Intel ARC A750 Gaming 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card £249.95 + £7.99 delivery @ Overclockers

The only good this to say about this card is that like Stadia, you should be able to get your money back from Intel in the future by simply referencing any AAA game where this card fails to work properly. Google and Intel are just too big to even think about fighting justified consumer claims.

Otherwise with the AMD 5700 available direct from China for around 200 quid, this 5700-class card from Intel (when it works- which a lot of the time it doesn't) is DOA at this price. Really it should be 150.

Shame cos the intel chip has some fancy maths processing under the hood (for people who 'code to the metal'), but game rendering is so much harder than just doing maths, as Intel has found out to its cost. Years ago it could have acted as a 'physics accelerator' in your second PCIe slot, but Nvidia killed that idea (and so many others) stone dead with cynical manipulation of proprietary standards.

"It Just Works" is the one feature you should look for in anything for your PC. And no-one can say that of Intel's GPUs.

Gamersnexus tested the A750 with the newest drivers:


Big improvements in some games.

What’s the fascination with these, are they low power draw or something? It’s clearly not the performance (edited)

There is a reason why this GPU is so suspiciously cheap: like most things that are suspiciously cheap, it's rubbish. If you ever try to use this GPU with any of the games outside the handful Intel has optimised its drivers for, you're gonna have a bad time.

Not to mention that with Intel's recent financial loss there's an even higher likelihood that their discrete GPU division will be killed off. If that happens, this GPU almost certainly won't receive driver updates any more, which means that in any titles newer than the drivers, you're gonna have a bad time.

NVIDIA and AMD GPUs might cost more but at least those companies will still be releasing drivers for them in 3 years' time. Can't say that for Arc. (edited)

Why hot? Why a deal? Haiyaa! It is an RX 6600 equivalent which was £200 a few weeks ago! Why vote hot for a card at £250 which might randomly perform like an RX 6600 if the latest drivers allow it?

Need to squeeze buying ARC here somewhere

Passmark under 9,000?

GTX 1660 cheaper, and higher passmark (under 12,000). Am I missing something?

My 6 year graphics card that I paid the same for is better than this junk

rx6600 still seems like the safer buy to me at this price range.

Id rather defecate in my hands and clap, than buy this heap of crap.

I get you might be intrigued by it being intel and something 'NEW' but honestly, if you buy one of these over anything from AMD/Nvidia as your only source of gaming then you need a tight jacket and a padded cell.

Got mine a couple days ago. As most online reviews say, there is a huge difference in performance with resizeable bar. If you don't have have a 10th gen Intel CPU or ryzen 3000 series or above along with a supported mobo there is no point in getting this graphics card. I'm generally happy with the purchase moving from a 4 year old Rx 570 8gb.

After banging my head I got a 4070ti from ebuyer for 889 not happy with it though

It is still too much money for this card, unless perhaps if you only play dx12 games where it can compete with modern cards.
