Arc A770 Ray Tracing Competitive to or Better Than the RTX 3060: Intel at IFA Berlin
Intel Graphics in an interview with PC Gamer on the sidelines of the 2022 IFA Berlin, claimed that the real-time ray tracing architecture of the Xe-HPG graphics architecture in the Arc A770 "Alchemist" graphics card is "competitive or better than" the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, and that the company plans to launch the card at an attractive price-point, to grab a slice of the very top of the gaming graphics market bell-curve. The RTX 3060 is a very successful GPU, especially with graphics card prices on the chill, and AMD is already competing with its Radeon RX 6650 XT, which can be spotted at lower prices. The RTX 3060 has been in the crosshairs of Intel Graphics marketing, in recent performance reveals for the A770.
"When you have a title that is optimized for Intel, in the sense that it runs well on DX12, you're gonna get performance that's significantly above an [RTX] 3060," said Tom Petersen with Intel Graphics. "When you have a title that is optimized for Intel, in the sense that it runs well on DX12, you're gonna get performance that's significantly above an [RTX] 3060. And this is A750 compared to a 3060, so 17%, 14%, 10%. It's going to vary of course based on the title," he said. "We're going to be a little bit faster but depending on your game and depending on your settings, it's trading blows, and that's the A750. Obviously, A770 is going to be a little bit faster. So when you add in DX11, you're gonna see our performance is a little less trading blows, and we're kind of behind in some cases, ahead in some cases, but more losses than wins at DX11," he added. While Intel is still non-committal about a launch date, although it stated that the Arc A770 and A750 will launch with an attractive "introductory pricing."

A750 look pretty close to 3060Ti in specs, perform the same as 3060, selling for 3050 price.
War never changes.....
Vapourware is still vapourware
So while they might get close to 3060 RT perf then Nvidia still has the advantage of DLSS (compared to XeSS).
Personally i dont have much faith in their claims. They seem to be making bold claims and hyping up things too much. At the same time it takes one GN video to expose over 40 bugs in their control panel and based on recent testing they also have problems in Vulkan/DX12 games in addition to nonexistant DX9 and poor DX10/DX11 performance.
Let others do the beta-testing until "battlemage" arrive.
Bring something legit or stop with these useless advertisements. You have had more than enough time to get your shit together. So lame.
OK, RDNA2 is fine. Who knows about 3. They're still inconsistent as fuck - Nvidia is consistent, with the occasional screw up. Its like two different worlds. The same can be said of the frequency and quality of GPU generations the last decade.
But the most consistent is Intel, who haven't managed to release something great in GPU or iGPU to save their lives.
But yeah - Intel. Even their network drivers have given me problems. Shockingly even Realtek drivers are better for me.
F#@£ all, is never better than something you can actually hold or use.
Dick's, how the ffff they maintain their loyal fan base is beyond me they are literally turd in my eyes as a company (calm down their wares are ok when eventually available but the company).
Graphs and Ryans PR are nice, but useless for customers If you cant buy anything above the Ahooo380.
With AMD I faced more issues (stupid HDMI audio) less with nVidia but there were few.
Now though, both are spending enough money to make their drivers less awful, nVidia just offers more stuff.
