Gamers Nexus report on Intel's response to their video


Interesting commentary on DX9 and DX11 developments.

And its £200, cheaper than the A750

The A750 has been cheaper. And Intel's real competitor to the RTX 3050 is the A580, not the A750. All three are overpriced IMHO.

Battlemage will help somewhat, but even if intel manage to do the impossible and double their performance per watt (or the equivalent in die space), thats only 7800XT/4070 super performance.

Rumoured performance for the high end is a bit better than RTX 4070, and if that comes in at £400, that's £120 less than OCUK are currently charging for a 4070 or an in-stock 7800 XT. And who knows, maybe they'll improve the drivers even more and get somewhere near a 4080?
 
The RTX 3050 is overpriced, always has been, its a bad GPU, really bad at its price IMO.

But that video shows quite a mixed result A750 vs 3050, the A750 is on par, a little faster or much slower than the 3050.

The best out of the 3 is the RX 6600 XT, often by quite a large beefy chunk, i don't know how much that GPU is as OCUK don't stock it but the even faster 6650 XT is £230.
Really that's what the A750 is competing with and its a long way off competitive.

I just looked on the U.S retailer that Steve used for pricing on the cards he used, he picked the cheaper A750 on there at £210, fair enough, but picked one of the more expensive RX 6600 at $200, there is one at $170 and there is a very much faster RX 6650 XT for $230.

There's some cherry picking going on there to misrepresent the pricing, he could have had the AMD competitor he used for $40 cheaper than the A750 or had the very much faster card for $20 more than the A750.

Pricing changes from day to day. Notice that in the comparison video I posted the RTX 3050 is marked as $219 - far cheaper than today.

Yep, if they could release today it would be incredibly exciting. December 2024/January 2025, not so much.
 

Mainly positive comments with a few oddities. 'Solid' is his final judgement. He makes an excellent comment about Arc's real problem being mindshare - Radeon has a bit of the same problem.

Re: Counterstrike 2 poor performance arc a770 16gb

Hello everyone, I have a quick update. The issue with the black screen when launching on Vulkan was reproduced and our debug team is looking into it. For the performance difference we ran benchmarks with the latest public driver 101.5194 (Deathmatch- 1440p/high settings) comparing with RTX 4060...

Not bad, chip size is 188mm squared vs 406!!!! :p

(yes I realise it's 5nm vs 6, still not great though!).

ETA Prime tests the Arc A310 low profile


TLDW: better than an IGPU. Worth considering if you need a single-slot low profile GPU that doesn't need additional power.
