Intel Arc A750 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 x16 GPU Video Card + 2 Games & 3 Creative Apps Expired

If mostly for gaming, I'd definitely go with the RX 6650 XT since the cheaper ones hover around $260+. It's 12% faster than the A770 and 18% faster than the A750, although Intel's recent driver updates might've closed the gap a little bit. For how large the A750/A770 die was, they underperform quite a bit so I'd hope they improve all year. If I wanted a new 1080p build today, I'd almost certainly go with the RX 6650 XT at $260 since this year's releases look to be quite demanding.

Update: As noted, I'm aware of the driver update that was recently announced. Some people have complained that benchmarks shared put Intel in a bad light and claim the a750/a770 perform much better now but have not provided reputable benchmarks to back up their claims. Few notes here:
- I did not see a single DX9 title as part of Techpowerup's extensive list of benchmarking games. They generally focus on popular, somewhat demanding titles from the last 7 years. Therefore, the DX9 driver improvements alone would not change their ranking at TPU. Also, TPU has updated their relative performance numbers since they have changed since the arc A770's launch review.
- PCWorld just released a small set of updated benchmarks for the arc A770. They have a modest 9 game benchmark that includes a DX9 and DX10 game with the rest being newer DX11/12 titles. Since they didn't provide a summary, I ran the numbers myself. The A770 FPS results comparing launch day to now increased 22.45% overall and 5.95% for DX11/12 games.

Happy to see DX9 get such a boost and make Intel more competitive, but I'd really rather see improvements for demanding games where 60+ FPS at 1080p can be a struggle with higher settings along with bug fixes.

I purchased one of these a while back and had major driver and crashing issues during games. I ended up returning it. I'll wait until Intel gets better with their drivers...

Probably not a great idea as resizable BAR is mandatory for acceptable performance on ARC. Cutting the bus bandwidth down to 4 lanes and shoving it over a Thunderbolt connection is a ball of wax best avoided IMO.
