Nothing awful, but nowhere near as special as they once seemed like they could be.
In 2023, however, Intel Arc may be on a redemption… arc.
More power for less money?
Id say thats worth a fresh evaluation.
A warning, though: while this GPU does impress in benchmarks, it hasnt ditched those quirks.
Got an Core i7-8700K, or a Ryzen 2600X?
TheArc A750 will still function, but not as effectively.
This is the case even at 1440p, a higher resolution than its 1080p comfort zone.
In these, it either competes with or outperforms the 300+RTX 3060andRX 6650 XT.
Now, thats reversed, putting the Arc A750 in the lead.
Evidently, if it can nearly hit 60fps at 1440p with a bit of upscaling.
All that said, the Arc A750 isnt really a 1440p card.
None of these GPUs are, when they can only reach over 60fps in a handful of games.
The same goes for the RX 6650 XTs lead inAssassins Creed Valhalla.
1080p also makes it easier for the Arc A750 to show off its ray tracing powers.
In other words, 1fps slower than the Arc A750 despite using lower general quality tweaks.
Thats no small achievement, when Nvidia RTX models have been ray tracing specialists since their inception.
DX9 was a particular weakness of Arc cards at launch but now it seems…fine, now?
Besides, this is not a GPU that will just scrape by at minimum quality.
Physically, it doesnt even feel cheaply made.
Its dual fans are quiet, and the bodywork has an unnecessary but wholly likeable soft-touch finish.
Im recommending the Arc A750 Limited Edition, in case that werent obvious.
