Intel first announced the brand of graphics card called ARC about 7 months ago; About 3 weeks ago, the first player officially introduced the graphics cards. On the other hand, it was stated that the A-series graphics cards would first be produced specifically for laptop computers.
Now, Intel is just one step away from getting the Arc A770, Arc Limited Edition desktop graphics card, and gamers say it’s powerful enough to rival Nvidia’s RTX 3070 Ti and AMD’s RX 6700 XT He seems very hopeful that he will. Initial tests show the Arch A770 to be a little weak compared to the RTX 3070 Ti and RX 6700 XT; however, there is still hope as Team Blue tries to get the drivers back on track just before the much anticipated summer launch.
half the performance of the RTX 3070
With the launch of Intel’s mobile Arc A-series GPU, Intel has managed to create some excitement in the struggling GPU market. . However, the drivers for Team Blue’s dedicated graphics solutions seem far from ready with some features having a significant impact on overall performance.
Although this delayed the launch of desktop Arc graphics cards for months, it doesn’t seem to have prevented models like the A770 from appearing online. While this is expected to be one of the higher-end Alchemist GPUs, initial OpenCL tests suggest that the GPU in question is more likely to compete with mainstream GPUs like AMD’s RX 6600 XT and Nvidia’s RTX 3050.
However, the A770 GPU has also appeared in Puget Bench’s database. Interestingly, the test system uses an older Intel Core i5-9600K CPU, and the motherboard designation indicates it’s an internal development kit. Having two different scores, 39 and 45, suggests that the Arc A770 has half the performance of an RTX 3070.
Intel continues to work on optimizations specific to PC games
These results should be treated with some skepticism; however, Intel seems to have worked very diligently to improve drivers for Arc GPUs. Accordingly, it is noteworthy that the driver installed on the test system is designated as version 30.0.101.1723, which is newer than the public one for Arc mobile GPUs and Intel Xe integrated graphics.
Intel has an extremely difficult task of working on specific optimizations for a large number of PC games that already run well on AMD and Nvidia hardware. Regarding this issue, the company states that it will prioritize the 100 most popular games for the desktop Arc GPU launch, and then expand the list of certified games from here. On the other hand, judging from early comparisons, Intel needs to price its Arc GPUs in a way that encourages adoption.
