was embarrassing) was "but two 480 are faster than 1080".
I would be interested if the price/performance is amazing and driver's stable.
I remember Ryzen 1 release and people were screaming too late, bad, not good and laughs all over the place and look at Ryzen now.
This Arc is not great but not bad either. (I hope it is not bad). Expecting a 3090 or 6900xt performance from this GPU was a nonsense from the beginning. It would have never been that fast.
Maybe next gen Arc shows some more competition on a larger scale and more performance tiers. Intel trying to release a GPU with emphasis on just releasing a GPU. Competition is another story which we will hopefully see in a next gen Arc.
Which makes sense because they need to have those cards out for people to test basically.
Personally I wouldn't mind card that only performs great in DX12 because if you think about it DX11 are older games so they should still run descent and also I think I lot of people would just like to play with the ARC gpus.
With all that said I think that the ARC GPUs will sell like hotcakes even if there is no shortage and the new AMD/Nvidia next gen is around the corner.
they obviously would not attack the 3090/6900xt but if you look the the die size and transistor count the Arc 770 lands around 6800 non-xt so it would be completely unrealistic that it could be faster than 6800 at the very best scenario it should match it so as long they price accordingly it will be interesting thing to try out.
