Intel Arc A770 Reviews Could Hit Early-October
Reviews of the Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition desktop graphics card could hit the web by October 5, according to a VideoCardz report. These could succeed unboxing articles without performance numbers, on September 30. Press reviews of the A770 publishing on October 5 could mean that retail availability isn't too far behind, and we could hear more about this later today at the IntelON Innovation online event, where the company is widely expected to announce its 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" desktop processors. The Arc A770 Limited Edition maxes out the 6 nm ACM-G10 silicon, features 32 Xe Cores, 512 XMX matrix processors, and 512 EUs, which work out to 4,096 unified shaders. The card comes with 8 GB or 16 GB of 17.5 Gbps GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus. Given that Intel is extensively comparing the A770 to the GeForce RTX 3070, one can expect a price competitive to that (around $500).

Pretty eager to get my hands on one of these though, that's for sure.
if they dont then thats good, keep the fight in the mid and keep the price lower than competition and it should sell well
Time will tell, but so far things look very promising.
because the information from the customers would be of immense value for intel going forward.
i cant think of top of my head but things like xess and stuff to compete with nvidia and amd..
It seems it's gonna be the battle of the 7s for me this time around. Either I'll buy an A770 for my Core i7, or build a new system with a R7 7700X and RX 7700 XT.
Honestly if the price is right... and avaiability is good, hey you never know. Extra competition is always good, and since Nvidia no longer exists for my price range... really need Intel to give AMD some balance.
W1zz probably won't test Dragon Age Origins though... :roll:
Inconsistencies between games and engines will be much greater than with competition - and some aren't just driver based, there is clear architectural difference. Focusing just on things that do work well can give a very skewed picture.
And then there are bugs in games, and non functional extras marketing really pushed. Sure, it's early, although at this point some markets have had ARC cards for months. But can you gamble and buy a card, and then find out Intel decided to focus their effort on next generation, or abandon the discrete gaming altogether and focus in compute / professional graphics?
And the pricing. Right now Nvidia and AMD cards are still overpriced, since they have just returned from stratosphere to about MSRP (and in some markets not even that). And low and midrange where Intel will compete is the worst in that regard. But that must change with arrival of next gen AMD and Nvidia cards in the coming months. So it makes sense to compare prices now only if you must buy really soon, otherwise it will be much better to wait.
Remember, you loose a lot of performance if you use Intel card in a system without BAR. So, no updating of old systems. Or if the game you're playing is too old, or based on an old graphics engine. Or if it just has a bug right in that game.
