[@flintfrommother3gaming]

ARC A770 has 16 GB of VRAM, atleast the limited edition one which I think will still be made by third party manufacturers (unless Nvidia forces them to stop creating more Arc GPU's, ALLEGEDLY.) ARC A750 has 8 GB. The choice is not so black and white, that extra 8 GB of VRAM in Arc A770 is something to consider if you play AAA games nowadays. I personally lean more to the side of Arc A770 since they basically give out the extra VRAM for free considering what Nvidia did with the RTX 4060 Ti.

The extra VRAM is definitely nice. I bought the A770 & it's been solid af at 1440p. And that's with the Linux gaming tax.

I'll let you know when my Arc A770 OC arrives next week. My current system is running an AMD Ryzen 5900x with Resizable Bar enabled. and your computer case looks an awful lot like a cooler master case I have an older build in :P

[@perlichtman1562]

I’d be curious to hear about your experiences. I have been using an RTX 3060 12GB with Davinci Resolve Studio Free and Adobe Premiere Pro 23 and 24 Beta. I’m trying to decide between getting a license for Resolve Studio or moving to an A770 16GB (similar pricing) or possibly another video card, so your experiences comparing the A770 with the newest drivers to a 3090 Ti would be extremely helpful. Any chance of running the free Puget Bench benchmark for Resolve Studio for each? It’s been tricky finding benchmark results using the same system and just swapping the GPU for those cards.

I was a day one adopter of the A770 (the same one you tested). Things were rough until about a few months ago, but now it's smooth sailing on Windows and Linux. The main issue I've had is soft locks when really pushing the video card. I think it's an overheating-related thing since this card runs very hot to the touch. Also, I play CS:GO competitively, and when I run it without a frame cap, I get over 1000 FPS, which seems to be causing some hitching. I have to limit it to something more reasonable, like 500 FPS.

Their products had to be deeply discounted to move units. It wasn't until Zen+ (Gen 2 and 3) when Ryzen began to become appealing. This really 'woke up' Intel, forcing them to resume R&D, as they were essentially just re-releasing Skylake year-after-year, with a stopgap of: add 2 more cores... okay, add two _more_ cores... -Skylake 6xxx -Skylake _II_ (Kaby Lake) 7xxx -Skylake with extra cores (Coffee Lake) 8xxx -Skylake with extra cores _II_ (Coffee Lake II) 9xxx -Skylake with _even_ _more_ cores (Comet Lake) 10xxx

@mirceastan4618 The 7400 ($182 MSRP) competed with the 1500X ($189 MSRP) at launch, not the 1600 ($220 MSRP), which was in a completely different product/price tier; again, lending itself to my point, "[AMD's Zen] products had to be deeply discounted to move units."

My a770 doesn’t seem any worse really than any other card so far. It does occasionally crash on moto gp 19 but I haven’t played it with anything else so might not be cards fault. It’s Rock Solid in War Thunder pinned at 120fps max setting 1080p.

[@nickritz]

The a770 is now running pretty close to the 4060. The a770 is within 2%. The a770 occasionally outperforms the 4060 in some games. The only issue I’ve ran into with my predator bifrost a770 is the fact that it doesn’t allow me to change my system refresh rate to max out my monitor (making a custom refresh rate). It’s just not as clean of a process as the Nvidia way of making a custom resolution. I have a 165hz monitor and windows only lets me go to 144hz. I got a custom piece of software to do make a custom one but I was only able to push it up to 155hz for some reason. I quit trying to get those 10hz more because tbh I was satisfied with 155hz for the most part. Overall I haven’t experienced any bugs or glitches with the card. On mostly medium settings with epic view distance on fortnite I’m getting crazy fps up into the 350’s usually resting around the 290 fps on average when looking into the distance. Overall pretty stable experience. Also this is the only gpu that costs $350 or less that offers decent rgb lighting (predator bifrost a770 OC by acer)

[@AshenTech]

hdmi afik is limited to 144hz, display port you may need to install the monitor driver, once i did that mine defaults to 165hz 10bit rather then 60hz 8bit... same issue i have with nvidia so..l. probably windows more then gpu drivers honestly...

I've been working with suprisingly few issues, especially loving the constant driver updates that tend to improve random games quite significantly in some cases.

[@igavinwood]

Good job in working through an entire month and recording your experience Vex. I'd argue that AMD are actually providing the greatest competitive push to upscaling with their Open Source approach, as it can be used by every GPU, meaning that the propreitry software of nVidia and Intel has to be maintained and developed to stay meaningful. So if you think the GPU market is bad now, imagine how worse it would be without AMD pushing an upscaler that can be used by everone. That's why I don't like all the "dumping" on FSR, not because of it's performance, or lack of, but because of it's pressure to keep the propreitry software more "honest" and the option for it to be developed outside of AMD and across all platforms of games because it's Open Source. Of course AMD could also go propreitry with FSR and tie it to their CPU development. I'm glad they haven't, but if people keep dumping on FSR without seeing the bigger picture I can see a point where they say screw it, let's bring it in-house and tie it down as propreitry software, as we're not getting any marketing benefit by keeping it Open Source. As for the blocking of other upscalers on their sponsored game titles, I haven't seen any developer come out saying that's true, but I've seen reports where some say it isn't. Poor communication as always with AMD. Let's see how true or not it may be. At least they are not doing another nVidia manipulation with their AIB partnership programme v2 shennanigans. What always baffled me with ARC was that DX is an Intel tech, so how could they screw it up so badly at the start?

[@phoenixrising4995]

XeSS is also open source, Ngreedia's DLSS isn't, but at least they're not locking out other tech like AMD. Seems like both AMD and Nvidia are going the same crap direction for the value priced GPU market (sub-$500 at this point). I hope Intel can solidify as a player in the GPU space, otherwise get ready for more 4060 or 4060Tis, but $150 more expensive at launch.

After a month's research, I went with *AM4 5600X + 6700 XT* PC Build. This is my first PC build. I was very tempted by Intel's 1st gen GPUs given their _on paper_ price to performance ratio. Alongside new games, I also wanted to play a lot of DX9 games which I missed out on the last decade or so. So it was sad to see Intel's performance on DX9 or generally older games.

That's a good choice!

I bought the A770 LE 16gb at launch just because I was curious, wanted to play around with it for fun and personally I think its the best looking GPU on the market right now. Since then I've swapped it in and out a couple of times. The very first drivers were pretty bad but I noticed it getting better and better with the newer drivers. The last time I pulled my 4090 (that I bought used for $200 under MSRP) out and dropped in the A770 in about a month ago. Obviously there is a huge performance difference in the numbers. But in realty, it has been doing what I need it to do and I haven't felt like I needed to go back to my 4090 to have a good time. That being said, Its worthwhile to note that I don't use my GPU for anything other than gaming so I cant attest to streaming or editing workloads. Running triple monitors. Two 32" 1440p 144Hz monitors and a third 1080p monitor for watching casual videos while I'm gaming. I like my A770 and I plan to try Battlemage when it comes out also.

I'm sorry but this is a really shit take regarding upscaling and open source. You want the upscaling algorithm and code to be open source because then it will then persist over multiple GPU generations across various manufacturers that can be refined, improved upon and increase the pace of development. These AI networks are trained using large amounts of data. Right now everything is silio'd with them all doing their own thing🤦. MS are working on their own one as well🤦 Using H/W acceleration that adheres to a minimum baseline industry wide standard still allows individual manufacturers to offer improvements and innovation over and above that targeting their H/W improvements/efficiciencies. When you do that in the consumer wins long term. Basic standards actually help drive improvements. Currently it's a mess of everyone doing whatever the fuck they want🤦. This hurts consumers not the GPU companies. You do realise that Intel's drivers improvements are using a big chunk of open source code to improve D9-11 performance on their GPUs by using Vulkan under the hood 😂😂😂😂🤦🤷. They'd be utterly utterly fucked without it. Poor research fella. Intel are actually benefiting and building upon work done by Valve, Collabora AMD, Red Hat (IBM), CodeWeavers (involved with Proton/WINE) and others.

[@MrSmitheroons]

Very interesting and thought provoking review! I think two things will matter the most for intel soon, and it's not this first gen... It'll be with Battlemage. - One, the performance has to be there. That is the majority of the beginning, middle and end of the conversation for GPUs. (Related is it has to be decent price for the performance, but maybe that's obvious.) A new gen with new chips is a chance to change the performance numbers in a big way, and they should use it. (Sidebar: Maybe it's dumb since so few people buy top end, but I think they need a "halo" product to compete with 4070, 4080 for performance. Just to show they can. People naively or wishful-thinking transfer their feelings about the halo product onto the lower-end products. That's why they need it, IMO. It's irrational, but that's marketing for you.) - The other big thing is, they're still proving themselves for quality and eyes will be on them, whether fair or not (it's a new product line, I think it's justified). Quality needs to keep going up up up for the drivers and software ecosystem integration. If they can nail power efficiency, heat, low idle consumption, rock solid encoder smoothness, least crashes possible, all the software integrations like OBS, DaVinci, Premiere, etc, all the smaller things, that will cover more bases of "quality." Bonus for intel would be more XeSS adoption, since it seems to be keeping up okay with DLSS (not a trivial thing!!). Something to look out for: AMD has invested a lot in AI chips the past few years. Will they get an AI solution baked in and finally use it for a better upscaler??? Can they use it to enhance their encoders??? Catch up to NVidia????!?!?!? Time will tell for AMD's next (or next-next) gen... Lastly, on a bit if a tangent, something people aren't talking about much: Arc (actually Xe) low-power variant is going to be the new iGPUs. Will intel's iGPUs suddenly be competing with AMD's APUs? Outperforming them? Or does the lower wattage and die size (read: cut down perf and features?) make them not exciting? The potential there is really really huge IMO, but the potential for a let down is equally as big. It could just be a light bump over UHD iGPUs. I'm personally very excited to see what happens with the iGPUs in Metor Lake and then Arrow Lake (2024), Lunar Lake, etc... Lots to think about, and I hope it shakes up the GPU space for the better.

[@marxmaiale9981]

Have been using an a380 since launch. The November driver updates fixed the last of my issues in use and a more recent update for the annoying driver console launch needing administrator permissions. What will make or break Arc is 3rd party software support. Programs that exclusively use nVidia/cuda for speed enhancements will continue to perpetuate nVidia dominance in the productivity arena. I expect more support for Arc features once the tGpu elements start reaching developers in meteor lake laptops. The abundance of availability it a great incentive to incorporate features.

[@DIvadxat]

Good video, Intel definitely have an opportunity for gains in the GPU space provided they continue the driver improvements and software updates.

Battlemage is their actual serious gpu, i think the arc was a test run that they can still collect allot of useful data from. im kinda excited to see it, 4080 performance at a price lower than the 7900xtx... sounds amazing. it will crush me a bit considering i have a 4080... but hey, it means more pc gamers and upgraded veterans. also game devs can target higher specs if the baseline specs of users improves. besides, nvidia forced ray tracing to be a thing, and now everyone needs good performance in it. more competition will bring healthy innovations towards that and probably more tricks on scaling. or simply cutting resource usage down (which would help lower end cards keep up).

Because lets not forget the Die size and power usage difference between the A770 and the RX6700 or better yet its fully enabled RX6700 XT brother. 406mm2 vs only 335mm2! thats a major difference in production cost. And the RX6700XT and RX6750 XT are quite a bit faster than the RX6700. The RX6700 is using about 15-20% less power compared to the A770 so in the long run it will be even cheaper because of the electricity bill.

I've been running an A750 since shortly after launch launch and it has been hit or miss for me. You see, I am running linux (Fedora), and that has complicated things. When the cards were new, things were kind of tricky to get running, but that has been cleared up. Performance is good in Linux with the open source drivers, and they are actively developed. My main issue has been that a key feature required to run some DX12 games (sparse residency) is not implemented. This makes an ever growing list of modern games unrunnable. They are looking to sunset the current driver and move to a freshly written one that should support this feature, but that is in development still and as far as I know that driver will not support HuC for DG2 cards. I got the card as a novelty, to tinker with and because I cannot believe how much new AMD and Nvidea cards cost, so I am not really disappointed. However, it is not as clean a story as the improvements to windows drivers. Performance updates keep coming through.

Xess is also open source tho, and is not specific to intel gpus, it just cant run on as many gpus as fsr can but yes as u said, it looks better and runs better. I used it to play spiderman at 50-60 fps 1080 p on my gtx1650

Interesting, great job on the video! Probably not building a new system anytime soon but nice to see there could be a third viable option by then. Though any hard locks or maybe even blue screens can be concerning. With GPUs I'm especially interested in encode and decode of video which I do more than gaming. Still on a 1060 6gb so probably won't touch anything under 12GB whenever the time comes. 😄 We will also see if Battle Mage has a good price to performance ratio like their first generation. Arc seems like a special case and its 256 bit memory bus and 16GB version.

i bought my first pc with i3-12100F + Arc A750 just 4 months ago and the Driver Updates are making my editing Flow so much faster!!!, i was concerned about my decision and that i should've gone for the RTX 3060 since their drivers are more stable but boy i dont regret having this slick baby running with a stock cooler in this hot atmosphere rendering my 40GB project within 8 minutes!!!, and btw if you use The AV1 it'll shrink the size to 10GB but i love to go the casual OBS way.
