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

[Sithaer]

16 GB for this type of performance is utter overkill. No one puts so much memory on such a low-end tier card.

Do they confuse themselves that this will be "fine wine" or what? lol

Intel Arc A770 Review - Finally a Third Competitor - Borderlands 3 | TechPowerUp

The 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.

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.

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.

It's still early days, they'll get there eventually

I 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.
