Sandy Bridge Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Not sure how global this launch will be, but Intel is launching the A770 in the U.S. on October 12th for $330: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-arc-a770-launching-oct-12-starting-at-dollar329 So who's gonna buy one and see how it does? I'll admit I'll probably buy a Radeon instead, seems risky from a drivers standpoint to buy Arc Alchemist this generation. But I'll be curious to read the reviews. Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be running a system with an AMD CPU and an Intel GPU instead of Intel CPU+AMD GPU as I run today... 1 Desktop: Core i5 2500k "Sandy Bridge" | RX 480 | 32 GB DDR3 | 850 Evo + HDDs | Seasonic 650W | Noctua Fans | 8.1 Pro Laptop: MSI Alpha 15 | Ryzen 5800H | Radeon 6600M | 16 GB DDR4 | 512 GB SSD | 10 Home Laptop history: MSI GL63 (2018) | HP EliteBook 8740w (acq. 2014) | Dell Inspiron 1520 (2007) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturnotaku Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 If I still had my 9700K desktop, I'd be all over this, but I don't know how nicely an A770 is going to play in an AMD-based machine LOL.

ssj92 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna get A770 not only because it may be a limited edition gpu but mainly because Intel ARC has the best media engine out of all 3 gpu makers. Believe it or not, even better than RTX 4090 media engine LOL This is only useful for video editors of course. In gaming it's around 3060-3060Ti. Might reach 3070 when drivers mature.

electrosoft Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I've been running an Asrock A380 since launch.....I suspect A770 will do just fine. Drivers are still sus. Superposition still won't run right for benching. I use that to judge each release to see how Intel is doing with older(ish) benchmarks and DX. 5 hours ago, jaybee83 said: best media engine when it actually works though....regarding drivers 😅 plus ure taking a gamble on mid to long term support. Intel is all in because it is also their long term iGX and top end technology strategy. The question is will they continue to use the technology to offer consumer grade GPUs.

ryan Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 at a fundamental level. intel joining the fray is a good thing as it will drive gpu prices down and performance up....3 cheers to moores law coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnotaku Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Looks like Acer is getting in on the GPU market with their own A770 design. It actually looks pretty interesting. At some point in the future, I'd maybe like to build an all-Intel mini-ITX destop. Not that I necessarily want the Arc itself but more to support having a third horse in the GPU race. https://videocardz.com/newz/acer-shows-off-predator-arc-a770-graphics-card 3 Desktop: Ryzen 9 5950X | 32 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 4070 | 2 TB SSD | Windows 10 Lenovo Legion Pro 7i: Core i9-13900HX | 32 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 4080 | 2 TB SSD | Windows 11 Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Gaming: Ryzen 7 6800H | 16 GB RAM | GeForce RTX 3050 | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro: Ryzen 5 5600U | 16 GB RAM | Radeon Graphics | 512 GB SSD | Windows 11 Apple iPad Gen 9: A13 Bionic | 3 GB RAM | 64 GB | iPadOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I have to agree. intel moving in is a really good thing. @saturnotaku as a NBR vet what is your take on Intel moving into the gpu market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
