Intel Arc series unveiled with the Alchemist dGPU to arrive in Q1 2022
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
@Gibbo will OCUK be stocking it and what will the pricing be?
I think it depends upon performance, but given the imminent release of the Radeon 7000 series I tend to agree.
True but the 8GB version which'll actually more match these 2 will of course be lower as that vram has always been expensive this generation. 8GB 770 around $300 / £325 i'd guess which for 6650xt/3060ti is doing well for the 6 months we have until the 4060 / 7600 comes out
Its very late but not too late yet, lower end Lovelace and RDND3 aren't going to be out for some months.
At that price it will be competing against the 3060Ti and the RX 6650.
The 3060Ti starts at £430
The 6650XT starts at £375
Matching those at £350 is just not good enough, the choice is RTX 3060Ti or an equivalent with less features for a bit less, that's the RX 6650XT, its not the A770 no matter how much Intel would like or need it to be, they are deluded.

If the A770 costs £350 and merely matches performance then it's doomed. But if Intel deliver 3070 levels of performance at that price point they may have a chance.
Yes, they might, if not make it a $250 GPU.
Blimey Humbug you have it in for Intel.
'now Humbug, point out on the doll where Intel hurt you'

Do you not agree with that? GPU's are too expensive, what benefit is there to adding another to that mix? Because its a different colour?
ninja edit, got that wrong.

Like I said earlier in the thread mate, I accept TMSC is ahead but even if Intel are a node behind, if Intel can crank out enough 4090 speed GPU's from their new fabs from 2025 all this GPU Market nonsense is over, probably permanently from that year onwards whilst Nvidia charge 3.5k for a 7090 (or, whatever they end up calling it) which pulls 2KW.
On that basis, I am prepared to give Intel a bit of moral support for the next 3 years, whilst the Intel fabs. come online. A 4090 speed GPU in 2025 for <$500 built in their millions is quite a vision of the future I can like.
Reading that just reminds me about all the noise Intel keep making about Data centre, "will will be competing with AMD's current CPU's! in 2025"
I'm all for supporting Intel in this, i was very enthusiastic to begin with, but then Intel came over all Intel i'm now i'm jaded, i should have known better, Intel want the big money and are getting their cynical elbows out before they have even proven themselves, i'm not paying Nvidia / AMD scalping for at best unproven GPU's because Intel want more money..... its stressful enough having to deal with that from the existing two.

ARC 770 16GB Pricing and launch data have been announced. $329 on Oct. 12.
Not bad really, for what you get.
Intel announces Arc A770 GPU at $329, launches October 12th - VideoCardz.com
Intel finally announces its Arc Alchemist Desktop graphics card Pat Gelsinger confirms Arc A770 GPU will launch in fourth quarter. Only one GPU was announced today, the A770 Limited Edition, the flagship of the Arc Alchemist desktop series, will launch on October 12th. At Intel Innovation, Intel...videocardz.com
But not good either, unless you want low end ray tracing on a limited budget. That's a very niche market. For general gaming, you can pay about the same price for a card which will be a bit better in DX12 games, far better in DX11 and earlier games and which has far more reliable drivers. $329 will probably be ~£360 in the UK, which puts it around a 6650XT in price. Which is a better card for every except for ray tracing.
By the way, the article you linked to states that the $329 price is probably for the 8GB version and not the 16GB version.
I wouldn't rule out Arc for my next purchase, but it's not like it would have been had it been available when it was initially intended to be. A year ago, I'd have my wallet open and ready. Now, I'll wait. See what's available in a couple of months and how much it costs. I've been waiting for ages already. A couple more months is no problem. I'm mostly playing indie games nowadays and those have very low requirements. Except for 7 days to die, which is so badly written that it has far higher requirements than it should (e.g. at least 32GB RAM to run well). I'll wait to see detailed reviews of all the new gen of cards, or at least all the new gen of cards that will be under £500. I won't go over £500 for a graphics card. Well...probably not.
It needs to undercut the 3060/6600 seeing it will lag behind in a lot of older games (DX11, OpenGL). Intel knows they need to work on this but they have other software side things they need to sort out as well. Genuinely curious about their ray tracing claim though, whether that's with or without XeSS.
I mean we've gone from $329 = £350 from Humbug, to £360 from Angilion, to £370 for 8GB / £400+ for 16GB with you... The $329 / £350 is for the LE, which is the 16GB one. Every other option will be cheaper.
I think some people here still wouldn't be happy if they threw in a 13600k with it.
Starting from $329, that equates to roughly £370 at current exchange rate, 16GB will easily be min £400. It's not rocket science.
