GUNNIR Outs 16GB Arc A770 Photon Graphics Card with Triple-Fan Cooler
GUNNIR, the Chinese Intel Arc board partner, unveiled a 16 GB version of its Arc A770 Photon graphics card with specs that partially match Intel's A770 16 GB Limited Edition. Custom-design versions of the A770, such as the one from ASRock Phantom Gaming, only come with 8 GB of memory. The card comes with GUNNIR's heaviest dual-slot, triple-fan cooling solution. While the card offers an overclocked GPU, with the A770 running at 2.40 GHz (compared to 2.10 GHz reference), the memory runs at the same 16 Gbps GDDR6-effective speed as the A770 8 GB version, and not the 17.5 Gbps that the A770 16 GB Limited Edition comes with. This leaves you with a still-respectable 512 GB/s of memory bandwidth on tap. The card draws power from two 8-pin PCIe power connectors. GUNNIR is pricing the card at RMB ¥3,199 ($470).

Unless that company directly pays your salary or you own its shares, fanboying for them gets you literally nothing, so why do you do it? Are you so incredibly insecure that you have to tie your self-worth to that of a hugely successful entity like Intel, that knows nothing of and cares nothing for you?
Arc is not a promising product that just needs a bit of a chance to become good; it is a bad product from a company that can and should have done far better. Trying to portray it as anything else is dishonest and does an injustice to consumers who deserve proper competition - not this insultingly half-a**ed pseudo-effort that was created solely to capitalise on stock shortages from the established GPU vendors due to the cryptomining boom.
