I Used an Intel Arc A750 For One Month - Is it Any Good?

Hello there and welcome to my video. In today's video, I'll be reviewing and benchmarking the Intel Arc A750 that I have been running as my main graphics card in my personal system for a little over one month now. I'll go through gaming results as well as a little bit of productivity and talk about what I think of the card.

I've owned the A770-16 since late December 2022.
I find it to be extremely smooth and stable...not a single in-game crash or black screen on my end.
I also use mine in VR on an HP Reverb G2 for simracing.

Bought an A750 a few months ago for $200 for my GF, and had a 6650XT to compare it to. Surprisingly the A750 outperforms it in most modern games while costing less, only a few titles had issues. XeSS is better than FSR 2, ray tracing performance is better, and the video encoding performance and quality was better too. I am eager for more Intel Arc products, the new IGP in Meteor Lake and Battlemage next year, as I was very impressed with Intel's offering.

As a user Davinci Resolve as my main editing software. Your review especially make me 100% (from 80%) convince to get ARC series on my system. The moment you said your timeline is 4K timeline and doing great with ARC, im done. I got this card. I only play 2 esports title game, which is CS2 and Dota 2. No problem. Thanks mate, appreciate ur test. keep the good work.

Another great video! Well done! I like that you brought something different to the table with your views on the card. I am happy that Intel is entering the GPU space and shaking things up with its competitive pricing! More competition is always good for the consumer!

Definitely did NOT waste my time watching this, thank you for creating this!
I bought Asrocks A750 some time ago for AV1 work and did quite a bit of testing with it and I do like to point out that there are few other + and - to encoding AV1 with hardware, but for time saved it truly is the future. I'd recommend everyone looking into AV1 read a bit into the benefits and disadvantages of hardware acceleration for video work/compression/efficiency. =)

Awesome. At least on my internet feed, gaming pc has totally taken over

This is in-line with what I think. A PC that won’t have trouble with productivity demands, and also performs well for gaming

If I wanted to spend more money on a PC, of course it makes sense to get that juicy performance

But ultimately it’s been really confusing when the considerations towards productivity software is so shallowly mentioned and not touched on properly

This video alone gave me much better insights into it

love mine. the odd issue with drivers but runs butter smooth now. great value

Had an A770 16GB LE from Intel for a month.
Aside from War Thunder and some unique productivity apps. It's a perfectly good card in place of a 3060ti. My 3060ti died and the A770's increased memory improved my overall experience, minus the artefacts common in War Thunder.

I do have an RX 7900 XTX now but if I didn't have that, I'd definitely say get a 16GB A770 if you can. It's that memory that makes the GPU even better, even when you don't think it would compared to the 8GB A770.

As for what I had (and still have) when I had that card a month ago. It's similar to the specs in the video.

i9-10900F (Factory Settings)
128GB DDR4 3000MHz - Kingston Fury
Resizable BAR Enabled

Great and thorough video. Intel have fixed the Halo Master Chief Collection as of driver 4953.

[l.i.archer]

The latest Arc drivers from 10/22 installed on my Arc A770 16GB has boosted my Halo MCC fps in Halo 3 to 120 fps with dips no lower than 72 fps, whereas the previous driver could only give me 80 unstable fps, and dipping as low as 21 fps at times.

When it comes to RT in FH5, the reason the performance difference is so negligible is because the RT implementation in that game is basically barely there, especially on the high setting that you used where it's exclusively used in the car showroom part of the game with no difference in actual gameplay. To properly test RT you need to go to the ultra or extreme setting which actually engages in the open world, but even then it's only used for car reflections I believe.

I've bee using the A750 LE for 5 months in my main rig.
B350 + Ryzen 5600 + 32GB 3800C18
I have less issues than with the 2060S and the RX6600 and I'm not even using it for any production.
It's just stable and quiet, sure some drivers could have been better optimized, but Intel is working on it, which will make it age even better.
It's definitely a 1440p card if you are fine with low-medium and while raytracing works well on it you still wouldn't want to turn it on, it's simply not worth it unless running at 4k and can still get over 60FPS.
Latest driver 4887 was not WHQL cerified at first which could have been why it wasn't found.

I just got this same card for 170 new . Great card for that price. Runs better then my 2060 super so far. Only issue I have so far is the same as you with the driver updates so I just check the site often.

[williamhammond]

I think it looks really good. I prefer a clean design like that.

[lordshitpost]

A750 LE here, besides Starfield I haven't had any issue at all. Gives 3060 performance at 250$, great bang for buck, not to mention it is frigging solid in terms of build quality and cooling.

I bought my A770 about a year ago start of 2023. At that time in my opinion it passed the point where it worked. 4 months ago when this video was made it was lot better and now we see channels comparing it to 4060 and above in some cases and productivity it is like $1000 cards would give the same. Yet I feel there is +20% still on the table. Not to talk about Intel Application Optimization (APO) that is predicted to give 10-50% jump with Battlebage/14th gen CPU but this to become a thing most likely we are looking 2025 and beyond with Celestial but it should boost the Alchemist also. I see A750/A770 being in PC's 10 years from now still giving enough performance.

Switched to a new mic, sorry if there's any weirdness in the audio as I'm still perfecting my recording technique with it.

[austintea]

Im so glad you did satisfactory as that game is a large part of the reason im looking to upgrade, i hadnt heard anything about it not running in directx12, that being said i dont have a problem with directx11 as long as it runs well which it seems too

[DevilbyMoonlight]

thanks for the heads up will be considering one of these..

[chadbrick]

The drivers have got better and better. Should be interesting when they release their new gpu in 2023-2024
