Biggest Leap Ever - Intel GPU Update
Alright so there's been a ton of rumors about Intel’s upcoming Battlemage GPUs which should be launching actually in not that long anymore, and I will discuss battlemage in more detail a bit later in the video, but I think battlemage could be a huge turning point for Intel graphics, as not only is it expected to be a massive leap in performance, but the drivers should be significantly better than what we got with Arc.
Look, I’m sure you heard about Arc drivers being bad at launch, and believe me, they were, but today is a completely different story. In fact the Arc A770 today is a completely different class of GPU than it was when it launched.
To prove it I decided to test the A770 on its latest drivers vs the launch ones, and you are not gonna believe the difference.
And in order to do so I reached out to Intel for an Arc A770, which not only did they provide, but they actually sent over a whole test system, but I don’t really need more computers, so that’s not gonna change my opinion, in fact I’ll be giving away the Arc A770 to a random commenter on this video, and I’ll be upgrading a friends computer with the rest of the desktop.
Speaking of which, let's quickly go over the specs of my test system, so we can head into the games to get an idea of how much Arc has improved, and what this means for Battlemage.

@@Neo-31 Judging by reviews it may be a scam site, he may be unaware of it because it's a gray market, so the bad reviews are starting to come out as Microsoft blocks keys not meant for reselling when they tell you they are legitimate. I would drop them as a sponsor from what I have read.

[@UltimateGattai]

I hope Battlemage is everything we hope it is and more, we need some decent competition badly, otherwise Nvidia will just continue to run rampant, and they've proven on multiple occasions that they will do the dodgy at the drop of a hat (remember the memory fiasco where they replace some of the faster Ram with slower Ram in a GPU some generations ago?).

[@lordwurst9331]

Im not usually someone who buys intel but i hope for them to succeed in cpus and gpus so we get more competition.

[@freudia]

I used an A750 for most of 2023 and it was a great card, especially if you find it at $180 (unfortunately it's been mostly $210 post-Black Friday). If there was a downside, it was the moderately high power draw. I hope Battlemage cards will have a simpler design to take apart so that they'll be easier to maintain.

[@WillWasHere602]

Really shows Intel's dedication to their Arc lineup, they may have lost some reputation with some of their customers in the past but seeing that they're showing no signs of giving up and letting the only 2 graphics giants duke it out with insanely priced cards (I'm looking at you Jensen), I'm rooting for Team Blue (I am in fact an Intel UHD user...) so they can hopefully convince AMD and Nvidia to bring down their prices too. Looking to get a PC for my birthday, and I'm getting me an Arc for sure!

[@DainHunter]

Damn son. I stopped using UHD when CSGO got an annoying graphics upgrade in like 2017, leaving me to have terrible fps.

[@WillWasHere602]

@@DainHunter Man I loved playing CSGO until CS2 rolled around, Valve completely replaced the thing and overhauled the graphics and now even with FSR Ultra Perf its not even 720p 30fps (edit: and even with fsr ultra perf it looks like absolute dogshit). I'm learning Blender and Godot and while my laptop does struggle sometimes I know tech moves forward with time so the only thing I can do is stay with 2D games and GTA 4 or get a proper PC build, which I'm absolutely stoked to getting.

[@vargulfen]

I agree except I don't think AMD and Nvidia are truly duking it out. I think there is some underhanded price fixing going on.

[@WillWasHere602]

@@vargulfen I live in Canada, specifically Alberta so yes in US and more towards Ontario and Quebec prices would probably be more stable but here, the local used market is completely dry, even in Calgary where I live 20 minutes from there are no good PC part deals, and I hate seeing amazing eBay deals realising the shipping from the US costs as much as the part itself. The whole reason I couldn't get a PC this Christmas is because of the prices and stores just not stocking enough PC parts. It's a shame.

[@leagueaddict8357]

Nvidia might not be around for GPU's in 10 years, or it could be a small off branch, they are more invested into AI it seems.

Cool coverage on the launch vs now drivers. I'm super interested in an a770 (and even moreso in battlemage) so it's cool seeing this info. Thanks!

[@bmwb10ix]

[@Dhruv-qw7jf]

It's not even in just games. Intel Arc has gotten so much better in creative workloads such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve. They are better than 4060 and 4060 Ti in those applications. They just need to work on 3D rendering workloads now, and they will overthrow Nvidia as the de-facto mainstream creator GPUs.

[@user-bw6sl1sk7h]

It's good to see Intel taking this seriously. Hopefully this will help GPU prices fall, and get some actual competition going

[@BRONSON422]

Heya! Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date with the Intel GPU content. Despite the chaos of their initial launch I super hyped to hear about how they'd support their architects, engineers and most importantly their products. Thanks again for all of your work with benchmarking and discussions.

[@SFAJmz05]

Why on earth does every talking head say that Nvidia needs to be worried as if AMD doesn't exist? It's so funny that this keeps happening.

[@Dhruv-qw7jf]

AMD has shown their willingness to respond to market pressure by lowering their price and/or releasing newer, more competitive products. Nvidia.. eh, not so much.

[@gs-pd5ox]

Because AMD gave up on ‘competing’. AMD is solely focused on price to performance at the moment. They make a flagship that is just better than Nvidias mid tier for within $100 but $300 cheaper than the next step up. Intel is allegedly gunning for that same space for 2/3 the price. 4070 ti/7900xtx/4080 for $850-$1200. Or Intels next gen which would roughly match that performance for less than $600. Only time will tell.

[@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1]

Because AMD does not exist to people who use their computer for more than gaming or surfing the web, bud. Nvidia/Intel builds are for serious PC users. I recommend any person who wants to game & to surf the web to use AMD parts, there is nothing wrong with AMD for gamers & end user/web surfers. It is like how people who ONLY want to play games can do just fine with a console & use their phone or tablet for the web. Anyone who does more than gaming/web browser on their PC should always build with intel CPU & nvidia GPU. Maybe all intel will be a thing soon, I would still suggest nvidia cards for pro users until I see the same level of [productivity/creative] software support for ARC, though.

[@breedlofam]

Nvidia is the current market leader, that's why. If Intel can release a card within the year that competes with the 4070-4070 Super, which it appears on track to do, and at the pricing they're currently at for the A770...it would disrupt Nvidia entirely. While I don't think the pricing would last forever, for a couple generations we as gamers and creators could reap the benefits of powerful cards at affordable prices

[@AurasV]

​@@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1LMAO no

[@notreal5311]

Super excited to see a new viable challenger to Team Red and Team Green! Thanks for covering the difference between old vs new drivers - in the market for a new GPU currently - currently rocking a 1060 6GB from 2017 lol.

[@stoissdk]

Yes, I'm stoked for this. I've been looking at the 7800 cards from AMD, as an alternative upgrade path to Nvidias cards. However my main gripe with these cards, is that they seem more like a "rehash" of older cards, with no significant jump in performance at the same price point. Hopefully Intel can stir things up with their 2nd gen Battlemage and if they prove they can keep the drivers updated, I might just give Intels cards a shot for the first time in my life.

[@davidvalentin4128]

They are rehashes, amd is also trying to see what they can get away with which is why when the 40series super variants come out, they are in trouble.. Amd is dropping a 7600xt etc, & will have to drop prices for the current lineup

[@DualPerformance]

The 770 turned out to be an RTX 3060 competitor, improved significantly after one yearr of drivers upgrades, hope in the next architecture they put a proper dx11 support to avoid the emulated instructions, they also need to be more consistent between all games, some dx12 games still have those intel cards underperforming

[@tr1p1ea]

I've recently been working through a lot of driver sources lately (not for high end GPUs) and it's amazing the difference they can make. The differences in this video are amazing!

[@tacticoolsteve]

Can not wait to see what intel does with the new gpus and how they perform in benchmarks. Intel is def learning pretty fast . Seeing things with the ARC A770 it looks really good.

[@SuperJamesus]

I’d give the arc a go, seems to be moving in the right direction. Needs more game dev support out of the gate atm

[@PixelatedWolf2077]

It seems Intel is very consistent with making performance better by a bit with each update and it's just a 1st gen product. Their new laptop ARC gpus are supposedly very good when it comes to performance

The ARC series was super tempting for me, but the main reason I've been even thinking about upgrading is for VR stuff as that's the only really demanding kind of video stuff I even do. That being said, I know they have struggled with compatibility, which had me tentative about swapping over just yet. I also am a bit handcuffed in that I need Nvidia capabilities for a 3D scanner I just got, so not really sure what that is going to mean down the road. Guess I can always just run dual cards and only have my 2060 for number crunching, but will have to see.

Being Intel's 1st premier card into modern gaming, it is a compelling story. The price for performance is better than the competition and the commitment to improving the user experience and building the necessary know how to be in the modern gaming GPU space is readily apparent. The big question is, for the next major release can they capitalize on this for day 1 (or within 30-90 days) great experience, or will we watch a mediocre initial deployment followed by a continually improving set of drivers?

[@Ittsywa]

7:50 - Actually Intel do get a second chance to make a first impression with Battlemage, since intel properly communicated that there may be teething problems with ARC thereby managing people's expectations of the GPU.

[@SupraSav]

Used to be a huge Intel fan(CPUs), been loving AMD the last few years though. Attempted to love AMD GPUs but the 7900XTX was a mess at launch. Now I'm hoping Intel comes in swinging with this new series of GPUs! Competition is good, it's needed. I'm really glad Intel didn't throw in the towel after one lukewarm GPU release and stuck with it. I think Intel is learning how to perfect drivers at high pace, and I think the next couple releases will only get better and better. I'm interested to see where architecture goes after windows 11/next gen. I think the uplift from DDR6/GDDR7 will be sufficient to upgrade from AM4
