Its the same performance as my 2070 Super for the same money it was more than 2 years ago.
There is no such thing as a bad card, only a bad price, given the work ARC still needs the A770 would have some interest as an enthusiast curiosity but at £450 Intel are charging premium money for it, its expensive even if it was perfect.
The 6600XT is the same performance and £100 cheaper, i don't think Intel are at all serious about the long term with this. No interest in making it attractive, just milk it for as long as it lasts.
Shame.

I agree. It's at least £100 too expensive, more like £150.
Ah, read-ahead mode was off!

Stopped testing for a while and just did a bit of gaming on D2. Had it not been for atrocious performance in the tower, I honestly couldn't really tell the difference between the ARC or the 3060Ti. The absolute framerate on the latter is higher but that doesn't really translate to a meaningful difference in game. The tower on the other hand, jeez that was bad. Made me remember back to when I had a RX6800 and Bungo hadn't fixed RDNA2. Low absolute FPS and terrible stutter.
Note, all of the above was with my CPU at 5.3/5.2 thus should not be a CPU bottleneck problem.
Not sure I want to switch out again later or just play some Hitman 3. Again not testing but actually just switching off the overlays and gaming instead.

Running the benchmark in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands now at 4k, medium settings and getting an average of 57 fps. Occasional judder. The judder is removed by turning down the texture streaming from High to Medium. This raises the average fps to 61. I'm using a SSD and not a NVME drive which may account for the streaming issue. I get 110+ fps solid on my 4090 on Badass settings - everything cranked.
Here are my settings:
Horizon Zero Dawn gets over 50 fps at Medium Settings with motion blur turned off.
The Forza Horizon 4 benchmark gives over 60 fps at Medium and High settings at 4k.
Superposition managed about 70fps at 4k.

I was hoping to have picked up one of these by now to play with but the pricing just seems way too optimistic for what it seems to offer. When you can buy a 6700 non xt for 80 quid cheaper than the a770 it's hard to not just do that for the wifes machine instead. Or just keep her radeon 7. I do want to play with one though.

Only get one if you're happy with massively overpaying.

+4.5% on the Unigine one.
