Benchmarks/relative performance: https://www.techpowerup
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.

Considering this or 6600XT/6650XT which are +- $25.
NVIDIA has turned to a scum company.
Competition is meant to reward the best contestants, not artificially prop up the distant finishers.
Note that I am not buying one, but if someone wanted to in order to encourage Intel to not drop the whole project, why not?
The Tom's Hardware review found that the A750 outperformed the RX 6700 XT, which costs about $350 according to another SD thread right now. It's just that when the A750 stumbles, it falls hard. Personally, I might seriously consider one of the Intel cards if I were in the market right now.

Now if they'd just cut the price on the A770 that thing would be a steal. I missed the chance at an open box A770 at MC for $300 the other week, but I've got my eyes peeled for another shot.

So you end up with a chicken and egg problem. Nobody will support the Intel GPU, because it doesn't have the market size, and thus nobody will buy the GPU, because it lacks support from developers. Chicken and egg problem.
That said, Intel should have been willing to eat massive losses to build out the support. What they were offering really wasn't competitive given the downsides.
