A770

Intel’s discrete GPUs are the new kids on the block and have to prove themselves worthy. Intel’s A770 GPU took a huge step in that direction, as shown in a recent benchmark test that demonstrates surprisingly strong performance in high-resolution video playback, outperforming Nvidia’s best GPU, the GeForce RTX 4090. In an extreme stress test, the CapFrameX team played back a super high-quality YouTube video showing aerial footage of several cities in Japan and recorded the frame rates from three different GPUs. The…

The developer of CapFrameX, a famous capture, and analysis tool, has published a performance comparison (opens in new tab) of AMD's Radeon RX 6800 XT (RDNA 2), Intel's Arc A770 (Alchemist), and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090 (Ampere) and GeForce RTX 4090 (Ada Lovelace) in AV1 video encoding in at 8K resolution. The results he obtained are pretty surprising.The best graphics cards, like Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090 or RTX 4090, offer formidable performance in demanding games in high resolutions, unlike Intel's Arc A770, which…

Intel has revitalized the midrange graphics card market with the company's latest Arc A770, which will make its way into the list of best graphics cards. Starting at $329, the Arc Alchemist graphics card brings GeForce RTX 3060-like performance to the table with Resizable BAR (ReBAR) enabled, of course. But, without ReBAR or similar technology like Smart Access Memory (SAM), it's another story.With Arc, Intel recommends potential consumers make sure their systems support ReBAR or SAM. The chipmaker has been very open…

Intel Arc A770 MSRP $350.00 “The Arc A770 and A750 make a big splash for Intel's entry into the GPU market.” Pros Great 1080p and 1440p gaming performance Competitive ray tracing performance Relatively inexpensive Cons Resizable BAR is necessary XeSS needs some work…

Intel Arc Alchemist is here, and the flagship comes in two different versions: Arc A770 16GB and Arc A770 8GB. Both of these GPUs have been compared to Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti, but how do they really match up? For many years, the GPU arena has been a two horse race; Dominated by AMD and Nvidia, it lacked any extra competition. Now, with Intel joining the fray, do these two industry stalwarts need to start worrying? We’ve tested both Intel Arc and Nvidia extensively, so we have all the answers. Read…

Image Credit: Devindra Hardawar/Engadget The Arc A770 was within reach of the RTX 3070 Ti's Time Spy Extreme score, a card that launched at $599 (and sold for much more) last year. It also proved to be a decent ray tracing contender (within reason), reaching 76 fps in Cyberpunk 2077's…

Intel’s Arc graphics cards are finally here, and they’re priced to take on Nvidia’s popular RTX 3060 for budget PC gamers. Starting at $289, there’s the Arc A750 for some 1080p gaming, or you can step up to the $329 A770 if you want a little extra power for 1440p gaming. These are impressive prices as long as Intel can actually keep them this low. If it can, then pricing will really be the whole story of Intel’s Arc push.Intel isn’t attempting to take on Nvidia or AMD’s top-end cards. Instead, it’s aiming at the…

The Intel Arc A770 and A750 Limited Edition review kit has arrived, and we're now allowed to show you pictures and videos of the kit. Of course, this is sort of dumb since lots of other places have been doing unboxing videos for a month or more, including Intel. Still, we're excited to finally have Intel's "real" competitor for the best graphics cards in the house (because Intel DG1 and Arc A380 don't really count in my book), and we'll be working on testing for the review over the coming days.Intel revealed the official…

Out of nowhere, Acer has announced its entry into the graphics card market officially, with the introduction of its Predator BiFrost GPU on Twitter today. Surprisingly, it's not an Nvidia or AMD-powered graphics card but one featuring Intel's new Arc A770 flagship GPU.The card itself is very striking and features a design we've never seen before. It incorporates a blower-style fan in the middle and a much larger non-blower fan design to the right. This gives the card a unique aesthetic, with two very different-looking…

Intel Arc A750 and A770 are about to reset pricing expectations on October 12. Intel Arc Alchemist has been in development for several years, and after delays and misstarts, we're finally in the home stretch. The Arc A770 and A750 will launch on October 12, and they're setting their sights firmly on the midrange market for the best graphics cards.Intel provided additional details on what we'll see when the cards arrive in just a couple of weeks. Earlier this week, during the Intel Innovation keynote, Intel CEO Pat…
