best part of 10 years, doesn't change the fact the fans must have had 3years+ actual on hours and gamers nexus is acting lan fans dying is a constant occurrence .
I don't think I've ever had a fan go bad on me

I don't think I've ever had a fan go bad on me
Same here. My 8 years daily ran 970 fans still spinning hard! Had memory go on a few cards over the years on various systems after being clocked too much, but never failed fans. Even the cruddiest system fans are fine after a go outside with the air compressor!

Interesting, so raster performance-wise the a770 tends to sit between the 3060 and the 3060Ti, cheaper than either, and between the 6600xt and 6650xt, at similar price points to both. In RT it pulls ahead of AMD but doesn't gain on nvidia.
So ... it seems like a solid entry into the current-gen mid-market, but a bit late to the game given 40xx are starting to appear and AMD announce their 7 series in a month, and it's also not earth-shattering in price/performance terms, though it's not bad.
That all said - the fact they can compete at all there is a good thing. If they can launch 'Battlemage' before the end of next year with some driver improvements and some more higher-end cards, we might just get back to a functioning marketplace with some real competition in it!
As it is, this card might be really interesting to people looking to do ML on a budget, because of the relatively huge 16GB of RAM, and the linux support *should* be really good, because historically intel have been pretty good about FOSS.

Maffs.
Ok, to me, its not what was/is needed for the gpu market, performance all over the place, some good, some bad, a bit over priced (the amount is debatable though), BUT, to me the big issue is theres now a THIRD player in the gpu market. It'll make sod all difference now, but a few years down the road, who knows what they'll bring to the gpu table and pricing will be effected.
I replaced one on my 1080 but that's the only one
It took less time to do than watch the A770 teardown tbh.
Enrish bro, best part of 10 7 is not wrong
my 970 fan died 4 years into ownership
You're happy with this? you're happy with a card that is about equivalent to an RX 6600 which is $100 cheaper? You think that is good competition? And i presume you would be happy for Intel to continue in that overcharging vain?
How does that benefit us? How does Intel overcharging for their GPU's bring prices down?

Intel really need to adjust (slash) prices to be competitive, although its a start, drivers not withstanding, hopefully they'll improve but it'll probs be too late to make a difference now.
Makes me think though that people just want competition to make nvidia drop their prices so they can buy those instead. If this happens, nvidia make better sales, and the prices go up again. People need to buy both AMD and Intel gpus for the competition to really work (like THATS gonna happen), so Intel had better pull their fingers out and start improving now, driver and pricewise and amd had better have summat in the bag or its situation normal I reckon
HUB ran a poll asking where people would buy these, that was at $240, $110 cheaper than it is.
I agree with that, under $250 its good, at $350 its bad, really bad.
It boggles my mind, there aren't many, but there are some, trying to put a positive spin on these things, even trying to spin them as "good value" why? Clearly that's the last thing they are, overpriced is what they are, and by some margin, that is just based on the performance of these things, that's ignoring all of its problems.
It seems to me people are just happy its cheaper than Nvidia, they think that will cause Nvidia to act and now they get cheaper Nvidia cards, these people are deluded, AMD have a far far better chance of forcing Nvidia to drop their prices, they have failed to do this with cards that have a better price to performance ratio, a far better price to performance ratio than the Intel card they think is a better price to performance ratio than Nvidia, why? Barbecue people have no intention of buying from Intel or AMD no matter what, and Nvidia know this, the problem is NOT competition in the market, that exists right now, the real problem is GPU brand snobbery.

Never understood that but I'm a brand whore, get whatever suits me best for my money.
Beyond that I couldn't care less.
I'll consider Intel's first foray a good step if they improve both in cards and drivers. I won't be touching this though.
If over the last 10 years these same people put half as much energy into making an argument for AMD GPU's as they are right now for Intel we wouldn't be in this absurd situation we are now in where Nvidia are so far gone with the mindshare they are untouchable and charging accordingly.
That includes tech journalists, the way they treated AMD when they had similar problems, tho to a lesser extent, and when they haven't, even today, could not be more different, they are part of the problem. Even now a couple of them are trying really hard to make these Intel GPU's better than AMD against all the evidence.

some brands are known as premium and others are known as budget though.
anyone building PCs for a long time probably only really trusts ASUS, MSI, GIGA and EVGA
I guess it's hard to shake the rep of being a cheap budget brand in peoples minds
Says the perosn whos always negative about intel ARC. AMD have only themselves to blame for high premium pricing when they don't have premium features and a premium product.
They've made it easy for people to stick with Nvidia, I guess console chips take too much capacity from AMD and they have a limited supply so just charge what they know some people will pay

I was thinking of Nvidia/AMD AMD/Intel really but I get your point. I should have said manufacturer whore really
I agree there's something in trusting certain brands more than others but it's also dangerous blindly trusting any even if they are 'premium'.
I mean [insert brand] may have done an amazing motherboard on one chipset but then drop the ball on another chipset.
But then if they do one of the others usually plays the blinder in that instance.

You forgot Sapphire and PowerColour man - Personally I wouldnt touch an ASUS / MSI amd card and EVGA were NV only
.My 970 was Gigabyte, nothing wrong with it as an AIB card, but nothing really good about it either, everything about it was good but nothing remotely stand-out
The next one was an MSI 1070 Gaming X, the cooler and build quality on that was outstanding.
I made my next card another MSI Gaming X, and RTX 2070 Super. again, superb card.
Other experiences: ASRock, avoid, just don't.
Asus, overproced, Gigabyte with Asus tax
My PSU is EVGA, again its outstanding.

Those pictures don't do it justice, you have to be handling it to appreciate it, its a very well made card.
