Intel Arc A750 Graphics

Product Information

The Intel Core i5-13400 inside the Maingear MG-1, however, is one of the better budget processors offering strong gaming and synthetic performance overall. Considering the relatively budget price of this machine, the company definitely made the right call going with the Raptor Lake CPU instead of opting for an older Alder Lake version. Despite the fact there's a good chance you're getting actual Alder Lake cores, and therefore not necessarily Raptor Cove P-cores and their extra cache (Intel use both Alder Lake and Raptor Lake dies for the 13400-series) you do get more cores for your money compared to the Core i5 12400 and consequently more cache because of it. For gaming at 1080p and 1440p, you're absolutely in good hands here. The only real disadvantage of these cards is their DX9 and DX11 performance, graphics APIs that have become much less popular over the last five years but make up a large proportion of older games. Here, the Intel GPUs are hamstrung by a relatively immature driver and performance suffers as a result. Similarly, you shouldn't get the Arc GPUs if your system doesn't support Resizeable BAR, a technology that allows more direct access to GPU memory - without it enabled, performance tanks. Thankfully, most motherboards made in the last three plus years do support the feature. What are the prices of the Arc A770 and A750?

The margin in performance between the Intel Arc series of cards here and the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 XT is actually less at 1400p as opposed to 1080p, but regardless, in AAA titles such as Gears 5, you'll be able to grab an average output of 60fps at 1440p, and 83fps at 1080p, which is solid.

Where Does This Price Drop Leave Intel's Graphics Cards?

Of course, our full review on both the Arc A770 and A750 will give you all the details you need as to how fast these cards are, but in short, they'll be more than good enough for those who want solid 1080p gaming. The A770 is comparable to an RTX 3060 and an RX 6600 XT in terms of price and performance, as is the A750 too, which actually offered benchmark results that were rather similar to the A770, with a percentage margin of between three and 10 percent in favour of the A770. You hate troubleshooting: We've had serious errors just in testing this machine, and the inconsistent Intel Arc drivers will likely require some troubleshooting on your part down the line, too.

Intel revealed pricing for the Arc GPUs in a new presentation, which includes benchmarks showing the Arc A750 can trade blows and sometimes beat the RTX 3060 in several games running at 1440p, including Fortnite, Elden Ring, and Apex Legends. Have a AMD 6000 series and this, A770 for the comparative price of what is can do / process according to a comparsion with with one of steams major gfx test apps. The AMD top range 6950 XT in a 4k test got about 9000 and this got 6500 roughly, So as you can see for price as to what you get is great and a lot of games will run on this absolutely fine. I really don't know why the gaming desktop community ain't catching on. Yes driver may need time, yes i don't know what its like for mining. As for sound the A770 is nearly silent, i here the CPU fan over the card fan for air cooling. The only reason i bought it, is because i once ran a game off of the integrated GFX of an INTEL CPU by accident and noticed "smeg" all difference, so i wanted to see what their offering could do. I am not disappointed in this card all all and just hope it gets the support from the community and company it should have.

But AMD's RX 6600 still stands strong

I really do want Intel to stay in the GPU market. Having a third competitor will be good. Hopefully Battlemage rights many of the wrongs in Alchemist.

Intel's Arc series of GPUs has meant that it's now a three horse race as Team Blue looks to provide a formidable alternative to the longstanding dichotomy between AMD and Nvidia's entries that gamers have faced for ages. To help you decide whether they're worth a go, we've rounded up everything you need to know about the Arc A770 and A750, from their price and performance to where you can actually buy them in the US, UK, Canada and Europe. Yup, to rephrase that - the RTX 3060 is outclassed by around 20 percent by the Arc A750, yet this card is significantly cheaper. If I was in the market for an entry-level gaming PC build targeting 1080p, this is the graphics card I'd choose.So, without further ado, here's all the important things you need to know about the Arc A770 and A750 GPUs, including where to buy them, their prices and a whole lot more.

Create compelling content, powered by the first graphics card with support for all current leading media formats, and keep yourself up to date with the most advanced AV1 video encode capabilities. My biggest concern is future support. They said they're committed to dGPUs, but this product line clearly didn't live up to their expectations. Unless we're all being horribly lied to on GPU pricing, it doesn't seem like Intel is making much/any money on the A750/770. Certainly not as much as they'd hoped. If next gen is a flop also.....who knows, maybe they call it quits. Then what? Would they still provide driver updates? For how long?

Factoring in the price point, the mediocre specs, and the inconsistent nature of the Intel Arc A750 in its current form, I can't really recommend this particular build to anyone, even if they are on a tight budget. While the 1080p and 1440p performance is solid when it works, the number of crashes I encountered and the difficulties with game stability in general mean that you're ultimately better off investing in a rig that's running something from Team Green or Red instead at a similar or even slightly higher price point.

Now, while it's true you can simply open the case up and slot an extra NVMe drive in there, that really shouldn't be the case for a computer costing over a thousand dollars, not when many of its rivals ship with 1TB as standard. It makes me seriously question just how viable this machine really is for the future as an investment in the PC gaming space, because it's already showing signs of struggling right now.The games did eventually run, but stability wasn't exactly guaranteed. When changing the target resolution from 1080p to 1440p for testing purposes it would often result in a crash or the A750 itself would encounter "fatal errors" due to issues with the 8GB DDR6 VRAM. It made using this machine a frustrating experience in a way I've never seen from a budget build before. This reduced price helps with the latter issue, but again, Intel claims that it’s made significant headway into resolving its driver issues, too. Intel claims an average 43% performance gain on DirectX 9 with its new driver compared with the Arc A750’s launch driver. Improvements in select titles, like CS:GO, are listed to be even higher, at 77%, with frame times also improving considerably to deliver a more consistent experience. Because both the A750 and A770 can have a lower price over Nvidia’s RTX 3060, Intel is emphasizing the “performance per dollar” uplift consumers will receive if they opt for an Arc graphics card. TBH, not an unexpected outcome for their first product. The DX12 emulation was a strange choice, forward-thinking sure, but not at that much cost to older games they know reviewers are still testing on. Was wishing/hoping Intel's R&D budget could've gotten a little closer to market parity (I'm sure they did also for pricing) but I don't know what their R&D budget was for this project. Seems like their experience in IGP R&D could've been better extrapolated into discrete cards, but apparently not. When we first reviewed the card, we weren't able to test the AAA game Red Dead Redemption 2 (a staple of our test regimen) but, with the new driver, this game now works normally. We also tried to run the legacy title Sleeping Dogs (another DX11 one), but that game continues to crash during the benchmarking process.
