Review: Intel ARC A770 16GB graphics card

OMG, HH got an A770 to review.

 

Let's all praise the silicon gods for this gift!

 

These cards are pretty good value - just you need to be able to put up with early adopter sickness... so I figure the target audience would be an enthusiast on a budget.

 

It's pretty disappointing how optimisation is focused on acing synthetic benchmarks, but otherwise it looks like a reasonable first attempt card. If only the street price was reasonable as well. I actually expected a little more from the RT side, but on the other hand, I guess the RT performance has to be in sync with the raster performance.

 

Thanks for another great review. I would like to make a suggestion:

Concerning "Bang for Buck" chart, wouldn't it be better to add your game/ app specific "Bang for Buck" quotient for each individual card? Then everyone could quickly and easily calculate their own "bang for buck" value based on the current street prices from different shops. That would be great. For a very first quick aprroximation: I would say a 4090 is ~4x faster than A770 but ~5x more expensive, based on msrp, although you can´t compare them exactly.

Edit: I know it is very difficult to compare GPUs in MSFS, but a first subjective impression would be at least helpful.

 

Had already forgotten Intel had GPUs on the market, they left quite the impact.

 

Just checked, the prices are a bit high here in DK. A 6650XT is only slightly more expensive than a Arc 750 and a Arc 770 is more expensive.

 

I need to read the review fullt in detail, for now i don't get why it got a guru3d recommended mark

 

they couldn't be bothered to send you a card at launch so you shouldn't have bothered reviewing it now.

 

Fair play - seems like good news all round for a solid mid-range performance and quality design.

 

So intel remembered guru3d exists, eh.

 

Better than 3060 as it has twice amount of memory and shame to AMD as with years of experience in making GPUs intel first ever dedicated GPU has better ray traycing performance than them.I think this card can be the new 1440p king.

 

wow

breathe slowly...

as far as 1440p goes the 7800 (non xt) and the 7700, plus the 3070 mop the floor with this card.

even so... the 2nd gen ought to be really good.

 

Problem is cards are nowhere to be found and if you do like HH mention in his review it can go high as 500eur in eu competing with 3060ti and thats just not good. I mean 3060's have dropped 350eur and 6600xt can be found for less than 300eur.

 

Thanks for the review. I hope that this delay by Intel is not repeated.

 

Awesome review as always @Hilbert Hagedoorn , thanks. Not a bad show from intel's first main stream gpu , not bad at all . It just a little late to the party , hopefully the next release of intel gpus will be on time and muche better / smoother.

 

@Hilbert Hagedoorn, on Hardware setup | Power consumption page you have duplicate RX 6800 in graphs

 

Did you sniff glue before you wrote this?
A card that has come out nearly 2 years after AMDs 1st gen ray tracing gpus does better in one damn title.
You are gonna look like a complete fool when AMD RX 7XXX gpus launch next month.

If you take the marketing RTX bullshit hype out of things. Ray Tracing is still way over hyped.
Most games do not look much better then some extra shiny objects. Big damn deal.
