    5700X3D AliExpress: Legit?

    Even at $225 that 5700X3D is a stonkin' deal. I own the 5800X3D... bought it on Amazon during one of the sales when it came down to $290. Given the choice between those two CPU at the prices quoted, I'd take the 5700X3D any day of the week and twice on Sundays. Don't get me wrong...they're both...

    decided to try Intel ARC 770 16GB card

    I think some of the people having so-called issues with ARC simply have not properly configured their systems. Was there some strangeness at launch and known anomalies due to drivers? Sure there were. I had a few early on that would actually GSOD right at the system data collecting phase during...

    Intel Arc A770m - Current state of drivers and game support for Arc in general?

    PC Power and Cooling came out with a white paper years ago, addressing the importance of higher amps on the +12 volt rail in power supplies. They also spoke at length about modular power supplies and the effects of constantly disconnecting cables, as it relates to high resistance at the...

    Intel Arc A770m - Current state of drivers and game support for Arc in general?

    Your power supply findings bring up an interesting point. I wonder what the many reviewers had for pwer supplies in their test benches.

    Intel ARC A750 & A770 Reviews

    This level of VR is okay in my book for that A770 at $290. I absolutely love the smoothness of the card. https://youtu.be/TZ0lyvHt73Q?si=Xhdy25yFAOMYc2wX

    Anybody else looking forward to the Battlemage release?

    100% true. Those bad initial drivers put Intel into a deeper hole than they needed at launch. It was always going to be an uphill battle due to it being the first discrete in a while. Battlemage cannot repeat that scenario.

    Anybody else looking forward to the Battlemage release?

    I am. Love my A770-16. It has been 'rock's stable and fast. I have not encountered any stuttering whatsoever...in any of the titles I run. Most of those titles are 2012-2013.

    Intel ARC A750 & A770 Reviews

    The A750 shouldn't even be mentioned sentence as the RTX4060. It is not even in the same ballpark pricewise and yet here we are... I run my A770 on a B450 with re-sizeable bar on, XMP and PBO off. The RAM timings are set to DDR4-3600, 1T, CAS 16, 19, 19, 36 at 1.38 volts. I have no instability...

    I don't do regular gaming....just racing simulations. The videos were for the benefit of guys who do the same and are considering ARC cards. They're plenty of gaming benchmarks. Seek those out with Google.
