Acer's Predator BiFrost Arc A770 Goes on Sale in Taiwan for as Low as US$313

Acer has launched its Predator BiFrost Arc A770 graphics card in Taiwan and the official pricing appears to be NT$12,900 or US$404, local shops are already selling the card for far less. The BiFrost comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and an overclocking option that boosts the GPU speed from 2,200 MHz to 2,400 MHz. The latter also increases the TDP from 250 to 280 Watts. As seen in the launch announcement pictures, the card has a rather unusual fan design and Acer has even come up with some marketing names for the setup. The blower fan is referred to as Aeroblade 3D and the regular 92 mm fan as Frostblade 2.0. We're not sure how there's a version 2.0 when this is Acer's first retail graphics card.

The card measures 267 x 117.75 mm and has as we've also seen, a pair of 8-pin power connectors. The port configuration consists of three DP 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port. Local shops are offering the card on sale for US$372 to as little as US$313 (NT$9990), which is only US$13 more than Intel's own Arc A750 cards retail for in Taiwan. This price point makes it a fair bit more attractive, even taking potential driver related issues and hardware limitations into account.

SithaerThe BL 3 numbers are likely caused by the fact that W1z tested it with DX 11 instead of 12.
DX 12 used to be in a beta phase in BL 3 for a long time but not anymore and in other ppl's tests the ARC cards does better with DX 12 in BL 3.

As a long time BL 3 player I've already told W1z that if possible re check those numbers with DX 12 instead of 11.

Tho I agree that the performance is way all over the place with the current gen ARC cards + drivers and that needs to be fixed first.

On a side note I like how this Acer card looks.:oops:
That's exactly why TPU's benchmarks look like that. There are very few DX11 games that perform well on ARC. It's gonna stay that way is my guess.

Using DX12 basically takes it from sub 3050 performance to tying with a 6650XT.

Borderlands from Tom's A770 review on DX12 :



Using DX11 at TPU :

It is far too bad I cant get one of these ARC GPU's here. The only store that seems to have them listed here never had them in stock.

ZoneDymoI dig it, it has that 90s cool look, now if only it did not cost as much over here and the drivers were a bit more....reliable
The heck you looking at? nothing with this card is 90s themed.
