Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition 8 GB Graphics Card Discounted to $199
Newegg has reduced the asking price for Intel's Arc A750 Limited Edition 8 GB graphics card - this reference model is now available at an all-time low of $199. It is too early to tell whether this a permanent discount or just a seasonal sale - but the online retailer could be reacting (in advance) to the launches of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4060 (in July) and 4060 Ti models, as well as AMD's Radeon RX 7600 GPU lineup later this week.
Team Blue is putting a lot of effort into getting the hardware buying public to adopt its first generation of A-series/Alchemist discrete graphics cards - including the premiere of a slightly bizarre marketing campaign last week, called "Arc Balanced Builds." Intel has been navigating a market long dominated by NVIDIA and AMD, where plenty of folks have welcomed a third player on the field - but the Arc series experienced a much delayed and rough launch process last year. Intel has seemingly committed to next generation graphics technologies, with its Battlemage and Celestial architectures speculated to be in-progress at the company's AXG division.

Still, a good looking card, and it performs 10% better in 4K than the RX 6600.
They did eventually sort it out
My son's last interaction with them was shall we say, less than good...
They sent him the wrong product, then denied his RMA request, then tried to pawn off the responsibility for the mistake onto the mfgr, which was total bullshit.
Then when we disputed the transaction with his CC company, they told them that he had previously attempted numerous fraudulent returns, and had previously been permanently banned from buying anything from them, which was also total BS...
Therefore we got the state AG, Consumer Affairs, and the BBB involved, and after 4 long, dragged out months, he received his refund MINUS a 10% restocking fee...at which point we just turned the whole thing over to our attorney...
24 hours later, BAM, full refund + attorney's fees mailed to him in a cashier's check (wtf ??)
The ONLY positive thing in this whole clusterf*ck..... the original, correct item showed up at our front door 3 weeks later, and another one a week after that, and then another one 2 weeks after that....all of which we promptly sold to friends & family members ..:laugh:...:eek:..:clap:
geez what a shitshow...
The latest May driver fixes a lot of issues.
Here is a SS from my tests
