Sparkle Introduces Arc A770 Titan OC Edition GPU
Sparkle has announced the Titan OC graphics card, becoming the company's flagship Intel Arc A770 16 GB graphics card. It stands out with its 16 GB onboard memory, factory-overclocked GPU and memory, and an advanced cooling system for additional overclocking potential. After Sparkle's re-entry into the graphics card market, it unveiled a series of Intel Arc-based products. The Arc A770 Titan, in particular, showcases the company's technological advancements. The Sparkle Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition features Intel's ACM-G10 GPU with a base clock of 2300 MHz, which is a significant increase from Intel's stock 2100 MHz, and boasts a 16 GB memory with a 17.5 GT/s data transfer rate.
The card has two eight-pin auxiliary PCIe power connectors, yielding a 650-watt PSU requirement, and an expansive triple-fan cooling system for optimal performance even under heavy loads. A unique feature is the ThermalSync thermal sensor atop the cooler, which adjusts the LED light bar's color based on temperature, making it easier for users to monitor. When Intel discontinued its Limited Edition Arc A770 16 GB graphics card, there was a gap in the market for a high-performance graphics card to rival offerings from ASRock and Acer. Sparkle hasn't revealed the pricing for its Intel Arc A770 Titan OC Edition GPU.

The air coolers are much too thick for my new build. And i do not see a reason to buy that much more expensive AMD RX7900XT/XTX and Nvidia 408x/409x models. I need a carcd to show the desktop. In maximum to rune once a month a game.
I hope battlemage is more timely, Alchemist is an interesting curiosity but I'm ready for genuine competition.I dont understand why the coolers are so big, the stock A770 was a simple dual slot cooler and was perfectly fine, hotspot of 78c is great. A770 just doesnt need these big triple slot coolers.
The 4070Ti should have 16Gb, and this one should have 8 or 12 to lower its cost. The graphic card market is really off lately.
I replaced my RTX 3060 (12gb) with the a770 LE.
I get high refresh 1440p gaming (4k in Diablo 4), better blender performance, very good results with Stable Diffusion, and AV1 encoding - that 16gb matters.
Battlemage is a year out, and having the sword of Damocles hanging over the driver team helps them focus them on getting better performance.
Nvidia has dumped on gamers with the 40 series, and AMD isn't doing much better - either of which is surprising when you consider how many last generation cards they are still sitting on.
I understand that it makes sense for a gamer with a $299 budget, but nothing more. The 4060TI 16Gb lesson applies here too. I bet you this one won't be below $400, and that's where I'm having a hard time believing that this is nothing more than a marketing trick. This card is still slower than a 3060 Ti, even with newer drivers. I'm not trying to downplay it either, the more competition the better, but the added value here seems missing to me.
