Intel ARC A750 & A770 Reviews


It is not all doom and gloom.
ARC is maturing well and the price is not bad for the feature set.
 

WMR under A770...not adjusted in game and not yet optimized by Intel. Still acceptable.
 

Intel ARC A770 in Assetto Corsa at the Nords.
The card is running every racing title I currently have at better levels and fps than my previous card...for around half of the price.
It is very smooth as well in most titles.
 
all that blocking and noise from youtube? assuming so. those corner/replay shots are pretty damn convincing.

Yes on the noise and blocking....the actual gameplay footage does not have that or any stutter at all.
That A770 is extremely impressive where smoothness is concerned.
It may not be the framerate king but it more than makes up for that aspect in other areas.
I took 20 cars to Mugello...in low light...in the rain...with lots of spray during this test.
Most GPUs 'choke' with any amount of spray...furthermore the other two elements.
That card churned through it all at almost broadcast smoothness.
Here's a sample....
Watch things like the pit-wall, the curbs, the fences, other cars, etc... go by the car.
Again...some smoothness was lost on the YT upload.

I will take this level of performance any day of the week for $349 over an 8 or 12 GB card with a narrow cut-down bus.
Every title I've run to date is smooth.
It may not have the peak fps as the RTX3060Ti or the RX6600 but I'll take the 'fluid' running all day and twice on Sunday over those two.
I have not had a single in game crash either with that A770...not one.
Is the card 100% perfect? No
I still have to manually install drivers but that also gives me the option over what I want to install.
I don't have any annoyance messages because I simply do not install the ARC Control Center.

How many games have you played? Any particularly older games?
 
Building a system later this week with a A770 16Gb, ASRock B760 Steel Legend and a i5-12400. Be interesting to see how the card does.

Got it put together last night. So far underwhelmed by the A770. Granted only tried one game ( PGA 2K23) and DX11 performance is woefully bad. My usual FPS on the other systems I have it on (I run at 4K@60Hz on all) are in the 70-100 range, get 33 with the 770. May try to install DXVK as that game runs great under Arch Linux using it.

For the money these cards are only getting better. If I didn't already have a 3080, or were building a budget rig, they would at least be on the list.
 
I've already started a return. Getting flashing screen when I have it connected to the LG 4K TV in our bedroom which is where the system is located. Tried a HDMI to DP cable, no signal at all from the DP ports on the A770. Read something yesterday about another possible price drop on the ARC cards, I can see why.

DP to HDMI can be trial and error in getting a working brand. Do those same DP to HDMI cables work on a different GPU, with the same display?
Another thing to note, is that some of those cables only work 'one way'. So, if you have it backwards, it won't ever work.

Actually I've decided to keep the card. Got a Cable Matters active DP to HDMI adapter and that fixed the issue. Works fine now connected to the LG 4K TV.

The card does want I need it to do, will play the games I want at 55-70FPS using DXVK. Using a i5-12400, ASRock B760M Steel Legend wifi mobo. Running the latest 4255 driver for the A770.

Can we see footage of something other than racing games......

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.
