The Intel Arc A770 16GB - Budget 16GB GPU?

[@jannemann_17g90]

Bought a 2 week old Arc A770 Sparkle for 180€ and im completely happy with it. Using it on 1440P with 0 Problems.

[@chunxiang105]

Hey, I have a 240hz 1440p monitor, Im on the fence about this GPU. Do you think this card is able to hit upwards of 240FPS on competitive titles with the 7800X3D?

[@jannemann_17g90]

​​@@chunxiang105 Yes i think so. I played as competitive Games Valo, CS2 and Fortnite. In CS and Valo it was easy to hit 240fps, in Fortnite i had around 200 FPS but i have a worse CPU then you and got bottlenecked from it i guess. So you should be easily able to get those high fps with the 7800x3D and the Arc. Only for Comparison i have the 5600x

Card is stupidly underrated by snobby enthusiasts. Got an A770 in a microcenter deal for a customer and was totally shocked to see how far Intel had come, total game changer. $100 less than 4060, came with 16gb of vram instead of 8 and blew the doors of it in tests at 2k.

What settings do you use? All I see people saying is 1440p ULTRA or Highest settings. Like, why would you play a game at highest settings for the lowest fps? I’m mainly a console gamer so I’m used to 60 fps, but the difference between 1440p and whatever consoles do with variable resolution is honestly negligible.

[@ShamoaKrasieski-xm4ze]

The Arc graphics drivers have come a long way in unlocking this card's potential for gaming, but I wonder how much more Intel's engineers can squeeze out with driver updates? This might be close to the best we are going to get. Not bad, priced right, but not competitive enough for core gaming. Best suited for folks who like to experiment. Intel has open source drivers for Linux, so it might be great for Linux gaming.

[@ProceuTech]

Yeah, I keep seeing the whole “the drivers will improve”, but tbh idk how much more they can squeeze from the cards without a drastic rewrite/rearchitecting of their hardware and drivers. It’s been almost 2 years since these cards, at what point do we sort of “call it” and realize this is what we’ve got. Cards are ridiculously powerful if you know how to program for it, but without specific optimizations on the part of games it probably won’t stand out significantly, which stinks because I like the card a lot…

[@ItsDeeno69]

​@@ProceuTechI think intel said that the hardware is a770 is 3070 level so when ir reaches that it will be done

[@p_mcg]

It may never reach that due to hardware limitations and hardware design. Alchemist struggles with occupancy issues @@ItsDeeno69

[@Spenlard]

@@ItsDeeno69 Still long way to go in many cases. Also peforms a bit poorly with a lesser CPU. I have an i5 10400 rig I put the A770 in, then swapped it out for a 3070. The 3070 performed way better. In my 12600k rig, the difference between the two was a lot smaller.

[@AshenTech]

@@ProceuTech wide sweeping gains may not be in the books but they are now focusing on dx12 and vuklan perf improvements/optimizations that may show some sweeping improvements, how large we dont know but i have seen a few niche cases so far where an update targeting other games more then tripled the perf of a game that was already getting over 60fps mins. one thing to remember is they are still very much learning to get the most out of their own design, the next gen wont have hardware scoreboarding(no hardware scheduler) they are going nvidias rout, part of the problems have been them working around the scorboardings flaws and to feed the hardware code in the most efficient way possible as well, Raja was hired go give them a gaming gpu, he gave them a creators gpu, and left the heavy lifting for the driver team, same as he did at amd... i do see some titles even some older ones seeing gains as the drivers mature though... they have taken a systematic approach, now dx9-11 games are on native code not translation layers, 12 and vk are now being focused on more with dx11 and older having some debuggers working on stuff but major focus on getting optimization done on the driver side. from dual 1070 amp extreme cards to this card... i have no real complaints/regrets, Acer Predator Bifrost from Neweggs 2nd batch, its been a fun ride, and the cards already aging better then what it launched against. 3 and 4 series nVidia have multi monitor issues.... low vram, and are effectively a tier down from their previous generations... the 3060 should have been a 3050.etc.. and amd.. well i have loved my amd systems and cards over the years, this has been less painful then the last couple amd gpu setups i have run.. despite its flaws... i still want DSR/VSR in drivers damn it!!!

​@@_TrueDesire_ With all the recent layoffs at Intel I hope their graphics division survived. I bought 2 A770s and an A380 to support competition in the market, competition drives capitalism which drives innovation and progress so I'm all aboard for someone hopping in to shake things up!

[@USArmyVet91]

It is a great card. Almost weekly driver updates have helped this card become quite a good 1440p gaming card. 👍👍

[@snakeplissken1754]

Honestly, i think the a770 is an often overlooked value package. Decent native 1440 performance that will benefit a lot from fsr (specially fsr3 + fg) in the future helping it to stay relevant especially with its 16gb of vram. Surely not a good option for anyone that doesn´t have a mainboard supporting rebar and maybe still a bit of a gamble for anyone mainly interested in older direct x games. Especially older niche titles are unlikely to be a focus of attention from the driver developers to fix a potential issue (graphic glitches or stuttering). For anyone who only (or at least mainly) plays modern esports titles, modern triple a titles and who also has a modern cpu/mainboard combo the card can be a real value option. Even more so if you get a good deal/discount.

[@AshenTech]

honestly, legacy supports been pretty good, even niche stuff at worst needs dxvk or dgvoodoo2, same things i have had to do on amd and nvidia in the past... sometimes the same games... the wrapper gog uses can work as well... really not problem oh, nglide works great on the card as well ;) came from a 1070 amp extreme push the limit card.. this thing at worst is on par with that, at best more like having 2 of the 1070's in sli with a high ramp oc.. so yeah...

[@406Steven]

This card is THE sweet spot for 1440p gamers with a CPU made in the last ~5 years. Enable rebar and let it rock!

[@rnrbishop]

Picked an A770 up from a local place for 220 bucks on special offer, quite an upgrade from my 1660 super 😅

[@ennio5763]

Direct benchmark comparisons against similarly prices gpus would have been useful to establish the final question "is it worth buying it in 2024?"

[@rdsii64]

I'm not a gamer. With that said, I would like to experiment with open source LLM's on my own hardware. This card being significantly less than $300.00 with lots of vram makes it an obvious choice for me.

[@ProceuTech]

Then this card makes 100% sense, especially with the fp16 compute perf it offers!

[@AnonymousUser_02]

I'm planning on using it for CAD and modeling, this is Great 👍

[@gt1man931]

If intel had the drivers they have now at release, they would not have been able to make these cards fast enough. Timing is everything.

[@brynduffy]

Got the bifrost a770 16 GB for $279 a month ago and I feel like I "won". Great performance on baldur's gate, Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76. Zero complaints but I will admit that I'm not a big time player, just a few hours a week.

[@406Steven]

As someone else who doesn't base their life on getting every last FPS from their PC I'm in the same boat. My RTX 3080 machine still cranks better results than my A770 setup but the price difference makes the A770 the clear winner, it's more compatible and capable than people give it credit for, just buy one and play rather than argue on the internet which card can benchmark higher.

[@cHaMp630]

Personally I don't really consider 60fps that great outside of the most casual of casual most likely 3rd person games with a controller. Otherwise 90fps minimum or 120 ideally should be the target framerate any worth its salt gpu should aim for in most decently well optimized games medium / high settings at 1440p. I'll only cut them some slack if they can barely get that 90 with their upscaler set to the best quality setting at 1440p. This would mean intel would be looking at something in the ballpark of a 500-600$ a790 type card to get those numbers.

I was worried that PCIe 3.0 would bottleneck the A750/A770- after testing on a Z390 board with an i7-9700k, the only thing that effected performance was whether or not Resizable BAR was turned on (Called "Above 4G Decoding" in the BIOS).

how does it perform in the unreal engine 5? I'm thinking about buying the next gen intel cards, the 16gb Ram for that price is really appealing.

[@ProceuTech]

I used it for UE5.4 experimentation. Everything ran pretty well on it! If you want the 16GB of memory then it makes sense, but if you are spending around $300, the GPU found in a competeing Nvidia or AMD card (RTX 4060 and RX 6700XT) are more powerful in terms of raw FPS.
