Intel's Arc graphics cards have quietly become excellent | Digital Trends

Intel's Arc A770 and A750 were decent, if imperfect, GPUs at launch, but they've massively improved since then.

"Intel’s Arc A770 and A750 were decent at launch, but over the past few months, they’ve started to look like some of the best graphics cards you can buy if you’re on a budget. Disappointing generational improvements from AMD and Nvidia, combined with high prices, have made it hard to find a decent GPU around $200 to $300 — and Intel’s GPUs have silently filled that gap.

They don’t deliver flagship performance, and in some cases, they’re just straight-up worse than the competition at the same price. But Intel has clearly been improving the Arc A770 and A750, and although small driver improvements don’t always make a splash, they’re starting to add up."

    It was extremely close between the 6700xt and the A770 for me when I was picking my GPU for my virtualized windows gaming PC. The only reason I went with the 6700xt was because I knew it’d work. I think if Intel sticks this out and actually releases some new cards, they could easily become a decent competitor to AMD and Nvidia for cards the majority of people actually buy. I know in myself part of the reason I didn’t pick Intel this time around was fear that they’d just give up and leave me with an abandoned card.
