The A770 is down to £230 if you know where to look. Maybe OCUK will price-match?

Would you spend £230, if it is that, for an upgrade that is 20% faster?

With resale of the existing card, I would. I wouldn't recommend to most without fully knowing what their situation was.
I went from a 2070 to the A770, and I've been happy with the move.

20% faster is on the cusp of noticeability; it really needs to be 30%+. Then there's Battlemage to consider. But if you need a card now the A770 has XeSS and AV1 so I'm edging on yes.

Any card of this generation has those features, it doesn't make ARC a stand out card.

The OP's current card does not have those features.

Thanks for the info. I had seen this video comparing the two. The upgrade seems higher at higher resolutions (I use 1440) and varies a lot between games.
I agree the 7700xt would be a clearer upgrade but it still seems a bit higher priced than I feel it should be. I have noticed amd is doing a 2 game bundle atm on radeon sales.

That was the plan. I also have some 'vouchers' that I could put towards its which will bring the cost down well below 200.
Interesting to hear that you are pleased having gone from the 2070 to the a770 as I think the 2070 was about the same performance as the 5700.

I don't think the 7700xt is a card to buy right now. At it's price point, we should be seeing 16gb vram. Limited memory bus was a design choice, it doesn't make me want to buy it.
If the A770 is 230gbp as we've seen in some stories, and you're selling on the 5700. Then I think it's a good buy, if you're playing relatively modern titles.
For me, I just wanted to see if Arc cards were as bad as they were made out to be. Probably they were, but not in the time I have owned one. I also wanted a smaller card, as the cooler on my 2070 was ridiculous (Colorful's iGame 2070 Super Vulcan).
Price on the used market has actually been creeping up a little here in China, but I'm still thinking about buying another A770 to run some larger LLMs.

That is my feeling towards it but I suspect that I, like many people, just haven't adjusted yet to the current gpu market. Whether I am looking at the 7700xt, 7900 gre or 4070s, they all look more expensive that they should be to me. Unfortunately I don't think that is going to change.

The Arc A770 keeps seeing performance improvements over time as well. It may well keep doing so, it definitely is a great value / performance card. I've used a couple of them over the past few months and honestly think they are the best value card currently.
