Will the Arc A770 owners please stand up?

[Fouquin]

New driver version, new benchmarks.

Some changes since 3802; 3DMark11 will not start. Not sure if it's my end or if it's a problem with the recent SystemInfo update conflicting, but I couldn't get it to progress beyond the GT1 loading screen.

DX7/8/9 performance has catapulted in some areas and remained level in others. Intel made a big push with the 3959 driver to fix legacy API performance, and it looks like their efforts have been paying off. Here's a comparison of the 3802 driver to 3959 in 3DMark03. CPU overhead issues with the previous drivers have been practically eliminated, and graphics performance in these APIs has seen a very healthy uplift. Still quite a few years behind in raw performance, but now much more within the realm of respectability for such a young architecture.

GravityMark(Vulkan) is showing some interesting rendering anomalies that weren't present before, but performance has not really changed.

Other tests have seen no appreciable change.

The Division has a demo that includes a benchmark.

Annoyingly that requires UPlay, as I found out after downloading the 50GB demo. Yeah, no, sorry. Not putting that crap on my main rig.

Good choices. Sadly I own none of those.

No worries

I own a 770, but haven't even opened the box. lol. I use both PC and Mac laptops and sold off desktop shit awhile back. Now figured I'd jump back into it with a cheap system, but just haven't gotten around with getting all the parts yet.

If it helps, here you have a benchmark with the ARC 750

Has anyone tried the latest drivers, even when beta?

Here, i play Sanbox Games on this, like No Mans Sky on the 770 16GB

A short comparison in 1080p MAX Out:
2060 12GB some stutters cause to many GPU RAM load mostly on 60 FPS
770 16GB no stutter at all and on the half of the refreshrate of the screen 72FPS to 144Hz.

The A770 is shaping up to being a good card and I look forward to intels next gpus. Battlemage is it?

 

[lexluthermiester]

Yup and the rumors that they're going to take Intel to another new level seem to be very reasonable.

Good. Glad. We need the competition. I was honestly surprised to see so many who were wishing failure. Yes, Intel can suck as a company but 1 more player to the field is important. Especially since Intel is chasing the price to performance rather than outright performance.

 

[Blitzkuchen]

Here, A380, A750 and A770

Get wrecked AMDNVIDIA

Another feature from Intel is not AV1, it is Quicksync u can use it with INTEL IGP or dedicated GPU
QuickSync is much more better than NVNC

Wondering what people's experience with Adobe is? I read Puget Labs article, but it didn't satisfy me as it had early drivers and they wont update the article. I know games have gotten better with the updates, but does anyone know of Adobe app performance with the new drivers? I use the Premeire/Photoshop elements suite (I have the pro versions too, through my work, but when I need to be efficient, I use Elements cuz its interface is just faster for me. My RTX 3090 works great of course and a GTX 1060 works well enough in my secondary rig, but I am looking into ARC to replace my aging 1060 6GB.

Thanks in advance.

Non-existant here. I don't do software-as-a-service subscription crap. Never will. I strongly disagree with software rental type business models. Eff Adobe.

There are a number of Youtubers who complain about Premier STILL not being optimized for high core-count CPU's and modern GPU's. Adobe doesn't seem to care about a quality product like they did back when they had to compete in a retail market.

Which is why I purchase the Elements version. Got tired of reupping every year. I get the pro apps through work, I only use em if there is something missing from Elements I need, which is rare enough. My 12700k/64gb/3090 works great, and my 11900k/32gb/1060 is okay with the gpu lacking the most. I guess Ill find another site to ask on...

Wait, they have stand-alone software that is actually functional and doesn't require an internet connection? I thought they got rid of it all?

Photoshop Elements is a simplified alternative to Photoshop CC. I can see it still being useful to a lot of photographers but it loses most of the complex editing and creation features in PS. The overall interface is more reminiscent of say, Acrobat, than Creative Cloud apps. I like that it's not a subscription, but the $99 price tag for what it is, not so much.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

I'm pretty sure PS is coded using CUDA, with OpenCL very much taking a back seat. Meaning that anything outside of Nvidia is going to suck, unfortunately.

If anyone knows different, I am happy to stand corrected.

While those are not subscription based, they still require an online connection, an unacceptable form of DRM.

There are much better alteratives to Adobe's product line-up.

Ive used adobe products for 20 years, no turning back now... Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, it's hard to make any change when you are used to and well versed on a piece of software. I wish you luck on this.

Adobe is like smoking, a habit you should be encouraged to break...

 

[jallenlabs]

I have worse habits...

I was just being a smart-a$$.

On a high note, it would seem that Adobe is utilizing the ARC GPU lineup to accelerate processing in all of their software.
