Intel Lowers ARC A750 Pricing towards $250, adds bundle and claim driver fine wine

of course the drivers won't be fine wine, but the A770 16GB in 350 USD looks really sweet, i want one of this cards for my personal things in unreal engine (that editor eats VRAM like pancakes, especially rendering cinematics), but this days i don't even have a PC to use it.

 

They need to cut the A770 by $50 if it's possible, even if it means they have to cost-cut the "Limited Edition" which is pointlessly overbuilt/convoluted. 3rd party ones are coming in well over $350 USD which is a no-go.

 

Strange that they lowered just the A750, and not the whole range.

 

Its not a bad card for 250$. It might be even better option than rx6600.

 

In theory, yes.
But to have seen both in use, in real life, the RX 6600 seem faster.
Not that the A750 is bad (it is a nice card) but the driver seem ball and chain for this GPU.

 

My guess is the A770 is selling well enough to enthusiasts and the lower-tier models are being sold to OEMs. So that leaves the A750 in this awkward middle ground of something that neither enthusiasts or OEMs want.

It too Intel long enough to realize they need to lower prices to entice buyers, specially when AMD and Nvidia provide a much better experience.

 

Nice, but I'll buy a 16 GB GPU, IF I will upgrade from my RX580 fine wine.
When a 16GB ARC will be less priced, I'll be interested.

 

If the game bundle only applies to certain pre-built PCs (that have the A750 card), it hasn't got anything to do with the grapics card, per se. It belongs to the PC. I feels like Intel hasn't quite noticed how graphics card game bundles work.

 

rx6600 is only faster at 1080p but on 1440p A750 pulls ahead. It also does better raytracing.

 

Intel Arc Cards = bad with Xemu, Xenia = No buy.

 

In EU you can get a 4090 "already" for €1799.- (can this be the original MSRP?). I would take an A770 LE 16GB if the price drops to €300.- .
Just a few weeks ago I would have said €350.-

 

I'm thinking about buying one just to mess around with it. I'm pretty excited about a 3rd company entering the GPU space.

 

It would be fun to have one to play with in my mini itx rig.

 

Is intel outperforming AMD when it comes to raytracing already? I haven't seen these stats, if it's true that's bad news for AMD and Nvidia. Good news for us the consumer.

 

I haven't seen any specifics, but i'd honestly be surprised if intel wasn't. Intel did what nvidia did, put ray tracing hardware into the GPU, whereas AMD has yet to do so.

Edit: looking at benchmarks that would appear to be the case, the A770, price wise, would go up against the 6600/XT

 

You can't make fine wine out of vinegar.

 

They're also smoothing out the frametimes apparently, which is better than just getting higher framerates. Imagine them getting to the point where things just work so relatively soon.
